Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
Verne Gay
First-rate Jackson, entertaining series.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The prolific Jackson provides a reminder of his range.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Just securing a project featuring Jackson (who produces as well as stars) is probably coup enough for the streaming service, but the marquee value doesn't overcome what turns out to be a slog as a viewing proposition.
Variety
Joshua Alston
While "Ptolemy" has flaws in its execution, it's redeemed by earth-shaking performances, and justifies Jackson's desire to spotlight a storyteller confined to the page for too long.
RogerEbert.com
Nandini Balial
Jackson and Fishback fill the screen with pain that goes bone-deep, and joy that feels like a glorious victory.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Most of its pleasure comes from the easy rapport between Jackson and Fishback.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
There is much to recommend it; for all its dark elements, it is, more than anything, sweet.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
What feels so fresh-and so successful, thanks to stunning performances from Jackson and Fishback-is the boldness with which Mosley combines seemingly incompatible elements.
AV Club
David Cote
Ptolemy Grey braids a few genres with style and humor to showcase its star's range.
San Francisco Chronicle
Chris Vognar
"The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey" runneth over with life. It's easy to forgive it for being a bit much.
TheWrap
Ronda Racha Penrice
Jackson has never been in finer form. But Fishback stands toe to toe with the giant...
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
A series that started out a heartbreaker ends in a shrug.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
[Samuel L. Jackson and Dominique Fishback's] pas de deux is a wonder all its own, something rare and exhilarating, an alchemical reaction of youth and experience, defiance and resignation, fragility and stone.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It all holds together well, even though this could have been more effectively told in four instead of six episodes.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
See it for Jackson and Fishback, in particular, and for what they can accomplish when plot takes a back seat to character.
indieWire
Tambay Obenson
Performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Dominique Fishback are the saving grace for a series that wears its heart on its sleeve and is emotionally manipulative enough that one can't help but be sympathetic to it.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
Fishback, the breakout star of HBO's The Deuce, is as incandescent as the young Samuel L. Jackson was, and they make a superb team. It's the best intergenerational TV show in recent memory.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
Jackson brings every conceivable shading to the role, with confused grief evolving into a charming swagger as the real Ptolemy emerges...
We Got This Covered
Martin Carr
What audiences get is a family melodrama where mental illness is addressed on the way to another destination. There's no doubting the sincerity of those involved, but ultimately this glossy slice of streaming content lacks teeth in its latter stages...
Geek Girl Riot
Sherin Nicole
Similar to a novella, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey takes its time getting set up, making sure we understand the Before, so the After lands a solid punch. If youre patient, this one pays off.
