It’s an intentionally delicious and messy show, born to be binged, although a lot of the name-dropping – Tallulah Bankhead, Noel Coward -- may float right by some. No matter, its glittery blend of the tacky, corny and controversial, while lacking real weight, is an escapist balm.

In a way to describe this but these series were so good and I think it's a fricken masterpiece show that everyone should watch and since i recently watched it, all actors and actresses did an amazing job playing their own role.. especially david corenswet, he did such an amazing job playing jack castello.. that just made me want to really like him so much and I just wish there could be a second season just to see more of him, alongside the whole cast too.. I would have to give these series 10/10.. its a definitely a reccomend.

Never has a series made me feel so seen so happy.
I'm literally in tears. No seriously, I can't stop them
Thank you Ryan Murphy

As silly as the series’ exaggerated plotting can be—and it definitely takes a bit to tie all its odds and ends together (the components that, in Hollywood’s vernacular, would make it a “message picture”)—everything eventually coalesces during production.

The early episodes of “Hollywood” are an entertaining mix of earnest inclusiveness and dishy wallow in showbiz lore. But, like those Murphy-produced TV series that went on too long, by the end, “Hollywood” is floating on so many alt-history good vibrations that it becomes less of a celebration, and more of a lecture.

A consistently handsome, often moving, frequently sanctimonious erasure of the actual slow nature of Tinseltown progress in favor of something that's more a fairy tale than an alt-history. Much more so than Pose, a fundamentally hopeful show set against the unlikely backdrop of the AIDS epidemic, Hollywood too often comes across as simplistic and naive, though if it causes anyone to research the period depicted, there's value in that.

A vivid but unconvincing ensemble fantasy about who gets to go to Dreamland and who has to keep dreaming.

This is the most disastrous project of his career, a limited series that not only fails dramatically but attempts a degree of social commentary that can only be called insulting.

Absolutely loved it. Fantastic performances all around, and a story like this honestly needs to exist. Forget history - a good story doesn't need it.

Good production, awkward writing. An easy watch for Golden Age fans but its preachy nature can get a bit much at times...

Great cast, but the plot is so transparent it's embarrassing. What happened to screenwriting - movies have lost all nuance.

It looks fabulous but it is utterly ridiculous. A total waste of time and money.
