Critic Reviews

These are characters for whom it’s impossible not to root. As such, Margo’s Got Money Troubles has the pleasing smack of comfort television. Curveballs are met. Disaster is dodged. An unlikely resourcefulness prevails. The internet, as Margo finds, contains multitudes. So does this.

It’s an ideal adaptation and one of the year’s best shows.

It's the best new series we've seen in a while.

From its nuanced and frequently hilarious writing to its layered performances to its unique sonic and visual language, everything works together to create something special.

The first episode might reel you in or feel like a slow burn (it was for this reviewer). If so, don’t give up, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” gets steadily more intriguing and pretty soon its measures of love become truly irresistible.

A star-studded, wickedly funny, sex-forward adaptation, and it’s one of the most engaging and entertaining series of the year to date.

One of Apple TV’s best series of the year.

It's an often funny, very good looking show with a trio of leads who make every moment look effortless. Fanning, Pfeiffer, and Offerman are excellent individually and phenomenal as a fractured family unit.

The show has actual things to say about sex work, motherhood, economic anxiety, and found family, while also being a raucous time and a great showcase for Fanning, Nick Offerman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nicole Kidman, among others.

It could have gone bolder—it plays like Emmy bait at times—but is consistently enjoyable. And the charms of this family, who fire on all cylinders and are clad in the most retina-burning outfits, are hard to resist.
