A limited series about the mysterious blonde bombshell who takes over Los Angeles billboards in the mid-1980s, planting the seed for famous-for-being-famous influencer culture. Loosely inspired by the 2017 Hollywood Reporter article that revealed Angelyne's secret past as a Polish-born daughter of Holocaust survivors, the story focuses on fame and the elusive nature of truth itself. The all-star cast includes Emmy Rossum as the titular character, Alex Karpovsky, Lukas Gage, Martin Freeman, Hamish Linklater, David Krumholtz and Michael Angarano.

Critics Consensus

Emmy Rossum brings remarkable depth to a cipher in Angelyne, a glitzy look at fame for fame's sake where the inscrutability is the point.

Rossum is utterly captivating, finding nuance in a character who’s an icon — even if it’s only in her mind.

Maybe Angelyne is an idol made of plastic. But what’s so great about authenticity?

This is a vibrant series that’s more interested in the stories that people tell themselves than it is in cold hard facts. And in its own way, that’s the most truthful way to look at someone’s life.

Tacky yet fun faux-docu has language, lots of cleavage.

Like the Los Angeles billboard icon at the heart of it, the unconventional bioseries is whatever you want it to be—and Emmy Rossum is acting her heart off...

4.75/5

The approach is mockumentary style, however it isn't mocking its subject -- respect is shown and her positive light is celebrated.

Great performances from Rossum & Freeman is about the only thing this show has going for it. Has some moments, but there really isn't anything meaty enough here to sustain a tv series to keep you captivated. You'll forget about this show pretty quickly.

"Angelyne" offers a flashy and intriguing glimpse into the life of the real-life Los Angeles icon known for her billboard presence. Embracing a neon-soaked aesthetic, the series navigates themes of identity and fame, anchored by a standout performance from Emmy Rossum.

Equal parts fun and tragic, Emmy Rossum is hilarious.

It's a fun ride from start to finish and it gets better and better
