9.5/10
You can choose to watch Julia for its splendid ensemble cast, terrific leading lady, evocative art direction, or for all the recipes, both inspirational and aspirational. Regardless, you’ll find something to savor. Bon appétit! Go to Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) 08/09/2022
The writing across the series is clever, with many peripheral characters enjoying a depth to their development, including Brittany Bradford's African American producer fighting to have her ideas recognised. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alice E 11/01/2024 Again Sarah Lancashire demonstrates her versatility in this portrayal of Julia Child. Is there anything this fantastic actress can do? Not being familiar with Julia Childs life this sent me off down a rabbit hole finding out what a remarkable person she really was. I think she would have been delighted the way Sarah had captured her personality and likability. A very entertaining and enjoyable series See more Joan K 10/22/2024 Absolutely delightful. Interesting characters, good story, well written and well acted. See more James B @Jamie941 01/20/2024 Awesome ! Great storyline with superb acting. It's not just the superstar Sarah Lancashire that delivers stellar performance. Loved it and can't wait to see how this develops. See more Rose R 01/18/2024 There is nothing bad about this show!! Sarah Lancashire portrays Julia brilliantly. Wonderful cast, wonderful writing, wonderful costumes, scenery... 💞 See more Lurleen B 12/09/2023 It comes off as a caricature of Julia Childs. Aside from the many inaccuracies Sara Lancaster makes Julia seem very insecure and the accent is no where near close to Julia's. The constantly befuddled expression, the hair and Julia was actually quite slim. While the show is entertaining it is not a realistic portrayal of Julia Child. See more Jaye 12/09/2023 This series is fantastic! The acting and the food! I became a Julia Childs' fan when I saw the last movie about her . This series is even better ! I look forward to watching every episode , I hope they don't end! See more Read all reviews
