The show stacks the deck in Margo’s favor, lending it a preaching-to-the-choir quality that’s well-meaning but never lets you forget its agenda. Go to Full Review

There are so many strong performances here, and so many rich characters, that it's riveting from start to finish. And in between those two points is one wild, and brazen, emotional ride. Go to Full Review

For a dully cynical take on the OnlyFans economy, there’s Euphoria, but for a more affirming consideration, "Margo" is well worth the subscription. Go to Full Review

Between Elle Fanning, Nick Offerman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and the rest of this terrific ensemble, it’s another win for Apple, and another reminder that some of TV’s best shows are hiding in plain sight. Go to Full Review

Bobbi F @BobbiF 3d I didn't expect to get this attached to the characters. Margo is obviously a mess and makes some questionable decisions, but there's something really human about watching her try to figure out adulthood while constantly making things harder for herself. The relationship with her mother was one of my favorite parts. See more Jazzmin H @jazzminbree 6d The artistic flair of Margo and her creating was the highlight of this show. Nick Offerman was brilliant and I think a little bit of a different role that I haven’t seen him play in. All the characters were great and all the actors who were casted was fantastic. Lots of funny moments and a real nice say on being a sex worker and a mom… I truly had no idea what the plot was when coming into this.. but was pleasantly surprised. I think I’d watch again, especially if there’s a second season. See more john T @RT04182353 Aug 15 Don't know what people are liking about this show. Just a bunch of irresponsible people keep messing up. No sympathy for characters at all. The only thing I can't throw out of my mind is that this show was fully sponsored by onlyfans - only by their request, people can call it an art by creating a corn. See more Lucile M @seikichi114 Aug 12 I really enjoyed this, although Margo herself took me a while to warm up to. She's messy, impulsive and sometimes makes decisions that had me yelling at the screen, but I think that's also what made her feel like a real person rather than a perfect TV heroine. Elle Fanning did a great job carrying the show, and I especially liked the complicated relationship between Margo and her mother. There are some genuinely funny moments mixed in with some surprisingly emotional ones. I do think the story becomes a little predictable toward the end, but I still found myself wanting to know what happened next. Not life-changing television, just a really easy show to get attached to. See more Dolly S @Dolly6890 Aug 11 Decided to give episode one a shot and I ended up binge watching the whole season. See more MB C @MB.Cinema Aug 4 "Margo’s Got Money Troubles" is a sharp, heartfelt dramedy that balances humor with the harsh realities of young motherhood. Elle Fanning delivers a standout performance, carrying a messy, deeply human character with charm and vulnerability. The series tackles themes like money, sex work, and family without judgment or preachiness. Its biggest strength lies in its honesty, especially in portraying post-partum struggles and financial pressure. Some plot turns feel a bit too convenient, particularly Margo’s rapid success online. Still, it’s a warm, funny, and refreshingly real story about survival, identity, and growing up fast. See more Read all reviews
