What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mr Selfridge enters its sophomore season a slick and undemanding soap opera gift-wrapped with handsome production values, but viewer will likely remain split over Jeremy Piven's anachronistic performance.

All of this is just lovely, except for one thing: Jeremy Piven returns in the lead role. He has the range of a circus barker. Go to Full Review Ellen E Jones Independent (UK) 03/05/2019
Mr Selfridge re-established its reputation as Downton's racier cousin with the introduction of two intriguing new characters, both well calculated to upset the delicate balance of pre-war society. Go to Full Review John Stanley San Francisco Chronicle 03/05/2019

For each main character there is a new turning point caused by war and economic troubles. Credit Emmy-winning writer Andrew Davies for consistent plot surprises and twists. Go to Full Review Caroline Westbrook metro.co.uk 03/05/2019
[Polly Walker is] a sparky and welcome addition to the cast although it's unclear this early on which of the Selfridges she is most likely to lead astray. Go to Full Review Lisa-Marie Ferla The Arts Desk 03/05/2019
If the second series of Mr Selfridge is not intended as commentary on pre-war sexism, classism and ageism then writers Andrew Davies and Kate Brooke have done a fine job at pretending otherwise. Go to Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian 03/05/2019
While Mr. Selfridge has the sumptuous early twentieth-century costumes and production design familiar from previous British-made fare... its star, Jeremy Piven, is stubbornly contemporary, a walking digital download in a roomful of harpsichords. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/02/2014 Exceptional series. Can't wait to see what happens next. See more 04/26/2014 I love Mr. Selfridge! Jeremy Piven is awesome. He is naturally an actor that is easy to love. What I like is that he plays a passionate, kind, intelligent, and caring business man. He is so convincing. Yes, we all love/hate and miss Ari Gold (Entourage) terribly in my house.. but lets move on and appreciate what is new and the wonderful talent he once again brings to us. He is SO underrated. Love Frances O'Conner! And though I don't know many of the other actors or their work they are all making their way into my heart. It's a GREAT show. It's very refreshing. See more 04/20/2014 This show has more depth the second season. It is fairly actual to the real life of Selfridge. This show has made me put going to Selfridge department store on my bucket list. I look forward how the world war I influences the show. See more 04/06/2014 Love PBS Selfridge's See more 03/31/2014 It's -- shoddy. The clothes, especially the hats -- oh the hats. The hats are so terrible they distract me from caring about anything else. I guess "second rate," might be an apt description, as though they'd been sewn together with bits and pieces in a hurry. It's even worse when I compare them to the clothes and hats in Downton Abbey. The hair, and makeup and the general over-all atmosphere -- Oh, I can't bear it -- I must lie down now.
