Scott Fitzgerald's vision of Hollywood has lush production values and an attractive varnish of glamorous pedigree, but lacks a storytelling hook or a compelling character to latch onto - resulting in an inert bauble that is pleasing to look at but elusive to feel. 46% TOMATOMETER Critic Ratings: 41 93% Audience Score User Ratings: 175 See score details Rate And Review Submit review Want to see Edit Submit review Super Reviewer Verified Super Reviewer Verified Edit Super Reviewer Rate this season Oof, that was Rotten.

More Critic Reviews for The Last Tycoon Season 1 All Critics (41) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (19) | Rotten (22) The melodrama is largely focused on the people inside and on an industry that's always been in love with itself. It's not a perfect show, but it's a pretty perfect binge-watch, if that's how you choose to do it. Mar 1, 2019 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic The result is a glossy look at the time period that, despite leaning on some familiar emotional and story territory, still makes for an engaging, enjoyable viewing experience. Jul 31, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic The Last Tycoon is so sumptuous that it's easy to overlook how pedestrian the story often is. That's not immediately apparent because what's onscreen is stunning. Jul 27, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The show looks beautiful enough and has been so well-cast that those qualities can sometimes be enough when you're looking for a streaming option on a hot summer weekend. Jul 26, 2017 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic A diverting series that uses history the way revelers at a Gatsby-themed party today use a strand of fake pearls... It's a missed opportunity. One that, after a gorgeous 10 hours, you may not remember. Mar 1, 2019 | Full Review… Daniel D'Addario TIME Magazine Top Critic The Last Tycoon is in the vein of Hollywood's current trend of turning the cameras on itself... this latest effort is just glossy and showy, like the unreality of Hollywood itself, lacking much of a heart or soul. Worse than that, it's predictable. Jul 31, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Gwen Ihnat AV Club Top Critic The Last Tycoon has all the glamorous trappings of old Hollywood: Amazon clearly threw lots of money at the screen, with sumptuous costumes by Mad Men designer Janie Bryant. But the joy is missing. Mar 1, 2019 | Full Review… Dave Nemetz TV Line The series acutely feels like an idea that would have made for a good movie, instead of being stretched to a breaking point to make it work for TV. Mar 1, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider While the period details are exquisite throughout "The Last Tycoon," the conflict doesn't jump off the screen quite like the costumes. Nov 1, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com There's a lot of pedigree here, but none of it jumps off the screen. Dec 20, 2017 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider Part of the problem is that [Matt] Bomer's performance doesn't suggest the emotional or artistic depths of Monroe. In a role that calls for a Don Draper, he is too often like a less-pouty Pete Campbell. Dec 27, 2017 | Full Review… Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) The Last Tycoon is a 1930s Hollywood drama based on the last, unfinished novel by F Scott Fitzgerald. This script should have stayed in the drawer, too. Dec 26, 2017 | Full Review… Louis Wise Sunday Times (UK) View All Critic Reviews (41) Audience Reviews for The Last Tycoon: Season 1 May 18, 2020 Not good, certainly not an improvement on the Elia Kazan 1976 movie. Although both suffer from a lack of realism with regards to the Stahr character. His physical vulnerability needs to be in the casting. He couldn't be a superman, not physically if he is based on Irving Thalberg? Saadi H Mar 06, 2020 Magically, nostalgically fabulous! Why was it cancelled? I want more seasons! I got hooked!!! ♥️ Lana P Jan 12, 2020 I want to see a second season. I love this series. It was left unfinished. It stinks that the Kathleen character and The Pat Brady character get away with their shady antics. Celeste C Nov 05, 2019 Amazing show...too bad they canceled it.. :( I hope that it will be a second season somewhere...... Andreas G Aug 03, 2019 Top quality in every way. Acting, Writing, Directing. I enjoyed it very much. It's was sad to learn that such a rare ensemble of talent and movie magic will not continue. Keith S Apr 10, 2019 once you got into it, it was an excellent show. Classic period piece, beautifully filmed, great cast. Too bad it was canceled Chris H Nov 29, 2018 This was a really good show! So surprised that it was cancelled. But, still worth binge watching the show! Kathy B Nov 18, 2018 Bring season 2!!! Beautiful show with a great cast. Im shocked this was cancelled. Eric S Jun 22, 2018 This is an Awesome show. I need more! Jun 15, 2018 I really enjoyed watching the first season, loved every moment of it!!! I was so disappoint when I just found out the show was cancelled, this sucks, Amazon should reconsider Sarah H See all Audience reviews News & Features 200 Erotic Movies Coming attractions for you 2020's Most Anticipated Movies What and when to watch Video Game Movies Ranked 43 ranked worst to best Best Netflix Series and Shows What to watch right now More News & Features TOP HEADLINES All Upcoming Disney Movies: New Disney Live-Action, Animation, Pixar, Marvel, and More – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Quibi Shows to Stream Now – Rotten Tomatoes The 64 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 – Rotten Tomatoes Sundance 2020 Movie Scorecard – Rotten Tomatoes Everything We Know About The Lord of the Rings Amazon Series – Rotten Tomatoes 2019 Rotten Movies We Love – Rotten Tomatoes The 50 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 – Rotten Tomatoes 100 Fresh Movies You Can Watch for Free Online Right Now – Rotten Tomatoes More Headlines View All Results Go back More trailers
