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 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 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 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.
