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 94% Audience Score User Ratings: 171 More Info × Close Submit review Want to see Submit review Super Reviewer Super Reviewer Tap to review this movie Review this tv season Edit Review 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 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 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 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 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 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) 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 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 View All Critic Reviews (41) Audience Reviews for The Last Tycoon: Season 1 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 Jan 31, 2018 I loved this and am so bummed that it was canceled after just one season. I truly hope this is picked up by another network as the performances in this series were brilliantly played. Kelsey Grammar commands the screen with every movement and breath he makes. Matt Bomer, Lily Collins, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Dominique McElligott were EXCELLENT as well and each could not have played a better role. The amount of vulnerability was believable and captured my attention from the very first episode. It was as if this series were made and tailored specifically for them. Their set, costume, hair and makeup design did a magnificent job at matching the era.Totally bummed yet again that this series was canceled. Lily P Jan 14, 2018 Wasnt sure to begin with but got drawn in by the characters the interStats story line. Suggest watching it as a bing session. Matt Bomer nailed Monroe and brought you into the story emotionally. Each episode just got better and better. I think its got great potential for some great story lines. 5 Diane D See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
