3/5
It's a tricky business, trying to understand someone as publicity-shy as media mogul Rupert Murdoch. He is, this documentary asserts in its opening frames, an enigma. Tricky word, enigma. Go to Full Review Tim Dowling Guardian 07/23/2020
4/5
The pie seemed to signal the power was waning, but this saga has a whole episode left. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 07/16/2020
Come to these films expecting glamour and you might be disappointed... No, the juice, for me, lies elsewhere. Go to Full Review CJ Johnson Film Mafia 09/11/2020
Beyond its careful and considered presentation of the facts, which are in themselves (terrifyingly) entertaining, the show features on-camera interviews with a lot of very senior players ... It's BBC 2, and nothing about it is lurid or sensational. Go to Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) 07/23/2020
In fact, as the show went on it became a fascinating examination, not of Murdoch, but of the people who make it their business seriously to love and/or hate him. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 07/23/2020
3/5
Maybe there's nothing else to give away. Maybe under all that viciousness and egomania, there's just more viciousness and egomania. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
