There's nothing particularly ingenious about it; but there's no looking down on a good story smartly told. Dec 20, 2018 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic In Cooke, this Vanity Fair has an actor who revels in Becky's scheming and her ambition. Dec 28, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic Absent venom and mockery, there's no edge and certainly no laughs. What's left is just another competent adaptation of a particularly famous book, and ultimately - regrettably - a forgettable one. Dec 20, 2018 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The sets were lovely, the Regency clothes convincing and the romantic juveniles better looking than nature on average supplies. Sep 11, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Christopher Howse Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Though still a "very vain, wicked, foolish place, full of all sorts of humbugs and falsenesses and pretensions," Amazon's Vanity Fair is nonetheless a deliciously entertaining and edifying place. Feb 14, 2019 | Full Review… Megan Basham WORLD For those who have never read or seen Vanity Fair, this is a perfectly good by-the-numbers adaptation. Jan 24, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel WETA Bland literary adaptation even dulls edgy protagonist. Jan 9, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Marty Brown Common Sense Media And while Becky seems less unique today, Amazon's Vanity Fair is still worth watching, if for no other reason than to consider how original she would've seemed in Thackeray's 1848 epic. Dec 22, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Chris Osterndorf The Daily Dot This is a core story with good bones and these are those bones, decently played by a decent cast. There's nothing more definitive or illuminating than that. Dec 20, 2018 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Softening Becky's edges and defanging the story's satire, Amazon offers a self-contradictory miniseries without much of a point. Dec 21, 2018 | Full Review… Troy Patterson New Yorker Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (37) Audience Reviews for Vanity Fair: Miniseries Aug 02, 2019 Excellent excellent!! N J Feb 17, 2019 Olivia literally brings this show to life. I cannot imagine how this story would be any better without her spice. Missy O Jan 29, 2019 Absolutely brilliant.

Grace S Oct 27, 2018 Love this series. Very enjoyable entertainment. Oct 04, 2018 I love it! Genuinely cant get enough of it ! Sep 30, 2018 Set against the backdrop of the Napoleon War, Vanity Fair is one of Sunday nights best dramas. With a great ensemble cast and standout performances from Olivia Cooke and Tom Bateman, it makes it one hell of a show to watch. With lavish costumes and Gorgeous sets, it makes it one of my favourite dramas at the moment.
