Z: The Beginning of Everything presents an entertaining look at the life of Zelda Fitzgerald that's full of grandeur, splash, and old-timey wit, though the series suffers at times from a formless trajectory and over-the-top characterizations.Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Z: The Beginning of Everything: Season 1

Beautiful aesthetically. Absorbingly passionate romance. Moving poetic musings. Does not fall prey to a need to overly worship or overly villainize either character.
Just beautifully done.

I loved it. They need to continue the story. Come on Amazon pay for a second season you have the money.

Starts very, very strong. And then it begins to meander. I feel it would have been better if it'd been created with the intention to be a limited mini-series rather than a TV series, because then the writing team could have crafted a compelling beginning, middle, and end. As it is, without a season 2 renewal, it just sort of... ends.

Ricci is just amazing in her best element with the style & the flourish young people of this era. Great show to taste with wine and good company.

I'm a couple episodes from finished with the first season and disappointed with the adaptation. Their story is tragic but also romantic, like much of Fitzgerald's work, and the show doesn't even seem to be attempting to depict the vibrant and energetic love that is conveyed in the book. It is too busy making Zelda into the flapper/ heroine of the story when the book depicts her as anything but.
