I will say that if you're not into old Hollywood you might not like this movie or might find it bizarrely excessive in its depictions. I didnt necessarily think the costuming was 100% period (esp Margot Robbies hair), but I do think that was their choice and it def made it fun. Visually its stunning in a Baz Luhrman-esqe way. The standout story for me was the transition from silent to talkies and the toll it took on the actors (brad pitt does a good job with it). Like Manuel says early on, he wants to see a movie set and be part of something bigger. I think thats the point of the film and the individual roles people from all walks of life and races played in it. I didnt find the length bothersome, rather more necessary to tell the story right. I was sad when it ended actually. I loved that they wove Louella Parsons persona in, Anna Mae Wong, Thalberg, the studio coverups. Give it a go.

I don't normally do the big CGI apocalyptic films, but I really found this a little different and would recommend it as a fun watch

I thought this series was going to be so exciting, but it was dry and repetitive, ended up feeling like they really had no idea what the truth was. Seemed like they wanted to excite the viewer with a boring case that really led to nothing concrete. A good character study..but no real crime reveals. This story could have been done in 2 episodes..drawn out probably in an effort to boost sales
