vibrationsofdoom What can I say? A truly captivating and spellbinding series, one that positively overflows with meaning and poignant reflection of the world and society around them. This is the story of the beginnings of the MGM conglomerate that ruled the world in pictures. You see their heartbreaking struggles in the very beginning; the great depression is starting up, and there's the Nazi threat looming ever son dangerously over the horizon. We hear TRUE meaning in the conversational pictorials between the producer, who has a real knack and talent for getting the best out of such great stories, and the studio owner, who has a gruff exterior but hides a true heart of gold. There are deaths (without revealing too much) and they hit HARD. They hit hard and they change the lives of those who come to be in the magic world of storytelling. You see the blond actress delivering her lines and you FEEL it, you can see that there's not a better deliverer of lines, nor of the most honest, simple and stunning beauty. The period looks and feels like Hollywood circa the 1930's. Every character has a story, and it takes a few episodes for things to really pan out, but once they do, it's like a snowball effect: more things happen. You feel joy for great discoveries, new plot twists, and even one of the biggest and most well known movies of all time (I won't reveal what it is) starts to breathe and take form right before your very eyes. The way Monroe Stahr explains the art of storytelling and movie making, you can tell that the actor who portrays him HAS to have a REAL passion for the silver screen. When Kathleen says that she's just a humble waitress, you believe right along with her, as she effortlessly slips into character. I could go on and on for hours about little details, but you already get the point. It's a rare show that when each and every character speaks, it's a grandiose moment in time, and the words convey strong emotion and feeling. You walk away from each and every episode FEELING something, and that's absolutely RARE in this day and age. Unfortunately, I never read the novel by Fitzgerald, but I'm sure that it's a classic in it's own right. Just like this series is. Damn shame that all the great and innovative programming gets thrown right out the window for vacuous and vapid programming showcasing imbeciles who's biggest claim to fame is how much profanity they can spew or how much arguing they can spitball. Yes, true intellectually stimulating dialogue is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, but this series never "talks down" to it's audience. These are the shows that dreams and soaring aspirations are built on. Bravo!!

Arch I have thoroughly enjoyed the duly lavish and marvellous The Last Tycoon so I am bewildered and extremely dissapointed at the news a second series has not been commissioned. TLT is a high quality, well crafted and well acted show based on superlative source material both literary and actual. Hollywood's heyday is a much untapped source for an ongoing drama (especially in tv) and TLT brilliantly and vividly evokes the era. I sincerely hope Amazon will rethink its decision before it's too late. There is much to be said for timeless, enduring quality programming as opposed to yet another pastiche of blockbuster Game of Thrones as is the rumoured plan.

pantages-1 Great looking series, gentle pace, perfect casting and developing story line which lends itself to further series. The sets and costumes are typical of the era. It is coincidentally topical at present given the sex scandal events in Hollywood and elsewhere. this is great demo of4K HDR. Stunning. I am looking forward to a further series but before that I must buy the book!

frank-brennan-1 I am hooked on this already. Was looking for something to fill the Game of Thrones and Vikings hole and this is it! Then realised that so far it only a single episode pilot. Glad it has been picked up as a series and can't wait to see more. Great sets and perfect cast. Can't believe the pompous reviewer at the Guardian trashed it. If you liked the recent version of the Great Gatsby then you'll love this.
