Halston: Limited Series

"High on glamour and low on insight..."

"The show is trashy fun, but it could have been so much more."

"Despite the broad strokes, five episodes sounds just about right for this series."

""Halston" doesn't merit the kind of adulation that its namesake craved, but strictly in terms of garnering attention, combining a marquee star with juicy material is one of those things that never goes out of style."

"What makes the whole thing work, start to finish, is McGregor’s huge, bizarre, involved, and inspired turn as Halston."

"This compelling epic about ego that embeds you in his world of brilliant designs and self-sabotage. It doesn’t hurt that it has a career-best performance from Ewan McGregor as its center."

"The series is littered with incidents that seem like they could be focal events if only Halston had focus, or structuring devices if only the show had structure."

"Halston is clean, sleek and beautiful to look at – but you might find yourself wishing it was a little messier around the edges."

"Halston is glossy and occasionally captivating, and the costumes and production design are gorgeous to look at, and for some viewers, that’ll be enough."

"It takes time to earn viewers’ sympathy for the main character, and it isn’t until the last two episodes that it really gets under his skin."
