	Author	Review
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"A lovely period piece that contains several top-notch performances (...) At its best, the series recalls the melancholy elegance of some of the best films of the 1930s"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"A few strong performances and a host of clichés (...) The service deserves some credit for its creative ambitions and risk taking (...) There's not a terribly satisfying payoff for investing in this 'Tycoon'."	NEU
United Kingdom	Brian Moylan The Guardian	"Awful (...) The dialogue is so clunky it lands like so many bricks out of the actors’ mouths."	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Last Tycoon' captures the surface of Fitzgerald's novel (...) [It] will be best served if it just goes off on its own path, at least if it wants to be an ongoing drama."	NEU
United States	Michael Haigis Slant	"With its artificial look and shallow characters, the series is too transparent in the construction of its own illusion to be fully immersive (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"'The Last Tycoon' looks great. It’s just the lack of dramatic action once we take the trip that’s going to surprise viewers (...) [It] is incredibly well-cast, and that’s its greatest strength."	NEU
