	Media	Author	Review
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"It’s exaggerated, sure, and it could easily all be too much (...) [but] each episode makes 'Halston' come on like a hit of some of the powdered substance he’s stashed in that Elsa Peretti bowl. Don’t make the mistake of taking all this too seriously"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A psychologically superficial portrait of the mononymous fashion icon (...) The series is littered with incidents that seem like they could be focal events if only 'Halston' had focus"
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"Truthfully, it’s a big mess. Still, as I watched the series, I could not help but get stuck on the idea of Halston as a cautionary figure"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A flat, empty provocation (...) 'Halston' looks for all the world like premium product, but McGregor is the only person here trying"
		Boyd Hilton Empire	"Despite telling the kind of tormented-creative-genius story we’ve seen in many a Hollywood biopic (...) this latest Ryan Murphy concoction eventually manages to get under the skin (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lewis Knight Mirror	"McGregor offers a wonderfully charismatic and emotionally rich turn (...) While it is a mostly successful biographical portrait, the series does not entirely meet the heights reached by its lead star (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Wenlei Ma News	"The series is ultimately too shallow and ephemeral to offer any real insights into Halston the man or what drove him to become one of the most well-known names in fashion"
		Ella Kemp NME	"[It] looks great but quickly falls apart (...) There’s a hell of a lot more of Halston’s story that remains untold (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
