	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Murphy’s seven-part series is so committed to campy pleasures it never bothers to surface any fresh ideas."	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It lurches and stumbles] through its story’s convolutions with great purpose but little worth saying"	NEG
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"The sentimentality of the piece, coupled with the potency of many of the performances, after a while becomes infectious, making 'Hollywood's weak spots easy to forgive (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"I’m not going to argue that the storytelling isn’t sometimes too facile (...) But I appreciate the sentiment of what 'Hollywood' is trying to do."	NEU
United Kingdom	Hugh Montgomery BBC	"While, in its lack of jeopardy, the show is really quite boring, it is also pretty anger-making, and its 'inspirational' narrative morally questionable (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tilly Pearce Metro	"You can see the cast are enjoying every single second on screen (...) It covers a lot of ground and a lot of talking points – mainly successfully (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Stylish, strongly acted and completely disingenuous about the arc of the moral universe"	NEU
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"'Hollywood' dares to ask 'What if you could rewrite the story?,' but the show is never quite sure what that story is (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Tom Reimann Collider	"I found it impossible not to smile with genuine joy every time the show’s many pieces fell so perfectly into place. It’s an extremely satisfying watch with an invaluable message (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lewis Knight Mirror	"[It] provides all the glitz and glamour you would expect but despite the initial intrigue it sadly falls into a messy and problematic dreamland (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A limited series that not only fails dramatically but attempts a degree of social commentary that can only be called insulting. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Kayla Cobb Decider	"There’s something magical about 'Hollywood' (...) The costumes and sets are impeccable (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"[Murphy] trips over a sexy premise into a brazenly under-developed script which would never have gotten past the mailing room of the titans he namedrops"	NEG
Ireland	Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"The borderline between reality and fiction is often hard to establish. It does make the series all that more enjoyable"	POS
