	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Fast-moving cool for jazz fans and not."	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The world of Netflix’s ‘The Eddy’ will haunt you. The story, not so much (...) [It] is an unusual mix of the very good and the less good"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"It’s significant because [Chazelle] has harnessed the best international talent and given us a glimpse of what a truly globalised post-Hollywood film-making environment might look like. And it is good (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] makes audiences feel like they’re witnessing the 'real Paris' (...) Those who swooned for 'La La Land' may be slightly less charmed, as 'The Eddy' feels like the opposite of that musical fantasy: It’s gritty and giddy"	NEU
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"If you can shut off your tendencies to nitpick and simply give yourself over to 'The Eddy', there is a lot of pleasure to be found in it."	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Chazelle’s first work for television is an ill-fitting mashup of somber crime story and love letter to live music (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"It’s when it leans into that fascinating, cart-before-the-horse approach that the show really sets itself apart (...) After just two episodes, you may well be hooked on 'The Eddy'"	POS
United Kingdom	Flora Carr Radio Times	"On paper, the show has all the trappings of an exciting, prestige international drama (...) But despite its beauty, and the soundtracks’s occasional ear-worms, too often the series feels self-conscious and self-important (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Given it’s a Netflix original series from an Oscar-winning filmmaker (...) this could’ve been another casualty of the streaming era (...) Instead, each episode elevates a new character without setting aside Elliot and Julie’s ongoing story"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It’s a show that I didn’t think I’d like at all after the first two hours and ended up almost loving at times (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"If you liked the rehearsal scenes in 'Whiplash', you’ll enjoy lots of this. But where in that film they were in the service of a tight story, here they are the high points of swirling, indulgent episodes that last more than an hour (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Australia	Wenlei Ma News	"[It] isn’t without flaws and it often feels overindulgent, but on balance, there is much to recommend it, including the music by Glen Ballard and Randy Kerber."	POS
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"It boasts a chic, bespoke soundtrack and an engaging, talented, international cast — but 'The Eddy'’s dour tone saps some of the pleasure from its song (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"It’s directed with love. If you love jazz, you’ll love the show; if you don’t love jazz, you just might by the end of it (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
