Limited series debuts May 1 on Netflix. Ryan Murphy's second Netflix series to air (following The Politician) but the first ordered by the streaming service after signing Murphy to a long-term deal, Hollywood is a seven-episode limited series set in late-1940s Hollywood, where various filmmakers attempt to strike it big in a movie industry that is biased against certain genders, races, and sexualities. Darren Criss, David Corenswet, Jeremy Pope, Patti LuPone, Dylan McDermott, Holland Taylor, and Maude Apatow star as a mix of fictional and real-life figures in a story that doesn't always adhere to reality. Like Murphy's other Netflix series (which should return in June), Hollywood doesn't strike critics as his best work—indeed, Variety's Daniel D'Addario labels it the producer's "first outright dud"—though some reviewers find it escapist and well-intentioned enough to serve as uplifting entertainment.
