Season 1 Review: In the end, scene by scene, tête-à-tête by tête-à-tête, rumor by rumor, the show makes that enigmatic face on billboards about as fully realized as you could hope. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Just like the woman at its center, “Angelyne” seems to know more than we may feel inclined to give it credit for. The show has big things to say about womanhood and fame, but it couches them in this peculiar, hyperspecific, ever-engaging story. Like a hot pink laser beam shooting from the sky, both “Angelyne” and its subject are calculated for maximum, stylish impact. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Back then, you could still disappear or reappear as someone else. You can’t really do that anymore,” Glaser says in one of the series’ more meta lines. But in its thorough, thoughtful depiction of how Angelyne collapsed the illusory boundary between secrecy and sincerity, the miniseries provides both the woman and the icon the freedom to do just that.

Season 1 Review: Angelyne plays with reality in a way that’s fun and somehow never frustrating. We don’t quite ever know which bit is the truth, but Angelyne has no intention of truth. It just wants to be as surreal and enigmatic as its mysterious subject was in real life. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Angelyne”’s true strength lies in its nuanced embrace of the lie, reveling in the hot pink happiness she gives herself and her fans for merely existing while acknowledging the hurt and confusion she inflicts on those in her wake. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you’re a fan of flashy hilarity than “Angelyne” is for you. The series captures a camp quality and Rossum is utterly captivating. She finds the nuance in a character whose an icon, even if it’s just in her own mind. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The cleverness of Angelyne comes and goes and its intellectual points range from perceptive to half-baked in what ultimately feels like a Charlie Kaufman-lite feature film stretched — thankfully only to five hours — by the demands of streaming television. Read full review

Angelyne is famous for being famous. Most notably, she posted billboards around LA in the 80s promoting herself, while driving around in her pink Corvette selling merch out of her trunk. Emmy Rossum assumes the role for this series and her years of prep have paid off. Nowhere do you seeAngelyne is famous for being famous. Most notably, she posted billboards around LA in the 80s promoting herself, while driving around in her pink Corvette selling merch out of her trunk. Emmy Rossum assumes the role for this series and her years of prep have paid off. Nowhere do you see anyone but the charismatic and confounding icon. The story follows her career surrounded by people who she charmed into helping her. Surprisingly, the fake "doc" never discusses her own sex life, only the teases that she put out there. It's a fascinating piece of historical trivia and Rossum disappears into the role of this unique icon.… Expand
