Season 1 Review: You can lay a sure bet that the tightest, most original show of the summer will be a TV mini-series hardly anyone knows about: Steven Soderbergh’s “Full Circle.” .... To top it off, the series’ cast is on fire (get ready for multiple Emmy nominations next year). Read full review

Season 1 Review: While not necessarily everything feels as complete as you’d expect from a series titled Full Circle, one thing becomes crystal clear by the end: Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon absolutely belong in the world of crime dramas. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s not as ambitious as “The Knick” or crowd-pleasing as “Erin Brockovich,” “Logan Lucky,” or the “Ocean’s” movies. But it’s not trying to be. Taken as a creative twist on a tried-and-true format, it balances the experimental and the satisfying in a way TV should strive for more often. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s a baseline of competency that comes with Soderbergh and Solomon’s decades of experience, here put in service of compelling themes like karma and the long shadow of colonialism. “Full Circle” is a minor work from a major voice, though the show completes its arc with aplomb.

Season 1 Review: A cluttered yet compelling thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We’re going to give Full Circle a very tentative STREAM IT, because we’ve got confidence that Solomon and Soderbergh have a way to bring these characters and stories into a tighter focus. But, boy, it might be a tough first couple of hours getting to that point. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Given the talent involved both behind and in front of the camera, Full Circle is a disappointing, monotonous, and confusing mess that any non-hardcore fan of its writer and director duo should avoid. Read full review

Intriguing character, thick plot line, and a fresh story. It demands your attention but has been a welcome addition to Soderbergh’s other works.

An exotic woman prepares a ceremony to revive the dead. A group of immigrants sets up a kidnapping that goes awry. A famed chef faces a murky past. These 3 plots eventually intermingle, but this story takes too long too develop and does so with much confusion. The cast includes Zazie Beetz,An exotic woman prepares a ceremony to revive the dead. A group of immigrants sets up a kidnapping that goes awry. A famed chef faces a murky past. These 3 plots eventually intermingle, but this story takes too long too develop and does so with much confusion. The cast includes Zazie Beetz, Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant and Dennis Quaid, who all do commendable jobs. Although writer Ed Solomon penned Soderberg's last film (my review), most of his work has been in comedies. Here he's overwhelmed by the labyrinth plot that's more confusing than compelling. Director Steven Soderbergh's direction is assured, but the tedious pace and complex intrigue don't start to make sense til later and by then, interest in the characters and their plights has waned.… Expand
