His unique story is beautifully brought to life by Ewan McGregor’s exceptional creation. The character wouldn’t be remotely likeable if it weren’t for McGregor’s ability to capture the designer’s haughty style and notable flaws with aplomb and gravity. Other strong performances come from Krysta Rodriguez as close friend Liza Minnelli and Gian Franco Rodriguez as his lover Victor Hugo. Interestingly, before Joel Schumacher became a famous film director, he spent his early career with Halston (played with depth by Rory Culkin). Since Ryan Murphy heads the writer/producer team, we’re rewarded with fabulous visuals, scandalous excess and emotional hardship. It’s also fun to look back at the glory days of Studio 54 and the New York scene from the period. The series certainly revels in the sensational aspects of Halston’s trajectory, and even if the personal aspects are less developed, McGregor’s performance is the series’ strongest asset.

Very well done and excellent acting. First I had ever heard of David Pittu, who disappeared into the role. Born in 1975 I don’t remember having even heard the name.

Not great as it could have been but good. Ryan Murphy finally comes up with something worth watching. A missed opportunity, if you can't make Halston fabulous what can you do?

At this point I will continue to say that Ryan Murphy scammed Netflix with his millionaire contract.

Everything that he has produced for them has been nothing more than his style covering his extensive narrative deficiencies. Here IAt this point I will continue to say that Ryan Murphy scammed Netflix with his millionaire contract.

Everything that he has produced for them has been nothing more than his style covering his extensive narrative deficiencies.

Here I understand that he was only an executive producer, but whoever was in control of the production, left Ewan McGregor helpless, so that he would do his best to rescue a story that they never manage to bring to life.
And I say this, because he did his job, but that wasn't enough to make this better.… Expand
