    It’s mostly happy to skip along the (admittedly very charming) surface. This is especially frustrating given how strong the acting is across the board; these are actors who could handle stories with more heft, if given the chance. ... It’s especially strange how much intriguing material “Julia” leaves on the table considering how much it otherwise struggles to find quite enough to say within its eight episodes.

    An intermittently charming biographical hodgepodge on HBO Max.

    This is a lovely show, about a real piece of mid century Americana, and the precursor to all food television everywhere. Thanks Julia!
