A familiar family drama, relying on plot twists that any regular viewer of the genre can see coming from a mile away. Read full review

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if “Monarch” becomes a hit — but it’ll be like one of those sanitized, country-rock, overproduced chart-toppers. Catchy and slick, more about the toe-tapping and the easy hooks than true heart. Read full review

“Monarch” is a decidedly old-school, broadcast network prime-time sudser. Read full review

“Monarch” doesn’t intent to reinvent the wheel, but rather simply to wrap the rich-family soap template in a slightly different package, garnished with an assortment of country standards, sequins and cowboy hats. Read full review

Because “Monarch” (which is the name of the family company) doesn’t really dig beneath its “Dallas”/”Dynasty” trappings, there are plenty of moments that ring false. When the performers are on stage, they seem real. When they’re insulting each other at home, they look phony. Read full review

Monarch is a soap that’s all suds and no substance, and its most compelling character might possibly have the least screen time going forward. Read full review

The problem is that when Sarandon isn’t on screen, the other characters do little more than wander around with their hands in their pockets waiting for Mama to return. That’s how bad the show’s thinly written plot structures and rote, soapy twists are. ... The show’s grand musical moments do, however, provide a handful of bewitching moments. Read full review

I don't usually leave a review based on 1 episode, but it was just that bad. This show wants the viewer to care for their characters without doing any of the work. It throws us into a ridiculous storyline way too quickly. The accents are atrocious. I cannot believe they tricked so many greatI don't usually leave a review based on 1 episode, but it was just that bad. This show wants the viewer to care for their characters without doing any of the work. It throws us into a ridiculous storyline way too quickly. The accents are atrocious. I cannot believe they tricked so many great actors into working on such a mediocre show. It seems like they are just desperate to woo viewers of shows like "Nashville"/"Yellowstone"/"Dynasty" without doing any of the work it takes to make even a slightly watchable/enjoyable hour of television. This is bad.… Expand
