Season 1 Review:
This is sensorial bombardment, sights and sounds that shouldn’t work together, let alone in a series meant to connect the failures of our past with the nightmare of our present. But through this elaborate mash-up, Wright creates the off-kilter atmosphere necessary to underscore the danger at hand.

Season 1 Review:
He is the star of a darkly comic opera buffa, and “Son of the Century” presents it like a modern, multimedia Broadway production, which can be exhausting and bloodless but is rarely boring. And Wright and McGarvey’s images — their staging of debates in the vertiginous amphitheater of the Italian parliament, or of a Fascist mob storming into a production of “Madama Butterfly” — can be extraordinary.
