Season 1 Review:
This is a thrilling and often moving production, one that pushes the outer edge of the envelope of its innate limitations as product, and illuminates the material in a sorrowful, sensitive manner. Directed and coproduced by Jamila Wignot ("The African-Americans: Many Rivers to Cross"), its scope, ambition, and pace evoke "OJ Simpson: Made in America".

Season 1 Review:
It’s just as important that Soulsville, as a docuseries, does not shy away from the acrimonious relationships and succession of business deals that fed into the strife of Stax’s later history. That stuff is as big a part of its legacy as the magic of those sound and era-defining singles. But Soulsville elevates that material, too, with access to many of the key figures who made it.

Season 1 Review:
In the best way possible, the four-part series from filmmaker Jamila Wignot feels like falling down a rabbit hole. When it comes to the soundtrack of the ’60s and ’70s, Motown was an essential player. But the story behind — and influence of — Stax is just as relevant.
