Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Some viewers—particularly Presley fans, who study their idol's history with the fervid devotion of Biblical scholars—will likely be at least a bit put off by Sun Records' tangential detours from reality. But most will be able to put it aside, because Sun Records is just too damn much fun to watch to get hung up in the details. The stories are magnetic, and so are the performances.

Season 1 Review:
The show has fun stacking its cast of future legends. But next to the soapy melodrama of Nashville or the cocaine-dusted '70 Gomorrah of HBO's doomed Vinyl, Records feels oddly sedate--rolling along, and only moderately rocking. [24 Feb/3 Mar 2017, p.91]

Season 1 Review:
The show is far more invested in being a lightweight, soapy set of biopics--there’s a lot of meet-cutes in charmingly ‘50s spots, like the roller rink or the high school gym--that is more about playacting with a sanitized version of the ‘50s than it is about the history of this moment. It doesn’t help that Sun Records is devoid of plot.
