    I'm totally enjoying this series. The performances are excellent and it moves fairly quickly. The cast is really great, especially the guy who plays Eddy Arnold.

    Really love the show so far. Such a great cast! Look forward to the show every week. Hope it continues the stories of all the characters and is on the air for a long time to come. It's great to see how they all got their start.

    Entertaining. ... While the musical numbers are all beautifully realized--everything seems to be performed live--the miniseries is more drama than musical; and as a drama it’s more a sampler of Early Scenes from Great Lives than a deep or driven narrative.

    When it comes to Sun Records, the hook is there, but it can’t sustain the beat.

    Repetitious (okay, we get it: Sam Phillips had an unhappy marriage and made out with Marion as frequently as possible) and clumsy in its lurch from one disparate subplot to another, Sun Records is such a slow burn, it’s kind of a fizzle.
