The Mercury News Randy Myers

It’s a lot to stuff into one series and sometimes “The Audacity” does suffer from trying to do too much. But what it does accomplish is to deliver a solid right hook to the tech world and that hit proves to be acerbic, relevant and unbelievably on target, as are the performances from Magnussen and Goldberg.

The series can be unwieldy in scope, slow to unveil its endgame and uneven in its character development. Still, these are minor faults compared to an enjoyably harsh yet perceptive look at the psychology of Silicon Valley elites. Read full review

Despite the overabundance of characters, The Audacity still manages to make even its least important faces feel like fully fleshed-out, complex people, even if it does cause the story to drag at times. Read full review

The show they ultimately made is funny and well-acted and observant about the ways people inflict pain on each other, but doesn’t meet the moment in which it exists. Read full review

The cast is very good and the dialogue good enough, but because few of these characters are developed beyond a handful of identifying characteristics, it’s a generally cold, dispassionate watch. Read full review

On paper this AMC series looks like a timely satire of Silicon Valley excess, but like bad code, falters in the execution. Read full review

[Billy Magnussen] keeps the whole thing from collapsing in on itself through sheer force of his unnerving, enervating performance. His Duncan is a shallow, callow man, but at least that feels purposeful. Read full review
