-
The series is ultimately rocket-fueled by the intoxicating, larger than life personalities and performances of Leto and Hathaway.
-
A sensational blend of docudrama, heart, comedy, and drama that is one of 2022’s best miniseries.
-
Altogether a compelling tale whose drama grows ever greater, not least in the final chapters packed with tension.
-
WeCrashed isn’t perfect, but Hathaway’s performance (and Leto’s, to a lesser extent) and the fact that Adam Neumann’s at times shown to be the hustler he is sold us on wanting to watch more.
-
It’s a wonderful and deeply enjoyable tale of rags to riches to (relative) rags, but it panders to the viewer’s schadenfreude instead of offering anything meatier, or any wider perspective or criticism.
-
When Leto and Hathaway are on-screen together (and that’s much of the show, whose strapline is “A Love Story Worth $47bn”) there is that special alchemy that shows like Big Little Lies and True Detective achieve.
-
The series sags in the middle episodes after an exciting start. The propulsion returns at the end, but viewers have to get there to enjoy it. ... Even if you know how the WeWork story ends, it's an enthralling ride to the inevitable implosion.
-
So, yes, you’ll have fun watching WeCrashed, even if the rhythms of the story are a little cliched.
-
The series fully captures the Monopoly-money quality of the startup era, the sense that nothing is quite real and certainly not relatable to most people on the planet. If this is a little sickening, it can also be wildly entertaining.
-
If nothing else, WeCrashed is a testament to just how long money — or the illusion of it — will insulate narcissists from consequences, and the slow burn of its progression makes the show all the more tantalizingly agonizing
-
Leto and Hathway are far more dominant than the holes poked in their subjects, and their performances more enjoyable than their characters are contemptible. Perhaps it’s easier to wonder at Neumann than be reminded of his sins, but that’s hardly an impression warranting another visit.
