Critics are not happy with the upcoming series and they have many objections with it. Some magazines are calling it Ryan’s poor attempt to create a show merely based on his fantasies of Hollywood.
Variety thinks this about the series:
the first outright dud of his post-‘Glee’ career.”
“The limited series gets so caught up in depicting the Hollywood of Ryan Murphy’s dreams — to be fair, of any progressive, equality-minded, film fan’s dreams — that it forgets to dig any deeper than the surface,
Indiewire‘s Ben Travers also came forward with his opinion in the upcoming series,
He wrote:
“That the series proves an entertaining diversion, but it carries less weight than the smog hovering over Los Angeles.”
Hollywood” is now Murphy’s worst-reviewed show since 2012’s “The New Normal,” which has a 55% critic score and was canceled after one season. It’s lower than “The Politician,” which has a “rotten” 57% critic score. “
