There are so many strong performances here, and so many rich characters, that it's riveting from start to finish. And in between those two points is one wild, and brazen, emotional ride. Go to Full Review

For a dully cynical take on the OnlyFans economy, there’s Euphoria, but for a more affirming consideration, "Margo" is well worth the subscription. Go to Full Review

4/5
This modern musing on motherhood, dysfunctional family and doing your best is a delight — grounded by lovely chemistry between the core trio of Fanning, Pfeiffer and Offerman. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Here, Pfeiffer's performance imbues [her] character with several layers of complexity...thus building a mother-daughter relationship that carries much of the story's overall weight. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Kristen Meinzer Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Apr 28
Everyone's flawed. Everyone's wonderful. Everyone's terrible. Everyone's relatable. And I just found [the series] to be a delight. Go to Full Review

prawnda S @RT72497680 20h the show is generally good. nick offerman and elle fanning do an excellent job. points off for a few small issues but mostly because of sequences completely and obviously generated by ai. i'd give the show a rating in the high 80 percentile otherwise. See more Serena S @RT65659807 1d I'm invested and I need season 2! I love the balance of serious life issues juxtaposed with creative adaptability & silly sexist cosplay capitalism. The acting is superb-- they somehow manage to incorporate hegemonic ideals of men working in wrestling entertainment vs women in sex work vs women in marriage-- all done with the perfect balance of awkward & sincere! I want more now please! See more Dan L @RT08205290 1d My favourite show of 2026. Funny but also very touching and moving - it is very of this moment. You really root for the main character and want her and her little family to thrive. I’ve bought the book and it will be my next holiday read. See more John B @RT60735771 4d This show is tiresome. The 97% rating is BS. The latest episode was sooo boring and uncomfortable. There is very little funny about this show. See more Hudson V @CliffyWeb 5d Wow, okay, I have a very different impression of this show. Good cast: check; good use of Michelle Pfeifer: check; familiar and boring plot that you've seen ad nauseum: check. I watched 3 episodes and part of the 4th, at which time I was bored out of my skull. And yet, it's the type of contrivance––replete with Rocky-like heroine––that you know will garner 97% on the Tomatometer. Saw that coming. See more R H. @R53213 6d This show nails the dramedy category. The cast and production are perfect! Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfiffer deserves an Emmy nominations. See more Read all reviews
