What to Know

Critics Consensus

An affectionate ode to the beauty of ballet and the difficult personalities behind it, Étoile isn't as tonally nimble as previous Sherman-Palladino series but packs plenty of the same charms.

Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Étoile” is filled with the kind of detail balletomanes live for. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) You don’t have to be into ballet to be into Etoile, a zippy, pleasurable and accessible-for-all drama-comedy, but you do have to vibe with Sherman-Palladino’s sensibilities – everything and everyone is extra. May 27, 2025 Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Extreme world-building like this only works when the story is grounded in reality or when the audience cares about the characters living in it. Without either, this series feels like an overreaching and self-indulgent exposition. May 2, 2025 Full Review Laura Fernández El Pais (Spain) …[Étoile] is of such a high level that it opens a new path in television fiction, but one, as always, that only seems possible under [Sherman-Palladino’s] incorruptible hand. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene A potent mix of comedy and social observation. And there’s an astonishing cast. Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Lindsay Pugh Woman in Revolt "Étoile" is a culturally out of touch cringefest full of two dimensional characters who lack chemistry and a gossamer thin plot that goes nowhere May 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrei D It's impressively bad considering what it has to work with Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Bugz B. This show is so beautifully shot and smartly scripted. I love the writing choices and the scenes of the actors actually dancing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Stephen C 8 funny and successful episodes!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Mark M Rather pretentious opening. Pretty hammy acting in the first episode. Didn’t find it funny. Callow and Haig playing similar roles to those they usually play but I suppose that’s the writing. Didn’t work for me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Navjoth S Comedy, enthusiastic, thrilling. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Andrea Q Amazing! So fun and it gets better each episode. So original as well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
