David Bianculli NPR May 6
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

NerdCall T @nerdcall 4d There’s something truly beautiful about how the series manages to address motherhood, money, loneliness, and sexuality without turning any of it into a big moral lecture. The series understands that just getting by financially is exhausting enough without having to judge its protagonist all the time. David E. Kelley strikes an impressive balance between the heartwarming, the comical, and the melancholic, making the series feel almost intimate at various moments. And it helps a lot that the entire cast has incredible chemistry, especially Nick Offerman and Michelle Pfeiffer, who play characters that are as chaotic as they are welcoming in Margo’s life. But the one who really makes it all work is Elle Fanning. There’s such a naturalness to her performance that, after a few episodes, you stop watching "a character" and simply start following a person trying to survive.

Not since Weeds has there been a compelling family I can care about. The performances are too notch and the story moves along at a good pace. See more Some Guy F @RT75171520 6d On paper sounds like it should be interesting with the cast and the plot. In reality this is one of the most boring melodramatic things I've ever seen and I consume a lot of media. See more Sal D @JustTheLaw 6d Spoiler Alerts Simply out, good but not great. Casting, performances and directing were dragged down by a script that felt predictable and filler. Nick Offman’s character having a relapse? You could telegraphed that from his first scene. Child custody dispute? Well, how else are the writers going to fill the last 3 episodes? Still, all in all, the cast & crew deserve 3.5 stars. See more Clover M @RT78406868 6d Margo’s Got Money Problems" is creative, emotional, funny, messy, and deeply human all at once. The cast is absolutely dynamic — I genuinely can’t imagine anyone else playing these characters. Their chemistry feels effortless and lived-in, which makes every moment hit even harder. Loved it!
