Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama.

Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 9 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

From F. Scott Fitzgerald's last work, The Last Tycoon follows Monroe Stahr, Hollywood's Golden Boy as he battles father figure and boss Pat Brady for the soul of their studio. In a world darkened by the Depression and the growing influence of Hitler's Germany, The Last Tycoon illuminates the passions, violence and towering ambition of 1930s Hollywood.
