Angelyne

Look, it's a show about a woman who craved fame- that's the show. Some of these reviews are unreliable as they clearly haven't watched it. It mentions the Kardashians once in the very first few lines. Simply drawing a parallel of women who wanted to be famous. But this show is about the journey of a woman who wanted to live in a fantasy land; to cover flaws with glitter. It's campy, wild, and partially true (mockumentary stlye). You either like it or you don't, but I can't imagine giving a 1 star rating just because you think it's 'stupid'. The acting is great, the editing, costumes, sets--are all great--definitley not 1 star worthy. This is camp. It's meant to be like this, Angelyne was an icon in her own right. She wasn't trying to save the world or anything, but she wanted the glitz and the glam. Angelyne was a character and this show captured that. Emmie Rossum, Martin Freeman, and the whole cast really deliver. Give it a try if you're into a story like this.

Angelyne is a story about a young woman who wants to be more than life, more than just a woman but an icon. She vapid, selfish and a more than life Barbie doll living in the plastic life of Hollywood in the 80's. It's not a show for everyone as the show itself is look into the superficial empty world of Hollywood starlets, models and people in general. Angelyne although selfishly empty she does have standards and refuses to see her self short. She wants fame but and will do almost anything to obtain it.

This mocumentary on Hollywood's superficial world is hilarious. Emmy is amazing in the role and it's great seeing her bacjk front and center since she left Shameless. Love Emmy and I am enjoying this show. Molly is also great and for some strange reason IMDB as failed to include her in the credits. Which is truly insulting to Molly.

Costumes, set pieces all have a real 80's feel and one of the few shows to pull it off right.

Some of you are missing the point. Angelyne was Instagram before Instagram. Her narcissism, shallowness, and vapidness are the point. I met Angelyne in West Hollywood and she was just like this. Would only take a photo if I bought a signed magazine out the back of her famous pink Corvette.

Not 100% accurate, but a very well done piece of fiction mixed with non-fiction and Emmy is a very good actress. The guy who played Scott Hennig aka "Rick Krause" was exceptional and nailed his persona as well as the guy who played Hugo. It's a television show, so yeah, it's not all accurate. I worked with her for many years so I know. But it was very well done. End, full stop.

The great team behind this has delivered a fantastic experience that equally fun and tragic while also being just as unique as the subject it's based on.
