Angelyne

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.

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.

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.

This is presented in five episodes on Peacock streaming. In truth one can get enough of the story by watching most of the first episode and all of the last episode, which shows the young girl who eventually became Angelyne and how that developed over her teen and young adult years. I found the last episode to be most interesting.

Like a few others today, Angelyne is best described as "famous for being famous." In truth I have no time for them, I pay no attention to them, I wish they would just go away. So I had little interest in this 5-part series starring Emmy Rossum. So I didn't watch all of it, I skipped around, until I watched all of episode 5.

In all it is very well done and from what I can find online probably very accurate. However if one is not into who Angelyne is then it could be a pretty boring series.

I think people rated this show poorly because they don't like the fact that Angelyne had no reason for being famous and they think there shouldn't be a show on her. They're not rating the quality of the series which is undeniably good. I had never even heard of Angelyne but no matter what one thinks of her, she did succeed in becoming somewhat famous which is what inspired the series. That's a fact. So please don't shoot the messenger. Those who contributed in making her famous, fans who appreciate people with no talent just because of breast implants are to blame. What is so amazing though, is Emmy Rossum's performance. WOW. Too bad she won't get an Emmy award for all the wrong reasons. She's super talented, beautiful and nailed this role. The only thing I didn't care for is all the dreamy stuff, cars flying over the city etc. Overall it's very entertaining and if people can get over the real life subject and just enjoy the show, anybody should be able to enjoy this.
