Sad that this series was only one season. Really awesome acting, awesome show in itself. I know they're having issues at Amazon Prime but this is one of the series that needs to continue. I hope they figure everything out and are able to continue this show. It was really really good
I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Tycoon. It is beautifully filmed and the costumes are gorgeous. I loved the way it takes you back in time to experience another era in Hollywood. The show also reflects the political climate at the time. I didn't know the German market was so important to Hollywood. The show emphasizes the clout the Germans had in the script development and the casting. Amid all the Hollywood glamour - the reality of the business is depicted. The casting is very good. I'm eager to follow the development of the different characters. The Last Tycoon is a refreshing change from the usual choices on TV. I will definitely recommend it to my friends as a must watch new show.
I love the era, the costumes, sets, music and acting. The Last Tycoon has the potential to be an excellent series with a good life. Amazon has created a lush & romantic yet realistic portrait of Hollywood in the years prior to WW-2. Each of the characters are believable and theft story held my interest throughout the fast moving sixty minutes.
It's great to see Kelsey Grammarand Matt Bomerr again. There's a good love/hate relationship evident that will likely produce some excellent moments as the story develops.
The Last Tycoon is so much more enjoyable than the typical fare the networks are putting out. Carry on, Amazon. You've got a winner here.

Its funny because I just had a great conversation with some friends about a how much money the movie studios are making these days. Then I decided to give a look at the pilot for The Last Tycoon .I never read the book so I'm going in clean. I love period pieces, the costumes and the language, they are divine. Mat boomer is a great actor and seems to always have a glimmer in his eye. Whether it is be because of the pain in his heart or because of the revenge he looking to get, its always there. The rest of the cast played their roles in a satisfactory measurement. I do believe that there is an opportunity to to improve the dull relationships and obvious lackluster attitudes in this depression era movie. Good thing is that there is room for improvement, and with F Scott Fitzgerald at the root, there is a great possibility.
Once again, a series I have really enjoyed has been canceled by the powers that be! I will admit the first few episodes of the first season were a little slow (perhaps there was room for improvement in the dialogue), but as the series progressed, I was fully engrossed in the story. The physical details of the hairstyles and clothing were absolutely believable and the filming itself was gorgeous. I was particularly impressed by Kelsey Grammar's performance.
For anyone who has not yet seen the mere two seasons that exist, allow me to inform you there is an extremely interesting twist in the plot! I don't think this will disappoint. How it was canceled with such a high IMDb rating remains a mystery.
