High on glamour and low on insight...

Daily Telegraph

The show is trashy fun, but it could have been so much more.

Decider

Despite the broad strokes, five episodes sounds just about right for this series.

CNN

"Halston" doesn't merit the kind of adulation that its namesake craved, but strictly in terms of garnering attention, combining a marquee star with juicy material is one of those things that never goes out of style.

Vanity Fair

What makes the whole thing work, start to finish, is McGregor’s huge, bizarre, involved, and inspired turn as Halston.

RogerEbert.com

This compelling epic about ego that embeds you in his world of brilliant designs and self-sabotage. It doesn’t hurt that it has a career-best performance from Ewan McGregor as its center.

Hollywood Reporter

The series is littered with incidents that seem like they could be focal events if only Halston had focus, or structuring devices if only the show had structure.

Halston is glossy and occasionally captivating, and the costumes and production design are gorgeous to look at, and for some viewers, that’ll be enough.
