Have you watched Hollywood on Netflix? What did you think? Let us know your thoughts below!

Jim Parsons had the best performance in my opinion. The acting was on point even though i despised his character

[scottsummers]

Hated Jim Parsons in the show but my God what a performance. He should get an Emmy nomination next year.

I wish Netflix would actually release Meg.

Also the first interracial kiss wasn't until 1968 in Star Trek between Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) and Captain Kirk (William Shatner). It is said that Martin Luther King Jr actually approached Nichols telling her how much he enjoyed the show. At the time Nichols was considering quitting Star Trek. “You must not leave, ” King told her. “You have opened a door that must not be allowed to close…you changed the face of television forever…For the first time, the world sees us as we should be seen, as equals, as intelligent people.”

This show is a feel good show that makes you believe that everything is great and the world isn't 100% a piece of trash. we need more shows like this.

Legit, in the trailer for Hollywood said; "Imagine if you could change history", so it's not taking creative liberties, it said right off the bat it was fiction, so... :')

Such series should exist only to remind us how horrible and backward the society is in reality, both historically and contemporarily. Entertain briefly but do not fascinate profoundly of the “what if” scenarios, and definitely do not let it numb ourselves of the struggle yet to come, especially in the current overwhelming rightist mentality dominated world.

I want to be the first girl/woman of Asian descent to win Best Supporting and Lead Actress. That would be so cool

[terrybrienesse]

I loved this show. All the actors and characters they played even though most were fictional was so well done. GREAT JOB ALL

[hbzzghe]

To the people who complain that it’s not ‘historically accurate’, That’s the point. It’s about “what if...?”
What would have happened if 1940’s Hollywood HAD been hiring people and making movies in a more inclusive manner? It’s an alternative history

[sisterhazel]

What about Tallulah Bankhead?! That was true ; she was sexually free and bisexual.

[jameswallwork]

I thought it was really good and the actors were fantastic but it also, made me sad and annoyed though thinking about what the real life people had to deal with on a daily basis.

[codyhiginbotham]

As a filmmaker myself, I loved every part of this series. The acting was great, especially Jim Parsons

[roycerowland]

I love the show and Patti Lupone is going to be nominated for an Emmy I can guarantee it.

[musicaltheatergeek]

Also, Rock Hudson never dated a black man; he was mainly into white, blonde men. For example, Lee Garlington.

[scashion]

I swear ryan murphy just reuses the same people in all his shows....or just darren

[samiheylol]

This show was literally one of the best shows i’ve ever watched. Amazing

[marcosnonato]

DC Comics has these types of stories called "elseworld", wondering things like: What if Bruce Wayne were chosen by the Green Lantern ring or if Superman's ship had crashed in the USSR during the cold war. This series seemed to me an Elseworld of our reality.

The Netflix movie Hollywood was pretty good. Jeremy Pope who played the character Archie did an Awesome job!!!!
