Check out Zelda for the beautiful scenes along the North Shore but don't expect an especially compelling portrait to match.

The show definitely has potential, but aside from detailed visuals and Christina Ricci's superb acting, it hasn't lived up to it yet.
February 01, 2017
A frustratingly limp series that squanders its source material.

Zelda was a complicated woman, and Ricci definitely has the chops to play that. But the show never really lets her breathe into that realness.

The drawl is super lazy, and, too often, so is the writing on this half-hour drama.
January 30, 2017
The show is nearly as dull or cringe-inducing as it is engaging and insightful.

In spite of Z's flaws, I couldn't look away from Ricci's portrayal of Zelda as a woman trapped by her own desire to make others believe that her life is exactly what she wants it to be.

It's Zelda's story all right, but the problem with the way Z is going about portraying her life, she's more spoiled princess than jazz-era legend.
