Critic Reviews of "Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker - Season 1"
CNN.comMarch 20, 2020A solid but unspectacular effort, more interesting finally for its subject matter than its execution. Walker's life is, clearly, a story worth telling, and as basically a longish movie split into four chapters, it's a reasonably concise package.
New York TimesMarch 20, 2020What it doesn't do, across four episodes and 190 minutes, is give a very strong idea of who Walker was or how she accomplished what she did.
Hollywood ReporterMarch 20, 2020Too often, Self-Made feels like a portrait of an insurrectionist standing in a white void.
Los Angeles TimesMarch 20, 2020Spencer's performance is dazzling. The role of pioneer comes naturally to her, and her character shows the scars of what it means to be a successful woman in a community and era where there were few.
GuardianMarch 20, 2020It's ultimately, thankfully, Spencer's show and she's in supreme command, selling every second of Walker's story as well as convincing us, and hopefully any director that's watching, that she deserves more time in the spotlight.
VarietyMarch 18, 2020Its reverence towards Walker isn't matched by stodgy storytelling; it finds in moments a briskness and charge that might elude a more straightforwardly told period drama.
AwardsWatchMarch 18, 2020Self Made will introduce a new generation to this remarkable woman which is the advantage of this series; however, the disadvantage is that the audience will only get a glimpse into Madam C.J Walker instead of a full vibrant picture.
TV GuideMarch 18, 2020As a piece of scholastic infotainment, the series has tons of merit. But as a piece of prestige television, it falls short.
Black Nerd ProblemsMarch 20, 2020Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker is uplifting, fun, and relevant.
DeciderMarch 20, 2020Standout performances by Spencer, Ejogo and more make Self Made a pleasurable watch.
