Z: The Beginning of Everything

Really sad to read that the show season 2 has been cancelled. Really angry with Amazon production company or whoever it was who put an end to it.

Ricci's southern accent was too forced, Scott surely had more depth than character revealed...but the story was entertaining and I'm frustrated to learn today that it was cancelled after 10 episodes.

I am so saddened to see that this show was cancelled. Loved every episode.

That MUST be why this excellent series is gone(?)...

The Jazz Age Fitzgeralds were such lightning in a bottle, that to try and capture it is audacious: we know the champagne will pour and the fame will come, and the real pain will come with the hangovers and end in despair for the both of them. But the controversial choice of Christina Ricci as Jazz Baby Number One instead of any other McAdams Barbie doll from the Hollywood shelf gives this pilot a bounce and possibility because she is such a hellcat.

Gives what could possibly be an accurate portrait of Zelda and events living with F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I cannot believe the negative reviews for this series! I am extremely interested in the Jazz Age/Flapper/Prohibition era as well as the Fitzgeralds who were true embodiments of this time period.

I recently read the book as recommendation from a friend, with the intent of binge watching an entire series about the book. I was beyond disappointed to learn that there was only one season.

This film is adapted from a novelised version of the Scott and Zelda story, seen from Zelda's angle for once - much in line with Nina Ricci's own feminist agenda, as she has explained to the media at some length.It sheds an unflattering light on Scott, deservedly enough, because he was indeed an immature and incomplete character, whose drinking shocked even Hemingway.
