      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Dressed to the nines with not a whole lot of substance underneath, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld is a fun fashionista lark given some crucial pizzazz by Daniel Brühl.

      Camilla Long Times (UK) If you want to watch several hours of two designers flinging marble busts and demanding “quails’ eggs”, amid wild disco costumes — and, well, I do — then this is a scream. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review John Powers NPR Becoming Karl Lagerfeld feels urgent and alive -- like a present day story that happens to be set in the past. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Leila Latif Guardian For those who know nothing about this world of high-fashion and designer rivalries, it’s an accessible introduction, and you don’t need to know much beyond their names to take in all the gorgeous gowns and keep up with the acerbic wit. Rated: 4/5 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) If you like your fashion highfalutin, with occasional forays into silliness, this six-parter is for you. Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Ann Marie Hourihane Irish Independent Becoming Karl Lagerfeld sounds awful but it’s actually quite good. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Karen Gordon Original Cin It plays very much like a soap opera. Having said that, I will say that it benefits from great art direction, costume design and a terrific and very watchable cast. Rated: B Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

      Kittie Von H Great series!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Eberhard S Somewhat entertaining, and plenty of eye candy. But as a biopic, it largely concentrates on Lagerfeld’s (ever-unconsummated?) relationship with Jacques de Bascher, which frankly isn’t much of a varied plotline. As couturier, Lagerfeld is presented as more of a career-obsessed schemer than an innovative creative force. That’s an admissible standpoint but, again, does not really get one’s juices flowing. It’s well acted, no doubt, but especially Daniel Brühl seems stuck as the direction can’t really decide between serious drama or glossy soap opera. The series does not try to dig into what’s really special about the man it chooses to portray, so the experience remains frustrating. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Luz V Best fashion serie, Daniel Brühl is wonderful. waiting for season 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
