The Audacity is the story of Silicon Valley as it is: ridiculous and terrifying. Since no one tries to stop them, the tech overlords will stop at nothing to control what you see, buy, vote for, believe. AI and data are their tools as they pursue humanity into a corner. But they, too, are human, to their frustration, and face the same problems of love, family, ambition, and greed as the rest of us. Only a billion times more than us. A manic tech CEO and his ethics-damaged therapist guide us through the Valley's madness and failings.

Bitter, brutal, depressing.

The cast is very good and the dialogue good enough, but because few of these characters are developed beyond a handful of identifying characteristics, it’s a generally cold, dispassionate watch.

The series can be unwieldy in scope, slow to unveil its endgame and uneven in its character development. Still, these are minor faults compared to an enjoyably harsh yet perceptive look at the psychology of Silicon Valley elites.

8/10

The tech world melodrama is both incredibly insightful and a genuine joy to watch. Magnussen finally gets the role he earned a long time ago.

6/10

I will never tire of seeing terrible people get what they deserve, but it’s more enjoyable when you don’t see what’s coming before it happens. The Audacity has a great title and is on the cusp of living up to it, but it may not deliver until season two.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

“The Audacity” brings to mind “Succession” because both shows feature characters that are deeply flawed in the most darkly humorous ways possible. Already renewed for a second season, “The Audacity” is a show to keep an eye on.

Honestly not sure how I feel about this one yet. While I was a huge fan of Succession, this one after two episodes is a little hard to get into but I’ll keep trying.

Really wanted to like this series . . . it has all the right ingredients but will wait a week and see if they can gel.
