Reviews

Sophie Gilbert
The Atlantic
In Cooke, this Vanity Fair has an actor who revels in Becky's scheming and her ambition.

Softening Becky's edges and defanging the story's satire, Amazon offers a self-contradictory miniseries without much of a point.

Kristen Baldwin
Entertainment Weekly
Cooke does an admirable job making the cold-hearted, quick-witted Becky entertainingly unlikable; if only the production didn't require her to break the fourth wall with periodic smirks to the camera.
