      86% Tomatometer 69 Reviews 80% Audience Score 500+ Ratings Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott, whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes.

      Wenlei Ma PerthNow A solid, prestige drama with a fantastic central performance. Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) One big advantage is that it’s extremely and expensively beautiful in a Mad Men sort of way. Another is Larsen, who can always own a screen, even when her character notes seem to be mainly “she frowns a lot”. Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Ultimately everything feels just a little bit too polished. That’s not a bad thing, but it won’t rock your world: it’s a tasty enough treat, but unlike Elizabeth’s cooking, it’s a little underdone. Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Donal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Imagine you crossed Mad Men with a Julia Child series and you have something of the flavour of this series. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Will Slater Scotsman Realistic and edgy? Nope. Entertaining and touching? Yes. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Enter the world of “Lessons in Chemistry” without expectations and enjoy the ride for the interesting story it is on its own. Oh…and read the book. It’s a pleasure not to be missed. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

      Andrei D A little too melodramatic in the final two episodes Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Daniel P Simplemente espectacular, una serie llena de dramatismo y un poco de humor oscuro, altamente recomendada. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Nathan M I can only watch Brie Larson's expressionless and monotone delivery for so long. And Captain Marvel was enough. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review John Y Expectations were not very high and this series crushed them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Michael E It’s captivating, well paced and well acted. I love the little plot surprises and the shocks are gut wrenching. I’m half way through season 1 and I’m hooked. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Marty G A coworker watches this, and it just reminds me how little range Brie Larson has. Boring and not funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
