As Gwen Verdon, Michelle Williams is very nearly perfect; she nails Verdon's look, her vocal affectations, her way of moving; her conflictedness and loyalty, her frustration and codependency. It's a stellar performance.

Fosse/Verdon never loses sight of its goal - capturing the love and frustrations of two talented people who could never let each other go.

There's a lot of meaning packed into that brisk title. Fosse/Verdon is about a partnership, one that, over the course of three decades completely reinvented musical theatre and film.

In "Fosse/Verdon," [Williams and Rockwell] inhabit their roles completely and convincingly.

At it's core, it is about a relationship between two supremely talented but also deeply troubled performers. And that narrative wisely explores the connections between power and sexuality, neuroses and need, work and careers, lust and love.

Rockwell is fully invested in a role that challenges him well beyond the semi-caricature he played in Vice. Self-assured and brusque when calling the shots, he's otherwise an emotional adolescent, or sometimes an infant.

"Fosse/Verdon" is a claustrophobic series as opposed to an epic one. What's mostly missing is the thrill of opening night, the chorus line, the music, the whole glorious space of the theater.

Any quibbles one might have with this season fly away when the dancing begins.

Fosse/Verdon is extremely watchable and totally fascinating. I enjoyed almost every minute...

Scenes play out as if viewers are seeing them from inside the director's head, experiencing the swings between his hyperego and his crashing insecurity... These moments are ingenious, and they bring a vibrant theatricality to the series.
