"Remains wonderfully grounded."

—

A.V. Club

"Dunst is perfect for the role..."

—

Boston Globe

"Reaches for mildly transgressive satire while neglecting to explore in any nuanced way what might draw people to devote their lives to a personality cult like FAM..."

—

The New York Times

"[Kirsten Dunst] sustains the series with a life-giving performance full of heart and, possibly more important, steel. The show is all hers."

—

Wall Street Journal

"Every bit as quirky as its title in mostly good ways..."

—

CNN

"Not everything about this series works, but everything about its lead performance does."

—

Vox

"Powered by Dunst's strong presence..."

—

Decider

"Dunst, not surprisingly, demonstrates a firm grip on this tale and its loopy tone..."

—

Salon

"Dunst pours her heart into [the role], turning Krystal into a sparkling, striving hustler."

"Mostly it works."

"Takes the seemingly unrelatable world of a company built on taking advantage of people and weds it to something we can all understand. And it does so with wit and charm."
