What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this one, with as many finding it dull as finding it compelling. It's a classic Sorkin walk-and-talk, with Mikey Madison's Frances Haugen and Jeremy Allen White's reporter Jeff Horwitz teaming up to expose Facebook's secrets, but the story feels derivative and the pacing drags. The cast is the clear highlight, with Madison and White getting solid praise, and Jeremy Strong's take on Mark Zuckerberg is a big point of contention, mostly landing as an awkward impression. Bill Burr also gets a few laughs. Ultimately, it's seen as a lesser, unoriginal retread of ground "The Social Network" covered much better.
