What people are saying
Updated nightlyAmerican Masters is the PBS biography series Susan Lacy built over 41 seasons, profiling writers, musicians, artists, and filmmakers who shaped American culture. People mostly love it, especially when it gets close to figures like Mary Oliver, Hazel Scott, Hannah Arendt, and Roberta Flack, whose episodes land as moving and revealing. The storytelling is the big strength, and visuals get strong praise too. Where it loses some folks is originality and occasional pacing, with a few episodes feeling more dutiful than urgent. Still, it’s a worthwhile watch for the portraits, not a show people are bailing on.
