Netflix’s Hollywood is a fantastic series that keeps you guessing throughout its entire 7 episode run. However, many audience members couldn’t help but feel like the payoff to all that build up is a bit lacking. But why? Why aren’t some people happy with the ending?
See, Hollywood gives us a look at the glitz and glam of the golden age of the movie business, only significantly more gritty than we are used to. This is the show’s major selling point. Taking something that is often presented to us in a clean, largely wholesome way, and giving it to us raw and unfiltered.
Which is why the sort of sudden tone change at the end, might have left people with a bad taste in their mouth.
Now, before I dive into what exactly I mean, I’m gonna slap up here a spoiler warning, since I am going to be talking about the end of the show here. I’d highly recommend checking out the show before you watch this video. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Ok, now let’s get into exactly what I mean here.

They explain in the plot why it ended the way it did. They say the Meg can’t die because that will tell all the little girls of color that there’s no point in trying. So they follow their own plot and every POC and gay person gets their happy ending.
i agree! the show mirrors Meg
As I see it, the happy ending was the series' way of suggesting an "if only" scenario. After showing us the darker side of Hollywood at that time (that was all too real), the show offers us an alternative outcome for the industry, and world, if only a few people had chosen to do the right thing, sooner. We have the progress today, sure, but "Hollywood" wants us to think about how much more quickly it could have been achieved, if only...
yea, reminds me of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in that sense
I binged the 7 episode series in one day, I loved it so much.
Yeah, it ended in a 'happily ever after' fairytale, but it was exactly what I needed in my life in the midst of the Covid-19 Coronavirus lock down here in Queensland Australia.
I agree wholeheartedly. As I said at the end of the video, sometimes, especially right now, we could use some positivity! :)
same. i finished it an hour ago and loved it!
I think we should have see the heart breaking true endings to what happened to these real people and used that to learn what not to do again. These are real people who had real struggles. Their story shouldn't be forgotten or watered down
I agree but this again was a fictional show and as Ryan Murphy said he wanted to give happy endings to those who unfortunately couldn’t get it
Why? Folks can google them or watch a documentary for that
Vonnie Stewart you can't just make a tv show about a historical figures, make it completely inaccurate and say "you shoulda googled it". It's like putting Martin Luther King in a show and making him a pedo, or putting Hitler in a show and making him a nice guy, completely unacceptable because it rewrites who they were in life. I think it would have been ok it fictional characters but not with real people
Parsons World I suppose he DID say it fictional, it took me half way through the season before I realised it wasn't real 😭 😂
Harry Sam ever hear of Inglourious Basterds? Alternate universe successful movie 🤷🏾♀️ this was wildly successful. Plenty of movies showing what COULD have happened, with real people involved that had other outcomes.
So what your saying is, they got the "Hollywood" ending!
Ha
The happy ending was great. Honestly as a poc myself, I was expecting the worse outcome because of the time period and what the show set up. To be surprised by a happy ending shows our own social conditioning to expect the worse in stories like these. While I understand the tone shift is a bit jarring, that truly seemed like the whole point of it all. You also have the bonus effect of people researching some of the real characters and realizing the harsh reality that so much still needs to change. There’s still so much we need to stand together and support.
You didn't expect the worse outcome because of conditioning but because you knew the facts. Having the show change that just to not hurt your fee-fees is patronizing and dishonest. In the end, all this does is say that the people making this think that people of color cannot handle the truth and need to be buttered up. All it shows is that these people think that you can't handle reality and need to be told that everything went well in the end. And you celebrate that these writers think that you are too weak and emotionally unstable to handle the truth. Congratulations POC, you played yourself.
@@EskChan19 Jesus man, own up to you're own thoughts instead of hiding behind "these people think..." It's pretty clear you hold that opinion or something similar to it.
Woah, @Randy19, that’s NOT what this STORY says when it gets a happy ending. I do not think the writing suggests a weakness in colored people’s perception of the world...how bout WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD, what’s wrong with a good story that happens to give ME and maybe some like me or similar a good feeling instead of the ones the real world often gives us....have a good day smh 🤦🏾♀️ (oh and the pic is me so yeah I’m a black woman)
Let’s all give randy a hug folks
Randy19 its not a documentary! Why NOT rewrite history in a fiction show? I mean did you think Pearl Harbor, etc were strict interpretations of historical happenings? Folks do alternate reality universes in film
There’s honestly a lot to be said about the series, but my biggest problem with it is that they gave a glamorized version of Hollywood showing how “easy making it” is. I’d love to see a more true version of someone not making it.
They were trying to make it a happy ending to encourage a second series
Nope. Its a limited series, they are set on ending with only one season
Ok then.
don't listen to me
@@n000ah00 thank god...
toby gillett Really? That’s a shame. I really enjoyed Hollywood. Was one of my favourites. I really enjoyed the story.
I binge watched the whole series with my husband, and I must say I was very confused with your affirmation that the series was so dark. From the beginning it felt to me that the story took a very realistic but hopeful approach to everything, not shying away from showing that things do have a dark side to them, but instead choosing to focus mostly on the small victories the characters had over those difficulties, which eventually grow into larger and larger victories for themselves and the world around them.
All that said, I'm no expert. One of the first thing I did say to my husband at around the midpoint of the season was "I love how realistic and humane the story feels (even if I now know it's not historically accurate), while not being overly dramatic and dark." So I still feel it reached a good balance between dark undertones and a hopeful theme of overcoming difficulties and changing the world as you do so.
i aint never heard of netflix hollywood
Happy ending in a film gives one smooth feelings to move on in real life.
I love happy ending film.
Sooo they showed the real world and then reminded you how every other production would make it in the overly happy endings? While giving people some hope and showing how it should've happened?
I'm gonna take it over La La Land and bullshit like that any day.
When are people ever not upset these days lol 😆
This show made me cry
So I haven’t seen this so far but what if the ending of “Meg” had been tweaked as well as the ending of the series. Have Meg decide to climb back down but instead get blown off the Hollywood sign. Have the movie be a successful box office hit that becomes a classic but gets snubbed at the awards show. Basically they create a masterpiece of a movie that shows life isn’t always perfect and they are recognized for it just not formally as that wouldn’t be “appropriate” for the time piece.
Keep watching 😄
Keeps me guessing? Gritty? 😂😂😂 Sounds like me writing an essay without going to class for context. 💀
I loved the ending! It was cathartic!
That actress looks like Margot Robbie 2.0
True she does!
I do often refer to Samara Weaving as Diet Margo Robbie :p
that’s what i was saying the entire time!
Ryan Murphy originally wanted the show to be set in the 60s, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to cast her as Sharon Tate.
I liked the show ✨
The happy ending was a typical hollywierd Retcon of history, to tell things as they would have us believe it to be.
I thought the ending was suggestive of courage and bravery... and that making an effort shine a light on truth can lead a change not only for the industry, but for the populace. It might have been a little polyannish... but I accepted the premise and therefore I was not upset with the turn.
Exactly.
I think that's a pretty solid read :)
Did anyone actually watch this show?
i did
Me too
Yup. It’s pretty decent
It was a show, I thought it was a movie.
I didn't even know it existed.
I loved the series! It was so awesome!
I actually liked the happy ending......that sounds way dirtier than intended.
The got the once upon a time in Hollywood ending. Borrowed idea.
I liked the ending. I just wish we would get a second season.
Peg was real, never knew that or even heard of her. But after watching Hollywood and find some of the actors were, I just wish the show was real just like HBO miniseries Kathryn The Great. Along with Meg being real and the cast gotten Oscar awards for it too.
Where are my fellow self promoters
This show works a lot with fantasy and that's why it ended the way it did spoiler alert Once upon a time in Hollywood ended the same way and that's why I liked it.
Oh I definitely thought one of them was gonna Peg Entwistle themselves
Fun fact Screen Rant actually plagiarizes the work of smaller content creators without giving proper credits. It is also worth noting that they have a series that identifies companies ripping off other companies, ironic.
Plz do a napoleon dynamite pitch meeting(I'm going to be commenting this everytime till I get it)
LA Confidential meets Hail Caesar would have been better than the fantasy we got.
I really love how they very gradually reduced the whole “white savior” thing. I’m sick of seeing older shows with white people defending minorities in everything. It’s good to see what if people back then were bold against discrimination like “Meg & Hudson”was in the last episode.
I don’t like that, the sudden change from the IRL ending of people who suffered dearly, at least without an in show acknowledgement about the unrealistic happy endings against extreme norms of sexism/racism/homophobia
The happy ending for the characters could be the message it was going for, like you said in the beginning, classic hollywood has always had a sqeaky clean image, to show the tragedy would ruin the image of the show, im assuming for seasons to come
The last of us pitch meeting." Would it be hard to make this video, actually no, it will be very easy, barley an inconvenience. Oh really. Ya ya ya."
I was unsure why they gave it a happier ending and falsely stated in many areas. Discrimination was so often happening in Hollywood then sadly
Point of this whole thing is that if you want a part or be a star you have to give something up even your dignity hence what’s happening today
For a new pitch meeting you should do hardcore Henry pretty please with sprinkles on top
I want to see this but I don't have Netflix so I'm here for the spoilers. I could see the show being a movie.
For the time unrealistic ending it showed of shown the real endings and find some hope in that in someway but nope fairytale ending
I bet they ripped this video off to lol
imagine stealing content from smaller youtubers
What did u expect it's netflix
This was a movie created for entertainment artfully acted and directed. For everything else we can always watch with the sad face the History channel.
Idk if I could have handled the actual ending, I got to attached
Me deciding I’m going to post before watching video 🤔🤔🤔
The ending was a little too good to be true vibe but I still like what the show is going with to view the opposite through the prejudices and oppression.
Do a Willy Wonka (the 2005 one) Pitch Meeting
Whatever I liked the ending
As did I! Some people however, didn't. So in this video I was trying to explain why that is.
"Hollywood" had a Hollywood ending. Why is anyone surprised or let down by this? The entire series was an alternate-reality scenario. Why not give it a typical (for the time) happy Hollywood ending just like the characters did with "Meg"?
Stop copying youtubers
It would have been better it it were 10 episodes too. I enjoyed the show up until that last episode, the Oscars scene-and I love watching awards shows- I was so bored. No way the all- white male Academy would have awarded Meg that much... & it was definitely a tone switch that was too abrupt. Anna Mae Wong should have won of course, but yeah right..5 Oscars? Now if we could have seen behind the scenes changes in the Academy that would be better. And believable.
i loved the ending.

Increase playback speed to 1.5x. You are welcome.
It’s garbage insulting revisionism - this shows message is that racism wouldn’t be an issue if individual people just stood up to it. It ignores how disgustingly racist Hollywood as an institution was in the 1940s. People should look up the reviews of this series from different publications it’s a horrible series. Film doesn’t change politics. People don’t all of a sudden realize something and change its moronic
Wait... these were the HAPPY endings?
Yes. At least compared to what happened to the people in reality
I think it was great
Could the problem be that it’s an SJW cash grab, and the first rule of SJW’s is they refuse to be appeased? I say this having watched the series and found it entertaining...even with the obvious political messaging being pushed on you.
Congrats on fulfilling the stereotype of the bitter, narrow minded MAGA type 👏
Never in my life have I ever saw a show with so many "happy" persons, pairs and "happy" $ex scenes.
I am a very tolerant man.
I understand inclusion.
But ALL the Netflix originals have "happy persons" in them(interrasial "happy" $ex) and it's ok, but Hollywood.....omfg they stuff this "happy" thing down our throat like no other !!!
In this show, 90% of the persons are "happy" !!!!
This show has 85% "happy" $ex scenes and 15% "non happy" $ex scenes.
This show and Netflix is trying to tell us that, today, "happy $ex" is normal and at every corner, and that heterosexual $ex is not normal and not at ever corner.
I don't know who makes these decisions at Netflix but this is fucked up.
Both are normal...and I couldn't care less...but when a TV show/movie etc tries to force a different reality down my throat, I have a problem !!!!
I liked the show a lot besides the 80% "happy" scenes.
Just say gay and get over it.
@@fabiofuoco It will automatically delete the comment.
In the end, all this shows us is that the makers of this series think that people of color and gay people cannot handle reality and need things to be sugarcoated for them. It shows us that they think that they need to protect people of color and gay people from history, because we can't risk letting any of their feelings get hurt. And that's just sad. And that people celebrate this and agree with them that we can't let PoC and LGBTQ people ever not feel like the world is a perfect box of chocolate is disgusting. It's patronizing and tells us exactly how weak the makers of this show think these people are.
I hated the first two episodes and quit watching.
I wish I had done that!
