It's a breath of fresh television air.
June 27, 2014
McKellen turns out to be the show's not-so-secret weapon. A great actor playing a mediocre one, he's somehow entirely convincing in the part and particularly adept at delivering Janetti's acid-tongued putdowns and sarcastic asides.
July 08, 2014
Couple's relationship is groundbreaking, but jokes aren't.
June 25, 2014
Leave your politically correct concerns on the doorstep, sit back, and let the venom wash over you like a sleet storm. McKellen and Jacobi, who are, of course, giants of their profession, are clearly having a lark with Vicious.
June 27, 2014
The show is, essentially, three dated, clichéd jokes told over and over again.
June 27, 2014
Vicious is an apotheosis of the form: Its theatricality is expert, its rote insult comedy is delicious but not unyielding, and its unhip datedness is mined for exactly that quality.
June 27, 2014
Vicious is a creepy, in style and attitude, retro serving of tea and hostility that's unworthy of the talents on board.
July 01, 2014
As a jazz musician might do something lovely even with a banal melody, McKellen and Jacobi - baritone to tenor - make beautiful, dissonant music together.
June 30, 2014
Mr. McKellen and Mr. Jacobi attack their roles with gusto; they ensure that Vicious is a fun, farcical throwback.
June 27, 2014
Line-for-line, Vicious would seem depressingly outdated and especially boring if delivered with American accents; but it somehow takes on a whiff of Oscar Wilde-like charm simply because it's British.
