Despite some stylistic touches that sometimes distract, The Andy Warhol Diaries is a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the 20th century’s most famous figures, a person who had no intention of letting anyone but his closest friends and family see his real self.
That private side is the focus of the sprawling, brilliantly executed Netflix docuseries The Andy Warhol Diaries.

He is revealed here as brittle and insecure in a personal life defined by three key relationships: the series gives over a whole episode each to Warhol’s lovers, Jed Johnson and Jon Gould, and to his friend and collaborator Jean-Michel Basquiat.
“The Andy Warhol Diaries,” executive produced by Ryan Murphy, builds, over six well-structured episodes, a sense of its subject as intelligent, but alienated from his feelings and even from his own talent.
In its current form, The Andy Warhol Diaries is maybe a little sloppy and maybe paints a little outside the lines. It’s a smart and suitable approach.
Bottom line, if you love or are fascinated by the work of Andy Warhol, you’ll be delighted by “The Andy Warhol Diaries.” If you’re not in that category, you can watch it, anyway, but keep the remote control nearby. A little fast-forward wouldn’t hurt, and it might help.
Andy Warhol was such a distinctive figure -- cutting across the worlds of art, media and pop culture -- that a docuseries about his life could hardly be boring, and "The Andy Warhol Diaries" isn't. But this six-part Netflix production does unfold at a languid, almost-hypnotic pace, while employing AI technology to create Warhol's voice reading his words from the great beyond, which is as oddly creepy as that sounds.
