The Art Of More does a captivating job of offering access to this secretive, exclusive, and corrupt world. Read full review

Rivalries between Graham and fellow auction-house exec Roxanna (Kate Bosworth) generate suspense and it's fun to learn the history behind auction items. [20/27 Nov 2015, p.103] Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

As the series proceeds, the scheming, criminality and even bloodshed that swirl around many of these objects and their acquisition becomes a mounting weight atop Graham and Roxanna in particular. Seeing the bad karma pile on is what makes The Art of More difficult to stop watching. Read full review

The story lines never rise above network level, with a cast of one-note characters whose motivations, beyond greed, are left unplumbed. Quaid’s crude billionaire is paper thin, and so is another collector, an aristocratic Brit played by Cary Elwes. Read full review

Meanwhile, there’s Bosworth, throwing glacial glares and selling her soul to impress her father and compete with upstart Connor, giving a beautifully restrained, imminently watchable performance that conveys depths with very little. Too bad there’s not more of her and less of everything else. Read full review

The characters manage to get themselves into a lot of trouble, and the show is genuinely suspenseful at times, as shows will be when guns start to wave. But it's hard to care, even after having seen six out of 10 episodes, about anyone's fate. Neither their tales of early or current sorrows nor their displays of aesthetic sensibility nor even their expressions of shame quite balance out the fact that most are kind of bad people, mostly out for themselves.

Any points the 10-episode The Art of More scores for its novel setting--an auction house where unscrupulous dealers vie for priceless collections and deep-pocketed clients--are tarnished by the dramatic fraud the show perpetrates with its paper-thin characters. [9-22 Nov 2015, p.13]

Great stuff here- after ep3 I was hooked. I watched the entire show... loved the historical aspect of the show. Please be aware this is for the sophisticated viewer. If you want something like Entourage please look elsewhere.

We have entered an era of television where every channel -- and every Website -- has original content. Crackle is trying to make its mark with "The Art of More," a thriller set in the art world.

Crackle is trying to make its mark with "The Art of More," a thriller set in the art world. "Thriller" is a bit of a misleading statement. There was nothing thrilling about the pilot. We've seen plenty of shows and movies about a scrappy up and comer from the wrong side of the tracks trying to make it in a world where he's an outsider. That's the basic bones for this series. Then you have Cary Elwes playing a smarmy collector, Kate Bosworth playing a rival broker, and Dennis Quaid playing a rich cad. These aren't characters, they're archetypes. The pilot was fine, but not overly compelling. And in a saturated market, when you're an original series on crackle, it takes more than that.… Expand
