The TVI Take
Joe Barton (Black Doves) adapts Peter Shaffer's play across five Starz hours, with Will Sharpe as a febrile Mozart and Paul Bettany as the corroded-by-envy Salieri. The series visualizes the operas as production numbers and lets the rivalry play out across courts in Vienna; what it cannot escape is the 1984 Forman film, which compressed the same material into the form many audiences remember as definitive.
Critics rated 88% on RT against a 36% audience score, a measurable gap that captures the work's craft-over-narrative-novelty position.
