Being the Ricardos synopsis

The Amazon Original Movie is a biographical movie set in 1952. You know Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. The two were a power couple in 1950s Hollywood and starred together on the hit TV series I Love Lucy.

However, their romance wasn’t always one of passion and love. There were a lot of problems within their marriage, and they did face a crisis that threatened both of their careers and their hit TV series.

This movie looks into the crisis. It’s a chance to go behind the scenes to see how everyone dealt with it. After all, the writers had to figure out a way to protect the show they worked on, while Lucille had to work her butt off to make sure she wasn’t thrown to one side. That’s what would have happened at that time, despite her being the big star.

Kidman certainly captures Lucille Ball perfectly. She becomes the leading lady. And there is an outstanding cast to join her. It has a 72% score on Rotten Tomatoes right now, so what are you waiting for? Now is the time to watch it.

Being the Ricardos is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
