Shangri-La is a four-part television documentary miniseries, directed by Morgan Neville and Jeff Malmberg, that aired on Showtime from July 12 to August 2, 2019.
The website's consensus reads: "A refreshingly chill music documentary, Shangri-La provides an insightful -- if not exactly revelatory -- peak [sic] into the private world of producer Rick Rubin.
"[8] According to Metacritic, which assigned a weighted average score of 73 out of 100 based on 9 critics, the series received "generally favorable" reviews.
"[10] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called the miniseries "inspiring and oddly riveting" and said, "There is more creativity, weirdness, thoughtfulness and ambition — both achieved and failed — in the new Showtime docuseries Shangri-La than in a good portion of recent TV dramas."
Goodman also felt, however, that series should have got "a little dirtier and messier in the examination" of Rubin's mid-career years.
