Review: Netflix's 'Andy Warhol Diaries' a full portrait of pop art icon

Andy Warhol had only been dead for two years when Warner books published "The Andy Warhol Diaries" in 1989.

It was a memoir that the Pittsburgh native and pop art legend dictated to his close friend and confidante, Pat Hackett, that served as a running monologue of what he was thinking and feeling during the last decade-plus of his life.

Thirty-three years after his memoir was made public, Netflix is taking that concept to a new level with its own version of "The Andy Warhol Diaries." The six-episode docuseries premiered Wednesday and takes a long, hard look at Warhol's life from his Pittsburgh roots all the way up to his 1987 death at age 58 due to cardiac arrhythmia after gallbladder surgery.
