Feud (2017–2024)
8/10
Bette vs Joan is great, the Swans is a mixed bag

How the heck are we supposed to rate this series? It's an anthology where each season has nothing to do with the last other than the general theme of feuding.

S1 is about Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. It's a total hoot! Olivia DeHavilland sued over how she was portrayed (cmon it wasn't that bad) so for a long time it was hard to access but I finally bought it from Amazon. It's on Hulu now. Watch it, you won't be disappointed. Sorry, Liv.

S2 is about Truman Capote and some high society gal pals. It's got to be the best execution of the worst premise I've ever seen. Capote publishes a tell-all and the gals freeze him out. He mopes, drinks too much, gets beat up by his creep boyfriend, etc. The gals act snobby and say b*tchy things at lunch. Repeat ad nauseum.

Stop before you get to the black and white episode about the black and white ball and then jump to the final two episodes, which are the best of the season. Life is too short to bother with boring stories, even if they do feature excellent acting performances.
