I binged the entire series today, and really enjoyed it. Although Ryan took a lot of creative license, and depiction was captivating, Patti a standout, and Dylan helluva Daddy sexy.... Parsons, despite being vapid was a great example of the lecherous casting couch.
The only puzzling depiction was Rock Hudson, and I failed to understand why Ryan chose to make him a dumb country bumpkin and horrible actor ? He wasn't the best actor, but his depiction was the biggest stretch for me. Nonetheless, 2 thumbs up !
