His choice of 'feuds' after that was questionable, and less memorable, at best. Capote and The Swans may be entertaining, but does anyone under the age of 70 know who these people are without Googling them ? There are so many other 'feuds' he could play out. + Pensant and Marc in Calif 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Ann Landers did not want her column continued, so her daughter started a column of her own. Hilariously, like their long-feuding, advice-giving twin-sister mothers, the advice-giving cousins also allegedly feuded for years. pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ BenjaminNicholas Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'm happy to report that other than stamping his name on it, Ryan Murphy is doing almost no writing and zero directing for this Feud. I've come to dislike a lot of what he is fully hands-on with. He's the kind of one great season and a ton of shlock subsequent seasons. + Cash4Trash and scrtlovr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Snbrd Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Does anyone know if Hulu will run fewer commercials than FX? When The Feud initially ran on FX there were too many commercials. I guess cable and streaming have spoiled some of us. I watched it later on a streaming service and it was much more pleasurable without the commercial interruptions.

+ g56whiz Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 So in episode 1 (which I just finished) Truman Capote, towel clad, swishes drunkenly down the stairs into a steam room. And who should he espy? The only other towel clad occupant: Russell Tovey [SWOON}. R rated amusement follows. I may actually have to watch this thing. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say - this is better than I thought it would be. The cast is incredible (especially Hollander, Watts and Lane), the directing fast-paced, and the writing is great (except for a few obvious falsehoods they presented as 'facts' - such as Capote referencing '60 Minutes' to Bill Palley when he first meets him in 1955 - '60 Minutes' didn't come on the air until '68; one of the characters saying 'she flew in on the Concorde from London to NY' in 1975 - the Concorde wasn't available until 1979). thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Gator Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Last night's episode covered Capote's famous 'Black and White Ball' from 1966. Of course, the writers took many liberties with the events which occurred that evening, but what an enjoyable episode.

Is there a list somewhere of the people invited Know that Mary Martin and her husband were there. Assume Ethel Merman was invited as well (but without Ernie Borgnine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ BenjaminNicholas Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 This particular series works well because it doesn't have the depressive and self-loathing edge that Ryan Murphy brings to all of his writing. So far, it's sharply written with a stellar cast. thomas and pubic_assistance 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeThomas Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Just finished episode 2. There is absolutely nothing to like about Capote. A nasty, horrid, little man. Can’t imagine why Jack Dunphy was with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
