For a longtime admirer of Bette Davis such as myself, a show about her time working with another cinematic icon like Joan Crawford on the set of a cornerstone of American cinema like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? was a cannot-miss.Additionally, the two icons were played by the always great Susan Sarandon and my beloved Jessica Lange respectively, compounding the must-see elements.
And that's only the top billing! The cast includes Judy Davis, Jackie Hoffman, Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dominic Burgess, Kathy Bates, John Waters, Sarah Paulson, and Dylan Wittrock!
The production values, this being a Ryan Murphy creation, are incredible too. The costumes, the sets, the cinematography, the makeup... everything is top notch and wholly encompassing, making you feel like you're in the late 50s-early 60s era.
Feud is meant to be an anthology series à la American Horror Story, but for now there are no plans for a second season. That's too bad; I pined to see whose feud Murphy might have decided to tackle next...
