Season 2 Review:
The explosive extract (published in Esquire magazine) is dealt with in the opener, which, looking ahead, leaves seven meandering, woozy episodes of set pieces, time-hopping, failed rapprochements, a somewhat overplayed motif (cue a mystical swan gliding around in a bathtub).

Season 2 Review:
Ryan Murphy’s second go at famous feuds focuses on Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) the literary gadfly who befriends and betrays 1960’s socialites he calls swans. The series veers from delicious to depressing, but Emmys please for Hollander and chief swan Naomi Watts.

Season 2 Review:
The show delivers on the cattiness and the glamor and the factoids, like that Capote served everyone spaghetti and chicken hash alongside the champagne. But it misses a deeper insight into why Capote’s guest list was so revolutionary or how ’60s society was shifting as it happened. Feud chooses easier themes.

Season 2 Review:
Unlike Capote himself, Capote vs. The Swans is happy just to observe this world without engaging in much by way of conversation. It’s easy to tell that everybody in the show finds what’s happening to be very important. Efforts to invest from the outside are more difficult.

Season 1 Review:
The rise of the new TV anthology, in which the unit of measure is the season rather than the episode, could encourage filmmakers to pore over the cultural history of Hollywood in granular detail. Murphy’s Feud deserves credit for getting there first, but that’s about it.
