Watching multiple episodes of Feud makes it clear that it's a solid two-hour movie stretched to an eight-episode series, not due to depth but redundancy. There are elements here that work, but also moments that feel downright mean-spirited.
-
Feud is not nearly campy enough.
-
Lange is always interesting, but she’s only occasionally convincing here as Crawford. The voice is too high, for one thing. Sarandon fares better, as much good as that does with such a lousy script.
-
There’s a juicy, entertaining and still-timely Hollywood story hidden under the show’s typically Murphian excesses.
-
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.
-
Feud is ultimately caught in an awkward limbo--neither as brilliantly campy and hateful as “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” or as contextualizing and profound as “People v. O.J. Simpson.” Instead, it is primarily too long.
