Season 1 Review:
Together, Pigeon and Kelly have fantastic chemistry. .... Yet, it’s not the central pair who deliver the show’s most captivating performances: it’s the women who surround John F. Kennedy Jr. who take the cake as this series’ most interesting players. .... Nothing about this series feels cheap.

Season 1 Review:
Kelly and Pidgeon’s chemistry is stronger as adversaries than as lovers, and both are excellent in later episodes at conveying a marriage cracking under the pressures of its own myth. But the show seems unclear about what sort of message it’s meant to convey about the couple at its center, leaving one of history’s most talked-about relationships as elusive and unknowable here as it was in life.

Season 1 Review:
If Hines and his collaborators had been daring enough to turn their own cameras more frequently on Carolyn and less on John, perhaps we could have truly felt what it was like to be in Carolyn's head, a place Pidgeon does her level best to center us, when her sense of normalcy imploded. Love Story gives us a sense of what that might have looked like, but it can't make us understand how it really felt.

Season 1 Review:
“Love Story” can’t capture John and Carolyn’s relationship with any flesh-and-blood humanity. It worships at the altar of reenactment, so when it’s time to depict the happenings that haven’t been splashed across the New York Post, the dolls don’t know what to do. Their performers don’t exactly liven things up.

Season 1 Review:
Ultimately, it is Pidgeon’s Bessette that stays with you, because she feels like an invention, an injection of an idea and a rejection of the sphinx one. .... Kelly is much too recalcitrant or reverent of an actor to get at the root of Kennedy’s sexual appeal, his swagger, but at least he does look the part. The acting mandate was evidently to go puppy. There should be more grit in the story, which is too rhythmically indebted to the swoon beats of “Bridgerton.”

Season 1 Review:
Bessette is played by Sarah Pidgeon, managing to do a lot with – script-wise – very little. Kennedy is played by Paul Anthony Kelly, a model in his first major role, who may get the idea eventually. .... Add to this two truly painful performances/vocal impressions – by Naomi Watts as Jackie Onassis, and Dree Hemingway as Hannah.
