‘Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette’: 51 Thoughts I Had About Episode 4 of the Series

Look, I’m happy to admit that Ryan Murphy did his big thing love story, FX’s biographical romance anthology series stars Paul Anthony Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. and the great Sarah Pidgeon as the one and only Caroline Bassett Kennedy.

On paper – I find Murphy’s point interesting, psychologically speaking american story Critically speaking, the projects (which tend to be less fantastical, chaotic and/or baroque than his other shows) are those that tend to pop up; in a 2018 interview new yorkerEmily Nussbaum Murphy calls his hit show American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson “It was a restricted experiment, and this is the side of me that critics like best – when I like the side of me At least“. Of course, there’s a lot to think about… but I was too engrossed in the saga of John John and Caroline – as interpreted by Murphy, creator Connor Hines, and the rest of the show’s team – to dwell on it. Below, absolutely all my thoughts on Season 1, Episode 4 love storyTitled “I Love You”:

1. Stealing the Calvin Klein Obsession ad starring Kate Moss? What do these crazy girls want to do?
2. Honestly, CBK is often portrayed as an untouchable, ultra-minimalist, perfect pop culture character, and I cherish these little moments when she’s having fun.
3. I like that the appropriate way to greet JFK Jr. is “Who are you with?”
4. What a slut (free).
5. Not Calvin Klein slandering gays! Shouldn’t he know better than everyone else?
6. Oh, this is soon Between Caroline and John.

28. “What happened to that movie star he left to leave you?” Cruel, Caroline’s mom!
29. If I remember correctly who played it? EntourageConstance Zimmer!
30. I’m frustrated with the frost between Caroline and Caroline, who by the law of similar names are supposed to be good friends.
31. I feel like Caroline’s outburst was a subtle attempt at respect, but girl, just be yourself! Your wild golden mane is part of you!
32. The phrase “my people” didn’t really enter the conversational zeitgeist in the mid-90s, did it?
33. I love that Kelly Klein lives for drama.
34. Ah, to be a handsome, square-faced white guy playing sports in Central Park.
35. Now I think back to when I was walking in the park with my best friend in high school and someone accidentally hit her in the head with a football, and I worry that I’m laughing.
36. Dude, why do you listen to these bullshit anonymous letters about Caroline when she’s so beautiful and kind?
37. I mean, king, what have you done? think Would her reaction be “Hey, someone slipped a letter in my bag saying what a conniving drug-addled slut you are”? Of course she’s leaving!
