Ken C @KenCobb61 3h It's an enjoyable, romantic show. Beautiful to look at and very stylish, as all of Ryan Murphy's shows are. The way they filmed John and Carolyn together, with closeups on their faces, makes it seem very intimate. They did a great job of picking the main actors, they really look a lot like the real people. The big exception to that is Naomi Watts as Jacky; I looked at her and thought, is that supposed to be Jacky? The scenes at Kennedy family functions really drive home how difficult it would be for an outsider to fit in, and what a tough woman Carolyn had to be to take it. John comes across as well-meaning but forgetful and somewhat irresponsible. Overall they did a great job, but I think Sarah Pidgeon is the real standout as Carolyn.

We enjoy it so far but not exciting. See more Grace M @Monikamisiu 2d Enjoying seeing this. See more Steven R @Goldiebear 3d This movie is personal because I worked on 7th Avenue during this time and had many friends that worked at Calvin Klein. The details were spot on how the offices at Calvin looked with its stalk white and chocolate wood floors. Whenever I wanted to go to one of the shows my friend would always say....I have to check with Caroline. The actor that plays JFK Jr. is such an authentic heart throb that you can't take your eyes off of him. The tender, playful and sometimes turbulence of their relationship plays out as one of the most beautiful love stories captured on film. I did 5 episodes and one was better than the next. Can't wait for the wedding and unfortunately the tragic ending. See more Matt L @Mattliptak 4d A compelling limited series, Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette goes beyond a typical biopic. Sarah Pidgeon shines as Carolyn, bringing real depth to a woman overwhelmed by fame and constant media pressure, while Paul Anthony Kelly is pretty good in support, adding balance to the story. The series digs into lesser-known details behind the relationship, showing both the glamour and the strain. It also paints JFK Jr. in a less flattering light—at times coming across as wimpy and somewhat out of his depth—which adds a different perspective to the story. It doesn’t shy away from controversy either, with portrayals that may change how some figures are viewed. In the end, it’s a tragic love story told with emotion and perspective—well worth the watch.
