Reviews
The Failing New York Times: "Feud is big and broad, but it has a nuanced sense of how its characters internalize the values that work against them."
The Washington Post: "After a screening of Bette and Joan for critics at a theater in January, I tweeted that I couldnt speak for everyone but that I personally came away from it feeling 19 percent gayer."
Variety: "Feud has a handle on the spectacular, with its A-list performers and curiosity about the underbelly of silver-screen glamour. But ... it feels like a cheaper, smaller version of cinematic glory."
The Hollywood Reporter: "the ample pleasures of watching four Oscar-winning actresses and a slew of other stars backstab, conspire and strive for excellence should make Feud: Bette and Joan another success for Ryan Murphy"
Vulture: "Feud fails to do either its actors or its subjects justice, and there are so many anachronisms and unbelievable moments that your eyes might ache from rolling."
The Atlantic: "Its deft and satisfying first few episodes should please both the voyeurs and the feminists, and more importantly highlight how the two groups can overlap."
