      Anyone see this? Thoughts? Anyone planning on uploading it here? It counts as gay themed.

        And why do you think, this new anthology will count as gay themed?

            I have watched the Pilot episode and the 2 Oscar Best Actress Winners, Susan and Jessica gave a good performance portraying the role of another 2 Oscar Best Actress Winners, Bette and Joan.

            Don't get me wrong, I also would like this TV series to be shared in this site and my aforementioned question above is out of kindness, I know Bette and Joan are 2 gay icons, but we're talking about if there is any gay recurring subplot in this series to qualify it as LGBTQ themed.

                  Why does this keep getting nuked? It's gay-themed. It has a recurring gay character in it.

                    Yeah! Especially after tonights episode with Victor Buono.
                    There are two pointent scenes: Victor and Bette talking about the "queens" loving her and being a serious fan of her. And the second when Victor picks up a boy downtown.

                      I will say they are both acting it well.

                        The word "loads" is even uttered….and it refers to drinking loads of man cum.

                          i feel like the Ryan Murphy shows that use real life scenarios, such as this and Crime Story, hold a bit more water than Horror Story; don't get me wrong, i've loved a few seasons of horror story, and i keep watching for the: sets, actors, costumes and effects. Feud is no different.
                          Sarandon and Lange are doing a pretty good job, although, i do wish Lange looked more like Crawford and Sarandon sounded a bit more like Bette.
                          BD is an interesting addition, and i also love Mamacita. Judy Davis, amazing as always. the actor that plays Victor Buono is bang on.
                          Feud has done a pretty good job at highlighting a lot of the quirks of these two actresses, as well as old hollywood being on its last legs.

                          i've been a Bette Davis fan for years, and Feud was instantly one of my favourite books.
                          neither the Crawford or Davis estate weighed in on this show being made, and nobody from the OJ story contributed to Crime Story either. however, both stories, though with told with a Murphy slant, seem to be well done (especially at bringing everything to life aesthetically – without a doubt -- the writing, at times ...  eh).
                          The last episode, where both Davis & Crawford are having a drink, swapping war stories, felt like they were both reading from their respective wikipedia articles tbh.

                          mostly, i'm glad that these stories are being told, in whatever fashion, because they highlight spectacular moments in pop culture; the awe of the trial and the cultural implications; the way that women are represented and how that effects the mode of today -- at the very start of the womens lib movement. i do wonder what's next 🙂

                              Watched the 3rd episode and without giving much of the story, Bette has soft spot for gays and she loves it that she is a gay icon

                                The newest (last) episode managed to be even sadder than the others. Beautiful, but tragic.
