This is the official thread for Feud: Bette and Joan. There have been quite a few threads made about promotional projects and even personal reviews but to my knowledge there hasn't been an official one for people to comment on while the season progresses, so here it is. :gaycat:

I'm loving the show so far, I think its getting better with each episode. I do wish Susan would give it more attitude and Jessica to talk more like Joan and less like herself, I can't really see Jessica as Joan mostly bc of the voice. Maybe if she talked more delicately and smooth, bc her natural voice is pretty gravely

but other than that I love it, the show is making me slowly obsessed with Bette Davis

I have noticed that she seems to be doing a lot of mannerisms and such that she (Jessica) is known for, and not so much Joan, but I don't mind. 

I agree that it's getting better with each episode. :giveup:

I love it. :music:

Kinda wish we'd get to see a full Remake of 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' with Jessica and Susan, that'd be superb. Also living for Judy Davis. :giveup:

But I just realized the episode tonight is 5/8 which means it's already halfway through :noparty:

I feel like I'm the only one liking Joan Crawford more than Bette Davis :green:

I'm living for Judy too. :giveup: 

I'm not sure which I like more, Joan or Bette. Both have their moments. :giveup:

Finally got around to watching the most recent episode. :giveup: 

I loved it, as I have all of the episodes so far! Sarah Paulson's take on Geraldine Page was beautiful and also quite sad. :giveup: 

I loved that they gave more insight, or perhaps just a vision, to Joan's award acceptance campaign. It gave more depth and meaning behind Joan's decision to do it, other than a petty feud.

It also made Davis' loss seem quite more devastating than most would think.
