Why no comments on Capote vs. The Swans?

Sounds like you explained why. Plus it doesn't sound interesting.

I don’t have to like a character to be compelled by their story. Capote and the Swans are all awful people, but the scandals are juicy stuff, and the performances are excellent. And just because they’re awful doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. They do, and their pain is as real as anyone else’s.

It helps if you watch The Capote Tapes (also on Hulu).

There’s a documentary on free streaming sites about the Windsors (ex King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson) in which the real CZ Guest speaks about her friendship with them. Her topics are shallow, eye-rolling frippery, but fascinating because of how much she lacks self reflection, like she thinks the world values these unimportant details. But the truth is, the real story is how much these people value their expensive frippery — because that is ALL they have. What empty lives.

Btw, if you watch that documentary film, it’s called Edward on Edward.

It also has an alternate title, which is how I found it: Whatever Happened to the Windsors? You can watch it on Amazon Prime Video. Stream free on the Roku Channel

I gave it a shot. Couldn't get through the first episode.

Truman Capote doesn't interest me. In fact, the so called "Swans" don't interest me either.

I did enjoy "Bette and Joan" mainly because Joan Crawford and Bette Davis are fascinating (IMO).

This one may be worth a look. Mainly because I think Ryan Murphy does some good work.

But it's hard to get past the real life Truman Capote. I was a little boy when he was making an as%$# of himself on talk shows. He was a joke.

In fact, aside from "In COld Blood" - I'm not sure he accomplished much of anything. All I remember is he was a talk show joke.

So far I love Capote vs. The Swans. It's kind of nice to have a show where all the main characters are unsympathetic. Not that it's an excuse for bad behavior, but the episodes have done a good job of explaining Truman's motivations - his not ever fitting in, his own mother's abandonment of him and NYC society's rejection of her. I can totally see why he did what he did. Vindication. Anyway - it's a complex story and I love it - perhaps because I have an interest in that time period - and the Swans dressed so well. I love the fashion!

Not the target audience for MC. Look at the shit that trends most of the time.
This is mostly a miniseries for women.

The season sounded good on paper but so far, I don't care about any of the characters. The actor playing Truman might be accurate but he's obnoxious.
