Feud is the dramatic reconstruction between two actresses who in their prime competed against each other for film roles and were regarded as rivals.
Now older, these women are regarded as has beens, difficult to work with and no film studio wants to hire them.
The first episode sees Joan Crawford wanting to return to the movies now her husband has died and finances are drying up. Director Robert Aldrich taking out a second mortgage to finance the production and looking for studio backing which includes Jack Warner who has had run ins with both Crawford and Bette Davis who was always strongly opinionated and was involved in a famous litigation against Warner Brothers some years earlier.
Here we see Davis and Crawford trying to put aside their differences and make the film, 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.'
The series has a starry cast with four Oscar winning actresses. Susan Sarandon (Davis) and Jessica Lange (Crawford) get to camp it up and ham it up but I was not convinced this was an interesting enough tale that could be dragged out to eight episodes.
