American Crime Story: Stand by Your Man (2021)
Season 3, Episode 8
9/10
An episode that makes the previous 7 worth watching...
8 December 2021
This concerns the time HRC had her Tammy Wynette moment...

Both Eddie Falco and Clive Owen are outstanding in an episode that explores the essential dynamics of the Hill&Bill relationship ie. Her drive and determination into turning her wayward Bill into a POTUS to remember.

She did that alright!

In this episode Clive Owen rocks Bill with a perfect accent and in some scenes you can actually believe Bill is in the room. It's a nuanced performance and Clive gets it just right.

When you watch one episode every week over many weeks you can get the 'where is all this leading/going' feeling...but this episode makes the lead-up and the previous episodes ALL worth watching...I'm hoping the last two episodes have the same compelling power as Episode 8.
