17:05Now PlayingMaureen Callahan dives into Episode 8 of Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story”, calling out the series for sidestepping the most troubling realities of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s marriage, including reported drug use and infidelity on both sides and instead leans into a sanitized, sympathetic narrative. She zeroes in on the show’s portrayal of John as a misunderstood nice guy, contrasting it with his real-life handling of family scandals, including repeated efforts to shield his cousin Michael Kennedy, and argues that the series is more interested in preserving myth than confronting the truth, and more.
