Overview
- - FX/Hulu launched the nine‑episode limited series with a three‑episode drop on Feb. 12, with weekly installments to follow; Disney+ rolled out internationally, including a Feb. 13 UK debut.
- - Critics broadly praise Sarah Pidgeon and newcomer Paul Anthony Kelly and the show’s look at fame’s pressures, with Variety and THR positive and The Guardian issuing a sharp two‑star dissent.
- - Viewer curiosity is high, with the series reaching #2 on Hulu’s top 10 and elevating attention on its relatively unknown leads after an extensive casting search for JFK Jr.
- - Reporting highlights deliberate creative liberties, including the dramatized first meeting, which producers acknowledge differs from accounts in Elizabeth Beller’s 2024 biography.
- - Post‑premiere fact‑checks reiterate NTSB findings that the 1999 crash resulted from pilot error and spatial disorientation and note an instructor had offered to fly that night; some Kennedy relatives say they were not consulted.
