Susan Sarandon is the main reason to watch this, as of now, still one-season limited series, built around the infamous, legendary, and likely overblown year-long animosity between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The latter is played, also fantastically, by Jessica Lange, who adds a generous amount of empathy to the character, otherwise written as petulant, vindictive, and haunted by the painful awareness of Davis's acting talent. Sarandon, who consistently delivers great roles in smaller films, is breathtakingly luminous, while having less screen time but more potent scenes than Lange. It is particularly the intimate moments that stand out, presenting her character as way warmer than her screen persona: rehearsals with her untalented daughter (ironically unconvincingly played by Kiernan Shipka), hang-outs with her almost-out co-star, Victor Buono, chats with Olivia de Havilland. The supporting cast is uniformly good too, as are set design, makeup, and costumes, making this my favorite Murphy production.
