"Feud: Bette and Joan" stars Susan Sarandon, left, and Jessica Lange.
"Feud: Bette and Joan" is the first installment of Ryan Murphy's new anthology series, in the vein of "American Horror Story" and "American Crime Story." Each season of "Feud" will follow a famous feud throughout history.This first season, now airing on FX, tells the true story of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, competitive Hollywood stars who were in the 1962 movie "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" together, even though they hated each other.
"Feud: Bette and Joan" is the perfect outlet for Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kathy Bates, and other older actors to prove they have a lot of talent and don't need to be under 30 to take on juicy leading roles. Move over, Jennifer Lawrence! Actors who are actually the age of the people they're playing are getting the roles they deserve.
It's the perfect weekend to binge-watch the season, since the eighth and final episode of "Feud: Bette and Joan" airs this Sunday on FX.
Season two of the anthology series will focus on Prince Charles and Princess Diana. There's still no word on whether season three will follow the "feud" between Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel, but you heard that idea here first.
