Summary
In this week’s episode of The Overshare Pamphlet , I dive into my newest TV obsession: Love Story , the glossy, romantic drama about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, produced by Ryan Murphy. What starts as a tragic historical retelling quickly turns into a chic, 90s fashion-soaked, paparazzi-fueled saga about fame, glamour, and the cost of being America’s unofficial royal couple. I break down the casting (and why Paul Anthony Kelly is basically Bruce Wayne), the fashion, the yearning, the controversies surrounding the Kennedy family’s response, and whether the show romanticizes tragedy a little too comfortably. Plus, I wrap things up with Songs of the Week inspired by 90s R&B, Florence, and cinematic heartbreak.
