Email's Attic

Top Titles by Theme, as Recommended in Our Emails

Welcome to Email's Attic! Here we show you top titles by theme, as recommended in our emails. This week we focus on Ryan Murphy's new show Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, about the friendship between writer Truman Capote and high-society women of his age (collectively nicknamed "swans," though his relationship with all of them eventually turned poisonous). You can watch it on FX and Hulu. It's the second season of the anthology television series Feud - the first was Bette and Joan, about Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Check out the titles below to learn all about the key players of this new drama.
