Love Story Season-Finale Recap: Every Couple Is an Island
As a fan, I always felt like Love Story was pulling itself in so many directions. It seemed to want to both expose and celebrate the intense media frenzy around John and Carolyn Kennedy, while also trying to understand their relationship. It was trying to critique the Kennedy family’s rigid ways, but also romanticize them, and even feel sorry for them – all at the same time! They wanted to make John and Carolyn feel like both regular people and untouchable icons. Carolyn was meant to be captivating but also guarded, and John, sensitive but flawed. Ultimately, it felt like it was trying to be a juicy soap opera and a serious drama, but it never quite managed to fully commit to either, and it didn’t really dig deep into the complicated truths of the story.
