It’s such an immersive performance [by Tom Hollander] that you’ll feel as if you’ve moved in with this compelling Capote. .... Jon Robin Baitz’s script endows a sad, meandering saga with novelistic depth and shimmering intensity.

“Capote vs. The Swans” runs long. Its first half is stronger than its second, and its narrowed interest in one swan, rather than the full flock, doesn’t always befit a sweeping, melancholic saga. (And if my swan analogy felt like a stretch, good luck getting through the show.) Still, no matter who you think comes across as the hero or the villain, the winner or the loser (if anyone), “Feud‘s” second season interrogates each side, knows its main characters, and even widens its scope for a few anthropological assertions.

The series offers a combination of squalid scandal and near-Greek tragedy, an addictively tawdry tale of enormously rich, intrinsically unhappy people and the squandering of Capote’s enormous talent.

Although something interesting is usually going on, there are times the series becomes a little tedious, in part because the story is drawn out to fill the allotted time, but also because the character himself, with his circular journey through rehab, meaningless or toxic liaisons, neediness, self-pity and public clownishness, can become tedious. .... But it’s worth staying the course, for the emotional payoff.

Sometimes you have to take what you get in a series, and what you get in this one is a Capote you may not want all that much of. .... A beautifully acted, directed and written bummer.

The show delivers on the cattiness and the glamor and the factoids, like that Capote served everyone spaghetti and chicken hash alongside the champagne. But it misses a deeper insight into why Capote’s guest list was so revolutionary or how ’60s society was shifting as it happened. Feud chooses easier themes.

If only it were fun. The season’s fatal flaw, though, isn’t its mawkishness or its self-seriousness but its lack of sufficient plot to sustain eight episodes. .... It’s a story about a squandering of talent that wastes its own potential.
