FX’s New Series on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette
Just three weeks into its airing, FX’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette has quickly captured the hearts of hopeless romantics and ’90s nostalgia fans alike. For those who might not be familiar, it tells the story of John F. Kennedy Jr. (played by Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (portrayed by Sarah Pidgeon), who were arguably the It Couple of the mid-to-late ’90s. New episodes drop every Thursday, leaving fans to cherish the romantic moments between episodes, probably without the urge to indulge in illegal activities.
There’s still time to hop on this cultural wave, especially with new episodes still being released. If you’re not already hooked by the charming characters and their dramatic escapades, the series provides a look at fashion, pop culture, and the political scene in ’90s New York City. It’s a can’t-miss piece of historical drama that revives a time before social media took over—back when celebrity news was found in magazines instead of on our phones.
