	Author	Review
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"The end result is at times simultaneously obvious, essential, and not nearly as campy as you might expect (...) The series commits to extracting a parable about women, power, and the ways in which life twists those things up."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Doesn't have 'O.J.' depth, but it's a lot of fun (...) [It] will thrust stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon (...) into awards conversations for the next year."	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"What grips you and holds you are the marvelous performances by huge stars of today playing huge stars of yester-year."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"Ryan Murphy delivers star power to play the actual stars (...) But 'Feud’s' delight in reenacting these moments outpaces its ability to prove why these reenactments matter."	NEU
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"There's an actual humanity at work in the series... 'Feud' is a sad, loud look at an era when Hollywood's treatment of women was perhaps less coded, their worth (...) assessed and dismissed in the bluntest and cruelest of ways."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"'Feud' gives you the glamour and grit of old Hollywood and the joy of watching Sarandon and Lange duke it out in their best roles in years. The supporting cast--Tucci, Molina and Davis--is sublime. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
