Pick of the Day
Feud: Capote Vs The Swans, Disney+
If the cast in this latest in the Feud anthology series from FX (Bette and Joan was particularly memorable) is anything to go by, this should be entertaining.
The list includes Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald.
And if the trailer below is anything to go by, it's going to be glossy, catty and as shallow as a bling-drenched reality show.
This run tells the story of acclaimed writer Truman Capote (played here by Tom Hollander), once a confidante to US society’s most elite women, whom he nicknamed the swans.
But his act of betrayal effectively destroyed those relationships, banished him from high society and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.
