“Love Story,” the FX limited series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and
Carolyn Bessette’s relationship, has taken audiences by storm.
Its unstoppable wave of ’90s nostalgia has swept through the
world of fashion, revitalized iconic New York landmarks and set
off a yearning for simpler days before smartphones and dating
apps. The series has also drawn significant backlash, with
criticism ranging from bad reviews to accusations of inaccuracy
and even harm.

Today, Rachel Abrams talks to Alexandra Jacobs, a critic for The
New York Times Book Review, about why America can’t seem to look
away from “Love Story.”

On Today’s Episode:

Alexandra Jacobs, a critic for The New York
Times Book Review and occasional features writer.

Background Reading:

Daryl Hannah: How Can ‘Love Story’ Get Away With This?
