[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 236716, member: 5079"] I have not seen HOLLYWOOD, so I cannot judge its merits; I have avoided because I can't come up with a good answer to these valid questions. The idea of telling the tales of the underdogs of Old Hollywood could have and should have been great; the adversities and triumphs of minorities who made their way through the indifference and even hostility of the dominant culture is about as inherently dramatic as one could hope for. To totally falsify that into some kind of revisionist wish fulfillment seems to have no purpose other than 2020 woke smugness. Even if this had been false in the way FEUD was false -- basically a bunch of baloney, but kind of, sort of, [I]maybe if you squint [/I]it looks reasonably accurate -- I would have happily jumped on board.
