The Kennedys Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

The Kennedys Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)



The story of the most fabled political family in American history, told in a manner similar to The Godfather: a manipulative, egocentric father determined to live out his own ambitions through his sons, who in turn spent their lives dancing to his tune while at the same time trying to stand on their own. This is history through personality - the tangled relationships through which paint a picture of one of the most turbulent periods of the modern age. Viewers will be upstairs at the White House, not in the Cabinet Room. Through iconic events in history - the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights struggle, the mob connection - viewers will learn about the lesser known, yet critical personal stories.

Yeah it does look like the father was one who pushed him to become president and way he guilt him into it was bad. It's amazing what a son will do for his father but i like little glimpse into john's women.

Part 2

Well i liked this part better than pervious part because we got see How jack meet Jackie and the fact that his father offer 1 million dollars to stay with jack was awful but her rejecting it and still staying with him was amazing.

Bobby really naive and i didn't know there was 3rd kennedy it took until this part figured who bobby was.

Well now you know why they were trying stop this being aired , it make his father look rather bad on the show like he was forcing his son to be president and fact that he guilted him into running for congress because his brother died during the war was awful.

Look at way they portrayed JFK as a ladies man. I felt bad for Jackie it takes one hell of women to stay with a man who cheats but i wonder what she meant at end about him being president and not be embarrassed in front American population. .

Can't wait for tonight episode

Finally got around watch this part it was released very late and i knew they would get some leverage over him because he can't help it. Still at least he had the guts to admit it

It's not like she had any choice did she?  but the under handing situation the father got his boys will lead to one of them being killed my feeling is Bobby.

Part 5

Well this was a very interesting part with so much in the episode, Well Jackie is addicted to drugs but i am glad Jack found out about that and will help him. Joe's stroke was sad but his wife switch the nurses was amusing i knew that was coming but finding out what he did to their daughter was sad. The first black student enter college was such crazy event it's amazing how much trouble that caused and it should make ghetto kids realise what a big deal getting an education was.

i think he didn't know lobotomy was ? he believe that it could cure her but instead it made her brain dead.

I thought when he said she had operation that he got her tubes tied so she couldn't get pregnant.

Part 6

The cubrian missile crisis was interesting part as i studied that at school for GCSE History.

Yes i am glad but it's a shame he lost a kid and Marilyn advances were crazy but i didn't know she killed herself and bobby must feel guilty about that.

Everyone knew shooting was coming but i am curious what part 8 will cover.

Part 8

Wow bobby took it hard but looking after Jackie was incredible but i can see it put a strain of his marriage when she asked him to see her in morning he didn't listen. . I can't believe bobby didn't have protection after what happen with Jack.You would of thought he learn have some sort bullet proof vest?.

There some confusion on this and i don't even know if this is true
