I've been captivated from start to end! The casting is amazing. Both actors have understood the assignment. Jessica is stunning and her voice OMG it's perfect.
The flipping table scene is insanely good. They better not ruin the rest of the show and this iconic love story that gave us some iconic songs although we all know it's not gonna end well, i'm still here for it😂
Jessica Chastain singing Stand by your man is candy for the ears but i really do believe i've just unlocked a new obsession for Michael Shannon! Once again an actor who does no social media so i'll have to dig for crumbles on the internet 😂

It seems to be a trend right now to have shows about true life stories or loosely based stories. From start to finish it really kept my attention their love and struggles while hearing music I enjoy. I see people posting the singing was terrible, but I do not think so. Shannon especially sounded good. I think people get in their head the real singers and will not have it in their heads someone else singing some of the songs. Sometimes we do not see past the true performances on stage and tv. The characters we derive in our heads may be completely different than their true personalities so you got to go into it open minded. Unlike some of the other stories I have watched recently that the captivating parts were in the first 2-3 episodes this was different it kept my attention start to finish. I am sure that everything is not completely accurate, but I found it well put together and interesting.
The music was not right....it was dragging at times. The voices are not as strong as the real George and Tammy. George's voice was one of a kind. I saw him in person a few times. Maybe they should have lip synched instead. Jessica does look a little like Tammy. The action was
true according to accounts I had heard before. I think this mini series could have been better. Now I'll have to get my George and Tammy albums out and give them another listen. Tim Blake Nelson was Roy Acuff who also had a big voice but not in this show. Above all, the music has to be right for a music bio to succeed. Wish this one had.
No one can fault Jessica Chastain or Michael Shannon"s performances. They even do an amazing job of singing. Of course no one can compare with George Jones and Tammy Wynette in the eyes of their fans. They are still impressive.
I would have given this a full ten, but it's one flaw is dragging out the story. This could have been three episodes instead of six. Dragging it out seemed painful.
I'd rather see a miniseries about their rise to the top. Their relationship was so troubled and trying, we already got the point and dragging all of us through it was unnecessary.
Again, top notch performances from the leads.

I finished watching the last episode last night. It's just an amazing story of what love is or could be.
It will be shameful if Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon don't win the highest awards. Everyone needs to see this. It is a timeless story of a particular time.
The movie epitomizes the glimpse of real life story that is imbedded in the fabric of American life, with the good and the bad. Human weaknesses and inspiration take center stage.
Music, sets, make-up, direction, writing, is all a standout compared to the meaningless rubbish, being thrown at viewers.
The fact they sing it themselves is incredible and awe inspiring.
