9/10
Fine well done start episode of a personal and political scandal.
9 September 2021
"FX's" real life crime anthology series from Ryan Murphy is back this time in season 3 which focuses on the Clinton scandal and Impeachment. Episode one "Exiles" starts it off with longtime white house staffer Linda Tripp(the one and only great Sarah Paulson who's greatly transformed) being demoted and moved to the Pentagon where she meets an energy filled new government intern named Monica Lewinsky(Beanie Feldstein) and the two hit it off and you see soon that this relationship will reveal plenty to the American public. Also showcased and focused on in the first episode is the sexual harassment lawsuit from Paula Jones(Annaleigh Ashford) who claimed Bill Clinton did some naughty things to her as Arkansas governor. The episode was well written and acted super with cast chemistry at A plus levels, and it captures the times of the mid to late 90's well. Really this was a fine start to another hit work from Ryan Murphy.
