As a New York City girl who really never knew anything about country music, I can tell all you that I remember "stand by your man" but I had very little idea who George Jones was, I still really don't know the music that made him famous although I'm hoping to learn. But let's move on to this production, the telling of the story of these two people.
I've watched the first three episodes and I am still interested, I relate to these people, my heart goes out to them as individuals and as a couple.
I'm not in love with Jessica Chastain's rendition of stand by your man, I do remember this song very well and it was a bit more upbeat, and Tammy Wynette had a more powerful voice than Jessica Chastain does.
But the story is a classic story, the story of trials and tribulations that so many of us have gone through. Most of us know what a bear alcoholism is, and how hard it is to be under the kind of pressure George Jones must've been under and not drink. How difficult it is to love a man who is older and comes with some pretty serious baggage as well as being a woman with problems that women have.
To my way of thinking, this is a highly relatable story and it's well told. That's all that really matters to me and I will continue to watch it, because I don't know how the story ends, and I would like to.
I'm also a big fan of both lead actors, so I have no complaints, other than wishing Jessica really sounded like Tammy Wynette.
