I don't know if I believe what I'm seeing. Barbara Paley is dying and Truman is there. I find that hard to believe after Truman betrayed his closest and best friend. They never reconciled in reality. Sadly Truman had his demons. I don't know what this series was supposed to be about. Truman must have known he wouldn't be welcome at Babe's funeral. His eulogy of her was vapid and empty. It became about Truman all along. Truman might have been a wiz with words but he was an attention seeking celebrity who was obsessed with Babe. I would describe Babe and Truman's relationship as toxic and dysfunctional. I don't get the appeal of Truman capote as a man or celebrity. Tom Holland does an excellent job in making Truman Capote as sympathetic and even empathetic but not completely. When Babe finally succumbs to her cancer, Truman is not there nor does he understand his betrayal. The relationship between Truman and the swans were superficial and empty. The swans lived in a world of appearances, status, wealth and expectations. I expect Ryan Murphy to have some camp and fun but the series has become a train wreck.
