I will say, seeing Clive Owen as Clinton does make me chuckle. Just looks cartoonish.

Yeah, they can get John Travolta to play Robert Shapiro, but not for Clinton in this?

Hope this doesn't bring any additional pain to Monica Lewinski. Could give a fuck all if it brings unmeasurable pain to pretty much everyone else involved.

Though that doesn't guarantee that the additional attention won't bring her problems I'm very glad to see she was involved.

Ryan Murphy has said he would only do this story if Monica was involved and could profit from her own story.

Can someone with too much time on their hands recut the trailers to resemble the American Horror Story opening?

^ I think that was fairly obvious from the trailers. The show looks completely amateurish.

Yikes! I did not like this at all. Didn’t finish the first episode.

Loved season 1. Shocked me at how good it was. Season 2 was good too. Didn’t know anything about season 2’s story.

Season 3 doesn’t feel like it was made by the same creative team. Seems way off. So confusing too. Maybe because I was only a teenager during the 90s, but the political stuff was confusing back then and it’s still confusing now!

Dropping the season. Not worth sticking around for me. Hoping for a season 4 and a better crime story.

I was eager to watch this but it is not being made available on Hulu, so that's it.

It will eventually be on Netflix when it's over.

I thought that was weird. I have Hulu Live (with Hulu no ads option). When I watch FX shows, like Always Sunny, it's ad-free.

When I was watching Impeachment, it was using the FX On Demand version, so I was forced to watch ads.

Now I know it's not a part of regular Hulu, even though Hulu constantly promotes "live on FX, on Hulu next day" for other FX / FXX shows.

This show has a Netflix deal, given out old "this show" is now (dating back to the OJ series).

Oh wow. I had no idea. I just assumed it would be on Hulu. I was going to watch it online with my daughter in NY tonight. Guess that's not happening.

The makeup on this show is really bugging me. It's just way too much on too many people. Linda Tripp has a fat suit and a big prosthetic nose. Paula Jones another big prosthetic nose. Bill Clinton ... you guessed it - another prosthetic nose (it looks like among other prosthetics). And they're all BIG and distracting.

It is really having a negative impact on the performances. It's like they don't trust the audience to know who they're supposed to be portraying. I think there's a good performance from Clive Owen in there, but I just keep staring at that awful nose. Beanie Feldstein doesn't seem to have any special makeup, but she's doing a much better job embodying Monica Lewinsky. Same goes for Cobie Smulders as Anne Coulter.

Did anyone stick with this? I bailed after 2 episodes. Wasn't enjoying it at all, which was weird considering how much I loved the first two seasons.

I can't imagine this series will return after this season's tepid response and anemic ratings.

I’m letting it build up on the DVR, but don’t really have any desire to watch.

Season 4 was in development and supposed to be about Studio 54.

Not only that… but there are two additional series coming:

FX Orders ‘American Sports Story’ & ‘American Love Story’ Spinoffs From Ryan Murphy
