Escape to 90s New York: The Nostalgic Allure of 'Love Story'
In these troubled times, where the news cycle can feel relentlessly bleak, the stylized drama of 'Love Story' offers a much-needed respite. This nine-part series, executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, documents the love story and untimely deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette, taking viewers back to a very particular version of early-1990s New York.
While the tragic end of the Kennedy-Bessette saga might seem like a heavy subject matter, the preceding episodes are suffused with a kind of pearly, nostalgic light that can help us see off the iron-grey wash of today's reality. This New York is not the city's current iteration, with its impossible rents and charmless finance bros ruining downtown. Nor is it the 1990s New York of, say, 'Home Alone 2,' with its brash commercialism.
