TV Pitch - Feud: The Supremes [[Diana Ross vs. Mary Wilson)

[telekin]

I’ve been watching the latest season of the FX Feud series, Truman Capote vs. The Swans. I didn’t watch the first season - Joan Crawford vs. Bette Davis. At the time, I rolled my eyes at the thought of Ryan Murphy mining yet even more touchstones of queer/camp culture for TV consumption. I’m only a couple of episodes in so far but this season, mostly directed by Gus Van Sant, has really drawn me in.

I know there would be a million and one issues around depiction rights, music etc.. however, while watching, I couldn’t help but think the format of this show would lend itself well to an exploration of The Supremes' story through the relationship of the women who were really at the centre of it, steering clear of the clichés that would befall any kind of biopic, or Dreamgirls comparisons.

Curious if anyone else out there is thinking similarly?
