MONDAY ANALYSIS: Love Story, the Disney+ series following the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, has just wrapped up. Like many other Ryan Murphy shows, the series has drawn an almost-even mix of praise and condemnation. Amongst the show’s detractors, however, are people who actually feature in the real-life story of JFK Jr and CBK: Jack Schlossberg, JFK Jr’s nephew, and the actress Daryl Hannah, his ex-girlfriend. So we wanted to deep the question: Is it ethical to make a television show about someone’s real life?
