As Frank Sinatra sang, "The best is yet to come," but science fiction disagrees. Sci-fi is not a genre known for predicting sunny outcomes for humanity, but with dystopias this creative, who needs eternal optimism? From a space cruise gone wrong to life after the Rapture to a satirical take on the British political process, these 12 sci-fi series survey the global landscape and suggest how society might shift under strange and unusual circumstances.

Ahead, read **'s list of the 12 best sci-fi TV shows currently streaming on HBO Max.

Avenue 5 (2020–2022)

Streaming has given high-concept, unique sci-fi shows access to bigger budgets than ever before, but that doesn't mean those projects have to be serious. Exhibit A: *Veep* creator Armando Iannucci bringing workplace comedy and social commentary to space with *Avenue 5*.

Hugh Laurie stars as Ryan Clark, captain of a giant space cruise ship full of snobby, rich tourists, though when the ship's course is changed from a few weeks to more than three years, the classy decorum begins to break down. Also along for the ride is Josh Gad as the vessel's outlandish billionaire owner, plus Zach Woods, Herman Judd, Rebecca Front, Suzy Nakamura, and Nikki Amuka-Bird, who appear as various passengers and crew members in this one-of-a-kind space farce. —*Eric Maurer*

Doom Patrol (2019–2023)

April Bowlby as Rita Farr/Elasti-Woman, Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, and Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele/Robotman on 'Doom Patrol'. HBO Max

You can never have too many TV superheroes — but this ragtag group of power possessors is not exactly equipped to bring down supervillains. Included in the DC Universe and adapted from the eponymous comic series, *Doom Patrol* is the story of a team of superheroes who have received their abilities through traumatic incidents and are now living on the outskirts of society.

Holed up in the mansion of a medical doctor called the Chief, the Doom Patrol heroes — who include characters like Robotman, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man, Crazy Jane, and Cyborg — spend four seasons learning truths about themselves, the tragic circumstances that led to the creation of their powers, and generally doing their best to engage in heroic activities. *—Ilana Gordon*

Dune: Prophecy (2024–present)

A TV series being greenlit after the success of *Dune* (2021) was as inevitable as the prophecy of Lisan al Gaib. Luckily, this is a worthy installment in the franchise director Denis Villeneuve helped revive, centering on the origins of the oracular group of women known as the Bene Gesserit.

Set 10,000 years before the events of *Dune*, *Dune: Prophecy *offers a thrilling, thoughtful examination of how everything we've come to know was set in motion. It also boasts remarkable craft, with EW's critic praising, "A visual feast, each episode is filled with impressive visual effects that bring chittering thinking machines to life and gorgeous costuming that sees its powerful cast draped in black Bene Gesserit gowns, sand-blasted overcoats, and ruby red wedding dresses." A new season is set to premiere this year. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast:** Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina

The Last of Us (2023–present)

This highly anticipated adaptation of the beloved PlayStation video game franchise proved to be worth the wait. Released on HBO a decade after the game taught players how to navigate a postapocalyptic world inhabited by undead humans who have been infected with a mutant fungus that causes cannibalism, *The Last of Us* combines the best elements of the game with HBO's legendary access to premium talent and top-notch storytelling. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Last of Us*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, Gabriel Luna, Isabela Merced, Kaitlyn Dever

The Leftovers (2014–2017)

Carrie Coon as Nora Durst and Justin Theroux as Kevin Garvey on 'The Leftovers'. Ben King/HBO

While not hard sci-fi in a high-tech or alien sense, this supernatural mystery series is too good to leave off this list. Damon Lindelof, co-creator of *Lost* and *Watchmen*, teamed up with author Tom Perrotta to adapt the latter's book about what happens after a small percentage of the world's population suddenly disappears.

*The Leftovers* revolves around police chief Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) and his family, as well as others affected by the "Sudden Departure," like Carrie Coon's Nora and her reverend brother, played by Christopher Eccleston. Amy Brenneman, Liv Tyler, and Regina King also star in this emotional psychological thriller that only gets better over the course of its three seasons. —*E.M.*

Where to watch *The Leftovers*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon, Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler

Rick and Morty (2013–present)

Summer (voice: Spencer Grammer), Rick (voice: Justin Roiland), and Morty (voice: Justin Roiland) of 'Rick and Morty'. Adult Swim

There's no relationship quite like the one between a grandfather and his grandson — especially when it exists across multiple dimensions. Fourteen-year-old Morty is an anxious kid whose attempts to lay low and survive puberty are frequently upended by the erratic experiments of his grandfather Rick, an eccentric scientist whose drunken misanthropy and hijinks find the two embarking on travels across time and space.

An adult animated sci-fi comedy from the minds of voice actor Justin Roiland and writer Dan Harmon (*Community*), *Rick and Morty *takes the concept of the traditional sitcom family and blows it up — sometimes literally. Start watching this Adult Swim original for the subverted *Back to the Future* vibes, but don't expect McDonald's to bring back their Szechuan sauce anytime soon. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Rick and Morty*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, Sarah Chalke

Robot Chicken (2005–present)

Luke Skywalker (voice: Bob Bergen) and Obi-Wan Kenobi in 'Robot Chicken: Star Wars'. Adult Swim

When the sun sets, Cartoon Network goes away and Adult Swim — its mature alter ego with content specifically targeted towards an older crowd — comes out to play. Four years after Adult Swim took to the airwaves, the network debuted *Robot Chicken*, a stop-motion sketch comedy show co-created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, with Green voicing the titular character. Since 2005, the show has aired 11 seasons of 11-minute episodes, making this subversive, pop culture-skewering series a perfect option for a generation that came of age in the era of social media-refined attention spans.

Featuring more famous voices than a celebrity charity concert, *Robot Chicken *is an immensely bingeable comedy time capsule, and it remains one of *Adult Swim*'s longest-running and most successful series. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Robot Chicken*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, Breckin Meyer, Tom Root

Scavengers Reign (2023)

Azi (voice: Wunmi Mosaku) in 'Scavengers Reign'.

This animated sci-fi series, an expansion of the 2016 Adult Swim short *Scavengers*, is gripping and disturbing all at once. *Scavengers Reign* follows a group of spaceship crew members stranded on an alien planet who must use their wits to survive. Among the separated crew are horticulturalist Ursula and commander Sam; cargo specialist Azi and robot Levi; and Kamen, who meets a telepathic creature named Hollow, who manipulates him using images of his deceased wife. Featuring stunning animation that brings its alien world to life in striking detail, *Scavengers Reign* has been hailed as one of the best sci-fi shows on television today. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Scavengers Reign*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Sunita Mani, Wunmi Mosaku, Alia Shawkat, Bob Stephenson, Ted Travelstead

Station Eleven (2021–2022)

What happens when you combine a devastatingly timely story from an award-winning book, the showrunner who wrote the mind-bending and melancholy *Maniac*, and a top-notch cast? Well, you get the gorgeous and singular miniseries *Station Eleven*. The 10-episode story develops over multiple timelines, revealing the immediate aftermath of a deadly flu pandemic and the world that springs up decades later.

Mackenzie Davis stars as Kirsten, an actor in a postapocalyptic traveling theater group who was only 8 when the world as she knew it ended. Meanwhile, the show's creative through-line comes from creator Patrick Somerville, who also wrote for *The Leftovers* and created *Made for Love *— and *Station Eleven* is yet another feather in his impressive cap. *—E.M.*

Where to watch *Station Eleven*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Mackenzie Davis, Himesh Patel, Matilda Lawler, David Wilmot, Danielle Deadwyler

Titans (2018–2023)

Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing on 'Titans'.

Another offering from the DC Universe, *Titans* is a superhero series and live-action adaptation of the *Teen Titans* comic books. Full of recognizable superhero names (like Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Batman's sidekick, Robin) and less well-known characters (like Rachel, a.k.a. Raven, a young empath), the first season watches as the previously disbanded Titan team reassembles — with a few new additions to the roster — and battles villains, assassins, and their own personal demons.

Boasting a strong cast, more violence than is strictly necessary, and moody vibes, the series feels right at home in the DC Universe, and the show takes its time in digging into characters and backstories over the four available seasons. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Titans*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Ryan Potter, Teagan Croft

Watchmen (2019)

Regina King as Sister Night in 'Watchmen'. Mark Hill/HBO

Who watches the Watchmen? Well, we do, and you should, too. Damon Lindelof's Emmy-winning miniseries picks up 34 years after the events of Alan Moore's *Watchmen* graphic novel as we follow Det. Angela Abar (Regina King) as she attempts to take down a local white supremacist group targeting the police. Her investigation finds her intersecting with familiar faces from the *Watchmen* comic as a grand conspiracy is gradually revealed. "*Watchmen* doesn't overdose on nostalgia, like so many franchise extensions in our reboot-soaked decade," writes EW's critic. "It's dangerous, and invigorating." *—K.J.*

Where to watch *Watchmen*: HBO Max

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast:** Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson

Years and Years (2019)

Emma Thompson as the Rt Hon Vivienne Rook MP in 'Years and Years'. Robert Ludovic/HBO/Everett

Three years after the British populace voted on a referendum to leave the European Union, a limited series called *Years and Years* premiered on BBC One. A dystopian science fiction drama told across six episodes and set over the course of 15 years, the show follows Britain's cultural and economic collapse, as told through the eyes of the Lyons family. The country's decline is accelerated by the likes of Vivian Rook (Emma Thompson), a successful businesswoman turned populist politician whose proposed policies — like one that bars anyone with an IQ under 70 from voting — are a sobering reminder of how tenuous our global democracies are, and how easily freedom can free fall into fascism.

Simultaneously compelling and horrifying, *Years and Years *is a political and social satire that would be a lot funnier if it didn't feel so truthful. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Years and Years*: HBO Max

**Cast: **Anne Reid, Rory Kinnear, Jessica Hynes, Emma Thompson

The Florida Bar said Friday it is not investigating former Justice Department attorney Lindsey Halligan, walking back an earlier statement saying a probe was underway.

In early February, a Florida Bar official responded to a request for a probe into the Trump loyalist over her time in the administration by writing, "We already have an investigation pending."

A day after NBC News and other outlets reported on the letter Thursday, the Florida Bar said that while there is a "monitoring file," there is no investigation into Halligan.

"In response to an inquiry from a complainant, The Florida Bar wrote a letter to the complainant erroneously stating that there is a pending Bar investigation of member Lindsey Halligan," a Florida Bar spokeswoman said in a statement Friday. "There is no such pending Bar investigation of Lindsay Halligan."

The bar said it received a complaint against Halligan and then followed what it called standard practice by "monitoring the ongoing legal proceedings underlying the complaint."

The complaint to the Florida Bar came from the Campaign for Accountability, a nonprofit watchdog group. The group said that by falsely claiming to be a U.S. attorney, Halligan committed a variety of ethical violations.

Halligan, who had no prosecutorial experience before leading unsuccessful cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, left her role as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in January after a judge said she was "masquerading" as the district's top federal prosecutor.

The Campaign for Accountability filed complaints with both the Florida and the Virginia bars in November, and it followed up with the Florida Bar last month.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously served as Florida's attorney general, criticized the earlier news reports of an investigation.

"The Florida Bar 'investigation' of Lindsey Halligan is totally fake news," she said Friday in a post on X. "Lindsey not only did nothing wrong — she did a great job!"

Asked for comment on the Florida Bar's reversal, Halligan responded to NBC News Friday by writing, "Where's my apology?"

She also sent a screenshot of a Trump post on Truth Social where he reposted Bondi's defense of Halligan.

NTSB report cites deicing delay in deadly Maine jet crash

NTSB report cites deicing delay in deadly Maine jet crash Marc Ramirez, USA TODAY Sat, March 7, 2026 at 1:50 AM UTC 2 The deadly Jan. 25 crash of a private jet in Bangor, Maine, happened after the luxury craft failed to depart within recommended time frames after deicing for the given weather conditions, according to a preliminary report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The deadly Jan. 25 crash of a private jet in Bangor, Maine, happened after the luxury craft failed to depart within recommended time frames after deicing for the given weather conditions, according to a preliminary report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board.

All six people on board died in the fiery crash, which occurred as the Bombardier CL-650 took off from the Bangor International Airport's single runway enroute to France during a fierce winter storm.

FAA recommendations for the given conditions called for departure no more than 9 minutes after deicing, but the jet did not leave for nearly 17 minutes, the report said.

Snow covers the ground in northwest Oklahoma City, Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026. These photos captured the winter storm's aftermath from the sky.

The jet, operated by a Houston law firm, had departed Texas with a stop in Bangor, about 130 miles northeast of Portland, for fuel and deicing services, authorities said.

According to AccuWeather, visibility at the time of the crash was about three-fourths of a mile with a low ceiling of 1,100 feet.

According to the NTSB, light snow had been reported but should have been categorized as moderate given the nighttime visibility and temperatures of about 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Those conditions specified a maximum holdover period of nine minutes from the start of the anti-ice application.

However, the report said the plane did not depart until nearly 16 minutes after the deicing process had begun at nearly 7:28 p.m. and 13 minutes after application of anti-ice fluid concluded.

The report said the plane sat on the deice pad for nearly five minutes before it left. By then, eight minutes had passed since the deicing application had begun, it said.

A Bombardier CL-600 type aircraft takes off from Ferihegy Airport in Budapest on August 3, 2009.

A review of the plane's cockpit voice recorder indicated the flight crew discussed holdover times while taxiing to the runway, with the pilot saying it was "standard" to have 14 to 18 minutes but that if the wait was more than 30 minutes, the plane would return to the ramp to deice again. Those time frames would have been consistent with the FAA's recommendations for light snow.

The plane took off at 7:44 p.m. and ultimately came to rest upside-down before catching on fire. Federal investigators were initially unable to reach the site with the region under heavy snow and ice from a winter storm sweeping the region.

A preliminary review of flight data recorder data revealed no evidence of a flight control malfunction or failure, the NTSB said.

A powerful storm system moving over southern Michigan on the afternoon of March 6 spawned at least one confirmed tornado, killing four people and injuring more than a dozen others.

The severe thunderstorm moved through Cass, St. Joseph and Branch counties, leaving damages across a 50-mile swath between Edwardsburg, Three Rivers and Union City, according to reports from the National Weather Service office in Northern Indiana.

At least one "large and extremely dangerous" tornado was confirmed by storm chasers, trained spotters, broadcast media and public videos from Three Rivers in St. Joseph County, Michigan, the weather service said.

Three of the deaths and 12 injuries were reported by the Branch County Sheriff's Office. Of the 12 injured, three were taken to local hospitals after the storm moved through the Union Lake area of the county.

"Our thoughts are with those who have lost family, friends, and property during this incident," the sheriff's office stated.

A fatality and several injuries were confirmed by Cass County Sheriff Clint Roach. Multiple large structures, including homes and pole barns, sustained either major damage or total destruction, the county reported.

In St. Joseph County, the Sheriff's Office advised people to avoid traveling to or through locations in the city of Three Rivers, areas to the east and northeast of the community and in Fabius Township. The sheriff's office also advised people to avoid damaged structures and structures that had been marked by emergency personnel.

The weather service office in Northern Indiana said it intends to send a meteorology team out on the morning of March 7 to conduct a storm survey to confirm damages left by the storm and determine whether there was more than one tornado and how intense the winds were.

"We are being flooded with reports of damage so we do not have an exact number to report," said Maddi Johnson, a meteorologist in the weather service office. "We do know that there were several homes damaged on the north side of Union Lake" in Union City, Michigan, Johnson said.

Additional severe weather is possible overnight into March 7 and could influence how early the meteorologists are able to begin the survey, the weather service said. If warnings are issued, residents should seek shelter immediately and continue monitoring trusted weather and news sources for information.

The National Weather Service released this graphic explaining how tornado surveys are conducted after a storm.

The Three Rivers tornado struck around 3:50 p.m. Storm chasers and emergency management staff in St. Joseph County reported the tornado touched down multiple times before causing damage on the southwest side of Three Rivers just before 4 p.m. local time.

Local officials also reported to the weather service that a person had been trapped in debris and needed extrication between Niles and Edwardsburg in Cass County. A tornado warning had been issued for portions of Cass and St. Joseph counties around 3:14 p.m. local time, and then continued at 3:52 p.m.

The storm that spawned the tornado that struck Three Rivers was still showing organization and potential strengthening as it continued toward the northeast, the weather service reported.

Social media videos posted from in St. Joseph and Cass counties showed a section of roof being lifted off a Menards store in Three Rivers and debris being hurled around in the air.

The weather service also reported "a large debris ball" on radar over Union City, Michigan. Damage reports were received along a roughly 60 mile swath between Niles and Union City, but it wasn't immediately clear whether it was caused by one or multiple tornadoes.

At 5 p.m., the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office shared a Facebook post asking "everyone to please stay away from the north end" of the county until further notice. "Emergency personnel are currently responding to an active situation in that area, and it is critical that our firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS, and other emergency workers have clear access," the office stated.

As of 10 p.m. on March 6, a few thousand customers were without electricity in St. Joseph and Cass counties.

Other tornadoes reported

The Three Rivers tornado is among at least a half dozen reported across the United States on March 5 and 6.

In Oklahoma, a woman and her daughter died when their van was caught by a tornado March 5. Weather service meteorologists were still surveying the damage from those storms on the afternoon of March 6.

Tornado warnings

The National Weather Service office in Grand Rapids, Michigan had issued a tornado warning for a portion of its coverage area that was due to expire at 5:30 p.m.Storm risk forecast for the afternoon of March 6

An outlook for potential severe storms that had been issued by the National Weather Storm Prediction Center at 1:45 p.m. The area where the tornado struck had been in an area of marginal risk, according to the forecast.Tornado warning issued in Three Rivers, Michigan

Landing a job that lasts over a decade is a blessing for any working actor. That being said, when *Modern Family** *was coming to a close after 11 seasons, Jesse Tyler Ferguson was ready for a change.

"*Modern Family* ended and then we had a pandemic, you know. I was so excited for this next chapter of my life, and then it was like, everyone go inside," Ferguson noted while speaking with *Reno 911 *and *St. Denis Medical *star Wendi McLendon-Covey on Tuesday's episode of his *Dinner's On Me *podcast.

That frustration of that false start was nothing compared to the bind that lay in store.

Peter "Hopper" Stone/ABC

"During that time, they were brewing this idea of maybe doing a *Modern Family* spinoff with [Eric Stonestreet] and I, which I was interested in, but I was also supposed to do this play in New York."

Sitcom spinoffs like *Frasier *and *Laverne and Shirley* have yielded even greater success for the stars shifted from supporting to series star, but Ferguson wasn't so sure he wanted it — or anything to happen.

"It sort of felt like, as the reality of, maybe the spinoff was actually going to happen, I literally felt like, *Oh my god, I want to date other people*," he explained.

Ferguson said that after 11 seasons in the rigidly structured sitcom world, he had to "feel what it's like to not do that." And "anyway, it ended up not working out."

Wendi McLendon-Covey says she was fired from a movie for not being 'pretty enough'

*Modern Family *came to a close only six years ago, but talk of a reboot, prequel, or spinoff series has haunted the series perhaps more than any other that aired its finale in the COVID era.

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our ******EW Dispatch newsletter******.***

Stonestreet, who played Ferguson's husband across *Modern Family*'s series run, has discussed the undeveloped spinoff centered around their Cameron Tucker (Stonestreet) and Mitchell Pritchett (Ferguson) characters.

"They had their chance. [Series co-creator] Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri, and they said, 'No.' They just said, 'We don't want to do it.'"

Stonestreet said that still, 17 years after the *Modern Family *premiere, "I love my character. I love the show. I love Jesse," but believes the powers that be "thought of us as the old guys, or something like that, that didn't seem worthy of keeping those characters going. It felt a little hurtful. But people make business decisions."

FX's *Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette** *dramatizes one of the most famous romances of the 20th century, and while audiences are swooning, the Kennedy family isn't impressed.

Jack Schlossberg, JFK Jr.'s nephew, has been openly critical of the Ryan Murphy-produced series, calling it a "grotesque display of someone else's life." He also urged fans to watch the show "with one letter in mind, and that's a capital F for fiction."

While certain events in the series reflect real life, the show takes plenty of creative liberties. That said, here's a look at five details that *Love Story *gets wrong about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's relationship.

How JFK Jr. and Carolyn met is still debated

Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette and Paul Anthony Kelly as JFK Jr. on 'Love Story'.

In the *Love Story *premiere, Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) attends a fundraiser in 1992, where her boss, Calvin Klein (Alessandro Nivola), introduces her to JFK Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly). The two hit it off immediately, but the show's version of their first meeting isn't the full picture.

Executive producer Brad Simpson recently told *USA Today* that the *Love Story *team found "competing narratives" about how they met, and ultimately went with the "most common" version: the fundraiser.

However, according to Elizabeth Beller's book *Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy* (which inspired *Love Story*), JFK Jr. and Bessette first crossed paths at a Calvin Klein fitting. Beller wrote that Klein, his wife Kelly, and assistant MJ Bettenhausen had Bessette help JFK Jr. pick out suits, and he "came out of the meeting smitten, with a few men's suits and Carolyn's phone number."

The series squeezes this into the storyline, but it rearranges the timeline. By the time viewers see the fitting, the pair already know each other, and JFK Jr. even shows up to the office specifically to work with Bessette. It also tweaks the Kleins role, making it seem like they had no idea JFK Jr. was there.**

JFK Jr. and Daryl Hannah dated longer than the show depicts

*Love Story *makes it look like JFK Jr.'s romance with Bessette sparks almost instantly after their fundraiser meet-cute, but he was still dating actress Daryl Hannah (Dree Hemingway) at the time.

She drifts in and out of his life throughout the early episodes, and during one of their many break ups, JFK Jr. goes on a date with Bessette. But after seeing a photo of him and Hannah together, she cuts him off. Only after his final breakup with Hannah and his mother's death does JFK Jr. fully commit to being with Bessette.

*Love Story *speeds things up, but in real life, it played out much more slowly. In reality, JFK Jr. and Hannah had a long on-and-off relationship that overlapped with the time he met Bessette in 1992. By the time he officially ended things with Hannah in 1994, JFK Jr. had already been close with Bessette for years, meaning their connection didn't come out of nowhere.

Simpson admitted to *USA Today* that *Love Story *condensed JFK Jr. and Hannah's timeline. He noted that their real-life romance went on for years, but the show "needed to jump ahead" instead of showing every breakup and makeup.

The couple's rift over the anonymous letter reportedly lasted much longer

In episode 4, JFK Jr. finds an anonymous letter in his gym bag. The letter accuses Bessette of being a party girl who was "fixated" on him and begged Klein to set them up. They break up after he confronts her, and JFK Jr. soon regrets not believing Bessette. After many failed attempts at getting in contact with Bessette, JFK Jr. shows up at her apartment, where they reconcile.

In real life, JFK Jr. reportedly received a similar letter, but, per Beller, it came much earlier in 1992. Beller wrote that the letter claimed Bessette "was a user, a partier, that she was out for fame and fortune." While on a date, JFK Jr. allegedly "tossed the piece of paper at her, stood, and walked out the door." Bessette read it herself, dismissed it as nonsense, and was irritated that JFK Jr. hadn't wanted to talk about it with her.

Like on the show, JFK Jr. tried to make amends quickly, but Bessette reportedly ignored him for about a year. During that time, he continued dating Hannah, and Bessette moved on with model Michael Bergin.

JFK Jr. and Bessette officially started dating in 1994, and their relationship went public a year later.

JFK Jr. did not propose to Carolyn with his mother's ring

On the show, JFK Jr. proposes to Bessette using his late mother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' ring, but that's not what happened in real life.

According to Carole Radziwill's book *What Remains*, JFK Jr. didn't pop the question with one of Jackie's rings, but he took inspiration from her "swimming ring" that the former first lady would wear while in the water. Rather, he had a custom band made for Bessette, decorated with "diamonds and sapphires" in a similar style to the swimming ring's emeralds and sapphires.

The couple wasn't fighting about commitment issues in the park

Episode 5 of *Love Story *dramatizes JFK Jr. and Bessette's infamous park fight. On the show, they scream at each other over commitment issues and his proposal, with yelling, tears, and even a moment when he takes her engagement ring off her finger (she agrees to wear it but hasn't formally accepted), prompting Bessette to jump on him.

In real life, JFK Jr. and Bessette did have a heated moment in a park, but it wasn't about a proposal. According to RoseMarie Terenzio and Liz McNeil's *JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography*, the argument was about JFK Jr. letting people push him around and his friends constantly taking advantage of him.

The conflict reportedly stemmed from a friend's wedding, where JFK Jr. and Bessette were seated next to a reporter covering the event. JFK Jr. felt "uncomfortable" with the arrangement, and Bessette called it a "bulls--- thing to do to your friend."

Where can I watch Love Story?
