[*Impeachment: American Crime Story* is the Ryan Murphy-joint take on Bill Clinton's impeachment scandal](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a28633873/impeachment-american-crime-story-monica-lewinksy-fx/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and I think we can all agree that hopefully it will turn out more [*American Crime Story: The People Vs OJ Simpson*](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/the-people-vs-oj-simpson?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and less *Ryan Murphy Goes Off The Rails After Two Episodes: Many Other Ryan Murphy Projects*. I have high hopes for this, given that he seems to let *American Crime Story* do its own thing from a distance in general, and because Monica Lewinsky herself is heavily involved and presumably has a vested interest in telling her own story with a modicum of kindness, much the way *The People vs OJ Simpson* did so beautifully with Marcia Clark.

The series premieres in September, and we really only got half the cast at this -- somehow, I missed that Clive Owen is playing Bill Clinton, even though I knew Edie Falco was playing Hillary; Edie certainly has a storied history of playing conflicted women married to complicated men, and at some point in 2022, a college student is going to struggle through an essay where she tries to compare HRC to Carmela Soprano for a senior seminar assignment in the Film and TV department. But although we are missing those two , we *did* get [Sarah Paulson's Linda Tripp eyebrows](https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUEbngn%5F9g/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), or lack thereof. Join me!
