Karina Longworth returns with a typically well-researched and beautifully told story with lots of great details and surprises. This time it’s about classic Hollywood’s most successful and feared gossip columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. I like Longworth’s delivery a little more this time around; it seems more natural. While I didn't like the extent to which many criticized her more mannered way of speaking in previous seasons, I do find her more pleasant to listen to now.
