Has anyone seen this yet?

I just finished this (surprised me how quickly one could get through this 4 hour season) and am not sure what to think.

It pretty much sums up the trainwreck that F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre were as a marriage. Now that I've finished their first season, I'm not sure how much more they could go on with this, aside from the obvious historical timeline.

I'm not even entirely too sure how riveted I was vs just going to the next episode as something to watch.
interesting. I like to see how other marriages are like with famous people.

I read on Wikipedia that Zelda wasn't much of a homemaker, or motherly...

"Zelda never became particularly domestic, nor showed any interest in housekeeping.[30] By 1922, the Fitzgeralds had employed a nurse for their daughter, a couple to clean their house, and a laundress.[31] When Harper & Brothers asked her to contribute to Favorite Recipes of Famous Women she wrote, "See if there is any bacon, and if there is, ask the cook which pan to fry it in. Then ask if there are any eggs, and if so try and persuade the cook to poach two of them. It is better not to attempt toast, as it burns very easily. Also, in the case of bacon, do not turn the fire too high, or you will have to get out of the house for a week. Serve preferably on china plates, though gold or wood will do if handy."[32]

In early 1922, Zelda again became pregnant. Although some writers have said that Scott's diaries include an entry referring to "Zelda and her abortionist", there is, in fact, no such entry. Zelda's thoughts on the second pregnancy are unknown, but in the first draft of The Beautiful and Damned, the novel Scott was completing, he wrote a scene in which the main female character Gloria believes she is pregnant and Anthony suggests she "talk to some woman and find out what's best to be done. Most of them fix it some way." Anthony's suggestion was removed from the final version, a change which shifted focus from the abortion choice to Gloria's concern that a baby would ruin her figure.[33]
