YMMV / The First Lady

Go To

  • Hollywood Homely: Eleanor Roosevelt wasn't a noted beauty but given that her actresses, even the one portraying her as a little girl, are all comely looking (especially '90s superbabe Gillian Anderson).
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many agreed that Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford was the highlight of the show.
  • Memetic Mutation: Viola Davis' infamous pursed lips as Michelle Obama generated a good deal of memetic mockery.
  • Questionable Casting: Viola Davis as Michelle Obama was deemed an odd choice given the lack of physical resemblance between the two. Her performance was ultimately negatively received with the general consensus that it was she over exaggerated the real life figure's mannerisms.
