New Show Tonight On FX: Trust

March 25, 2018 by tamaratattles 24 Comments

I forgot this show until my calendar reminded me today so it’s not included in this week’s open forum. And since I have totally abandoned reading the comments on that post this week because I’m trying to keep things upbeat, I’m going to give it its own post. Please keep your comments here on the topic of THIS SHOW and whether or not you are interested in watching it. Off topic comments here will be deleted. This is not an open forum.

Trust starts on FX tonight at 10 p.m. NPT. Here is the official description from the FX website.

Inspired by actual events, Trust delves into the trials and triumphs of one of America’s wealthiest and unhappiest families, the Gettys. Equal parts family history, dynastic saga and an examination of the corrosive power of money, Trust explores the complexities at the heart of every family, rich or poor.

Told over multiple seasons and spanning the twentieth century, the series begins in 1973 with the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III (Harris Dickinson), an heir to the Getty oil fortune, by the Italian mafia in Rome. His captors banked on a multi-million-dollar ransom. After all, what rich family wouldn’t pay for the return of a loved one?

FX

Paul’s grandfather, J. Paul Getty Sr. (Donald Sutherland), an enigmatic oil tycoon and possibly the richest man in the world, is marooned in a Tudor mansion in the English countryside surrounded by a harem of mistresses and a pet lion. He’s busy. Paul’s father, J. Paul Getty Jr. (Michael Esper), is lost in a daze in London and refuses to answer the phone. Only Paul’s mother, Gail Getty (Hilary Swank), is left to negotiate with the increasingly desperate kidnappers. Unfortunately, she’s broke. Trust charts the teenage grandson’s nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back.

The cast also includes Brendan Fraser, Anna Chancellor, Norbert Leo Butz, Charlotte Riley and Luca Marinelli.

Trust is created by Simon Beaufoy and executive produced by Danny Boyle, Beaufoy and Christian Colson, with Boyle directing the first three episodes. The show is produced by FX Productions, Cloud Eight Films, Decibel Films and Snicket Films Limited.

I really wanted to go see All The Money In The World at the theater, but it wasn’t there long enough for me to muster the energy to put on pants and a bra and meader to the AMC. This is the same story, told differently of course, that I can watch from the comfort of my couch. I love my couch.

I thought this might appeal to those of you who are mourning the ending of Versace, and might entice some of you who like your thrillers to be less gory and sprinkled with wit more like we are used to in Imposters. I think we have enough people here to watch this series to talk about something besides vaginal rejuvenation and Botox. Come with me, I beseech, you away from the misogynistic buffoonery. Also FX repeats the shows several times on premiere night so you can always fit it in your DVR.

I have two more weeks of Madam Secretary and due to stupid sports shows I have to add a full hour to taping that which conflicts with Sunday night’s WWHL which is the one the RHOA appear on so I have to DVR that. It’s complicated but should be less so after the first two episodes.

I just scanned a few reviews, not wanting to know too much and the reviews are mixed but what shocked me was I didn’t really think the PR meant it was going to be told of many TV seasons, but it is if things go according to plan. They are planning on three seasons with the second season going back in time to the old Getty’s childhood in the 1930s to show how he got to be such a dick. The third episode will deal with the will.

Anyway, I’m excited for this! Who’s in with me? I will put up a post of my thoughts on the first episode as time allows.

    Yippee~Thanks for reminding me! I really want to see this, it’s a fascinating, f-ked up story. I’ve read a lot about it through the years. I’m fascinated by these really wealthy families.
    Another person I’d like Hollywood to do a story about it Talitha Getty. She was married to John Getty Jr. They were the, “It” couple of the sixties. They were madly in love, gorgeous, Incredibly glamorous drug addicts. She died of a drug overdose She was so beautiful with great style, a muse to Yves St Laurent. I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about them.

      Yeah and there’s that connection with Mick and Marianne hanging out wearing fabulous boho outfits and doing drugs in Morocco in the late 60s too.

    I’m in! An interesting family to say the least, and what a talented cast. Truth be told, while I read every HW recap I haven’t watched any of the shows in years.

    I’ve always been fascinated with this family and their history so I’ll definitely be watching and looking forward to discussing here. Thanks TT, I had no idea about this upcoming show. Bonus, loves me some Donald Sutherland. 🤗

    Got the “record season” button on. Excited to watch, even though FX more likely than not will bastardize the story (ies) or Kardashianize them. Dont want to think that way, given Sutherland and Swank are in this. Always felt she got a “bad edit”, or that her acting was never fully appreciated. Have been waiting, looking for some other series to take me away. Big groupie of things like Outlander, Tudors, anything on Masterpiece. Hope this keeps me satisfied!

      Outlander? I need complete privacy, I don’t like to pause AT ALL. PBS, luv too, really missing Downton Abbey. I turned my parents on to “Rome” and “Tudors…” not PBS but good stuff!

    I will definitely be watching! This looks so good. I usually have a delay of a few days for all US shows, so I generally don’t make it to the comments early enough to add anything new. Anyways – count me in the silent watchers club!

      I have the recording but not sure I really want to watch it. Maybe reading your reviews and the comments will be enough.

      I think I experienced enough evil in my early school years and then processing that in therapy to last a lifetime.

      Donald Sutherland should be perfect in this role!

    I would love to watch this series but I’ve been away from my DVR since last Thursday night and won’t be home until tomorrow night (late.) I have DTV at home. The nurse’s house has some kinda cable so I can’t tell if it’s going to reshow episode 1 at home. Help! Anyone in Northern AZ with DTV, will I be able to start at the beginning? I’m the kind that won’t watch a movie without seeing it from the very first second…

    I read this post and the recap post. Just finished watching it. DVR is set to record the series, so I’m in. I must say, when Paul got out of the pool, I was mightily impressed by all the bulging muscles.

    I’ve been excited for this show to begin. This story has always fascinated and sickened me. How someone could have so much and not be willing to part with so little for someone who is their actual blood is something I don’t think I will understand. Hopefully this will help me gain a tiny bit of insight into what was going on in the old man’s head.
