"Love Story" Finale

The last episode of an uneven but addictive series pays moving tribute, not just to John and Carolyn, but to those they left behind.

★★★½ (3½ out of 4)

It’s all over now but the shouting. So shoutout to Episode 9 (the finale) of “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” for ending on a grace note that honors the memory of John, Carolyn and her sister Lauren, who died on July 16, 1999, when John’s small passenger plane en route from New Jersey to a wedding in Massachusetts crashed into the Atlantic, all three bodies later found still strapped to their seats.
