If you added up all the scandals, fights, affairs, betrayals, legal troubles, bouts with addiction, backstage dramatics and onstage antics depicted in “Ray,” “Walk the Line,” “Respect,” “Elvis,” “Fosse/Verdon” and let’s throw in the fictional “A Star Is Born” as well to make it a fair fight, “George and Tammy” might have the lot of ’em beat, put together.
Over the course of this Showtime six-part limited series, we’re equal parts entertained and exhausted by the trials and tribulations of country music legends George Jones (Michael Shannon) and Tammy Wynette (Jessica Chastain). And we’re not sure which is more impressive: that George and Tammy were responsible for so much enduring music, or that they were able to even stand up and perform on a semi-regular basis.
