There are two major complaints, and one says Hudson was dumbed down.

for or how the story was told cool. I wasn’t crazy about how Rock Hudson was portrayed however showcasing how Hollywood has failed poc/lgbtq members loved that part because it speaks on how the industry still is failing in 2020.One major complaint is an allegation that Murphy dumbed down Hudson's personality for. A handful of Twitter conversations claim Hudson was smarter and didn't deserve to be given a less-than-intelligent charisma in the Netflix series.

Others have problems with the way his sexuality was portrayed. Some netizens pointed to Hudson's former marriage to Phyllis Gates and claimed he did try to hide his sexuality, something they thinkglosses over. Scenes in the series show Hudson standing up for his right to love who he chooses, but some viewers aren't sure the real life Hudson's confidence in his sexuality came so easily.is inspired by real people, but isn't necessarily a non-fiction story.

Picking claimed his goal was to truly portray Hudson."I think the goal was just to pay homage to the legacy of Rock, and when I first sat down with Ryan, it was just about capturing the true essence of who Rock was on his rise to stardom," he told."It's hard not to feel a presence of Rock watching. You kind of need to remind yourself [of that] in order to be present. You just rely on your scene partners. Hopefully the audience will feel like a fly on the wall.

The actor also spoke of Hudson's difficult upbringing, one he saw translate to loneliness in adulthood."One other thing that stood out to me when he was a kid was he went across country with his mom to ask his dad to come back, and he said no," Picking remembered. "So, already facing that rejection, I can't imagine that bus ride back home. Then his stepfather comes in and is abusive. It's really unfortunate. It just rings true to me, it's not real unless it's painful to hang on to. I feel that's what Rock was doing, constantly having to feel he couldn't be himself. I think he was a hero. He progressed through judgement, he was resilient. He had great success. He was a hero in my eyes.
