Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy, criticised the FX series 'Love Story' for sensationalising his family and overlooking their public service.
Schlossberg said he and his mother, Caroline Kennedy, laughed at the show's portrayal of her, but stressed that the series is fictional and not entirely accurate.
While acknowledging the show's popularity, Schlossberg urged viewers to remember his family's legacy as public servants, not just as celebrities or icons.
