No. Y'all are saying it because of the flawless acting, the storyline of Liz Taylor is great, but nowhere near as unique and good as TC's.
Liz Taylor was a man who felt like a woman his entire life, but was scared to live as his true selfe. Then he met TC and she helped him and he abondaned his family so he can be "herself".
Whereas TC was a naive young actress who was inlove with this acting god. Then all the romance + him turning her into a vampire. Valentino's fake death, TC marrying Mr March, becoming evil, Valentino coming back and turning her into a vampire. Valentino and Natascha being trapped under TC's nose, while she thinks they abondaned her.
TC trying to replicate Valentino for decades, and abondaning each and every one of them, the way she was left.
And so on.
Liz Taylor is not even close, the portrayel might be better, but the character itself is not.

But this is really just because The Countess is a/the leading character and Liz isn't... Of course her role's gonna be more built out (partly also just because she simply has a lot more history).
I do think TC is a good character, but I also think she lacks in a couple of aspects. I never felt a connection or sorry for her in any way, and I feel like that should have been the case (Valentino supposedly leaving her, her finding his body etc.), but I was left cold. I can't really tell if it was because her character wasn't written better, or if Gaga wasn't able to pull it off.
Compared to other leading "bad bitch" characters, like Sister Jude or Fiona, she remains kinda flat, imo. Those two still had that flicker of humanity peaking through and you could relate to them somehow (Jude: struggling with her celibate/loneliness and thinking she killed a girl; Fiona: having failed at motherhood; aging).
When Liz and Iris storm in 
Don't care about her that much either.
