Ryan Murphy's new All's Fair is being heralded as one of the worst shows of all time, and people seem surprised. Everything Ryan Murphy does is shit. At best you get a few good episodes before the nonsense aliens show up or there's a random super uncomfortable masturbation scene that doesn't add anything to the plot. Keep in mind this is the man who brought you 9-1-1 which has become so ridiculously stupid that even Buck can't convince me to steal it from the internet. It continues to exist because Angela Bassett has to eat and the only thing she can digest is the scenery. The only goddamn actor on that show killed himself at the end of last season. They're pretending it was to rescue Chimney but we all know it was to get away from a sinking ship. No, wait, he stayed through the sinking ship...
We've gotten so used to expecting good TV that anything that pretends to be edgy or shocks is considered great, but Ryan Murphy doesn't make great TV. Ryan Murphy occasionally has an accident that's watchable, generally due to a cast that's better than whatever he's written for them (I'm expressly not looking at Sarah Paulson - Ratched proved she's incapable of pulling off anything beyond FX-level acting). The first half of the first season of AHS is great. Maybe 4 episodes of season 2 are good (I would watch Jessica Lange peel potatoes but I won't watch the Name Game episode). Capote vs. the Swans is probably the best example of a cast dying to pull something out of the toilet that is Murphy's mind but eventually they even lose the thread and it just becomes people staring at each other.
Ryan Murphy is bad. He's bad for TV, he's bad for the human brain. He keeps putting out shit and people keep shoving it up their asses in some sort of parasocial fecal transplant and as long as this keeps happening, we'll never get another The Wire. We'll just continue to see garbage TV with nonsense aliens and uncomfortable masturbation scenes that don't add anything to the plot.
