Yeah we get it. Ryan likes men
This show used to be so good but now it just seems like an outlet for Ryan Murphy to include gay imagery in every season with plot and writings taking a massive backseat. He feels like a Hollywood scandal waiting to happen. That said giving gay actors the opportunity to play gay roles is great but when the characters are so unlikable is that helpful in advancing the industry view on inclusion? Especially when It's clichéd stereotypes every season. Having spoken to male & female friends who are gay and loved this show in the early days when it was actually a horror show they are a bit tired of this force feeding of LGBTQ stereotypes and like my wife and I have gradually given up on seasons because they simply aren't written well enough anymore. Viewing figures and reviews def reflect this. Poor crime dramas being peddled as horror are the real horror show here.
We know Murphy is capable of so much better as the Dhamer series showed us but this is just watered down nonesense
3 stars is generous and I'm only giving that as It's great to see Russel Tovey on screen.
