Queen of Pop 205 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I watched the first episode and I quickly got bored. It's typical Ryan Murphy, aka all style and no substance without any clear direction for where the plot will go The main guy is hot tho so go off i guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Evan said it was cause the show was getting too dark and depressing for him and that he wanted to do happier roles. That's why his character was funnier in Apocalypse Yeah, but who knows they are some degree of cousins. Getting back to the show, knowing it was from Ryan Murphy I even predicted some dialogue lines... Not good tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyniildisk 12,689 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Ryan Murphy thrives in dumb stereotypes and his work and style is tired, dated and washd up FEUD was amazing because it was kinda based on real events but VERY few american horror stories seasons are barely decent and Scream Queens season 1 remains his best creative fresh work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like he get these small ideas and decide to do a whole show about it. His latest shows are just not well thought imo. I'm waiting for Ratched tho but just cause i love Sarah and also i'm super excited about SQ, hopefully he won't f** it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpmcmill 1,881 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The main guy was hot, but the show wasn't that good. It jumped around too much, without a plot progression that felt natural. That being said... I'd probably watch a second season lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Stotch 4,457 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I don't think the show is bad... it's just too naive, like it portrays the 50's in an unreal way... not that it's bad thing, I just think he crossed the line on it being 'believable'.

Lona Delery 7,177 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 i loved the show. it is obviously meant to portray some kind of utopia, how it should have been and not how it was. it was really nice to see gay and black people win for once, even though it was pretty corny. i very much enjoyed the show Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want interesting plots. Same! It's such a recurring theme in his shows, I just find it annoying anymore. Also because the actors in those roles always look the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet many people could tell you who Billy Porter is or recognize him for the way he dresses for awards show or anything, but they wouldn't know the series or him being on it. Such a shame.

Guest Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The show started off good, with an interesting premise, a different approach in the old hollywood theme, bringing characters that were treated different and unfairly. I was excited to see where it would lead but I did not expect it to be this cheesy near the last two episodes. It was delusional & fantasy-like to bring Rock Hudson ... Spoiler At the Oscars with his lover, and saying along the lines "I'm not going to be like you, I'm not going to live my life not being brave enough to be who I am" I found that very very disrespectful to real life Rock Hudson, it insinuates (although I'm sure the writers didn't consciously think of that) that Rock was not brave enough to come out in the 50s. It's not about bravery, it's about survival, Rock had no chance to come out to a society that was not ready to accept homosexuality. Should he still be brave and should've done it? I personally think not. Then he held hands in the red carpet with his man, and no security guards come to stop them? Photographers keep photographing them without being super shocked, appalled and/or angry? Then the episode proceeds with those two sitting next to each other, and every minority winning an oscar but the white actor not winning anything. I'm aware it's a TV show, but this felt like a fantasy, so much so that I thought the only way this finale would be saved would be if one of these characters woke up from a dream. The next episode goes on with an actor playing the role of a homosexual now, and the character of Darren Criss (I never remember names) shooting it. So now they are changing the 50s with the movie "Meg" by having a black leading role which isn't that farfetched considering Dorothy Dandridge back in the day, but then they tell us "The KKK could be on our asses" etc, and it seems like there is an ACTUAL interesting conflict and threat that's completely ERASED in the final episodes, what a WASTE! And now they wanna tell us they'll change the whole view of homosexuality in the 50s with another movie. What a disaster, it was ridiculous to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
