The Shards

UGH IT WAS SO GOOD. At first, I didn't even think that I would like it (I just got curious and thought: Why not?) but oh my god I got ADDICTED immediately! There's something about the aesthetic of the 80s and the brutal reality of Hollywood and the Human mind and don't even get me started on the soundtrack! I absolutely fell in love with Bret Easton Ellis because of this show and want to read all of his books now :,) This is a masterpiece.

While i feel the populace is running out of interest for spoiled rich kids, maybe the Maga royal family has something to do with it, i'm still enjoying it; especially in the hands of Murphy, whose art direction and nihilist style i tend to massively enjoy. Modern-historic settings are nailed to perfection, amazing soundtracks, beautiful people, fluency in film language but it's not a very cerebral matter. In short: camp, i suppose, but the high artistic quality kind. Wes Bentley again very good

Enjoying the Bret Easton Ellis-ness of it so far; we’ll see if the Ryan Murphy-ness swallows the show alive by the end of the season.
