Few days old but didn’t see it posted.

Netflix’s content has really been getting good lately, glad to see they aren’t slowing down.

Ryan Murphy, the creator of hit shows including Glee, Nip/Tuck and American Crime Story, has signed a $300m (£216m) deal to make shows exclusively for Netflix for the coming five years.

Well here comes another Ryan Murphy show! Get ready for Dream like lack of continuity/character development, random tone shifts, characters acting like they have multiple personality disorder (best friends today, enemies tomorrow etc..), constantly moving more and more into the absurd as time goes on. Yay!

If you want a huge audience, you have to dumb things down. Sounds like a perfect fit.

Yay more gay stereotypes!

Ryan is openly gay so I wouldn’t say he is making fun.

I know, he is not making fun he just uses the same 2 personalities for all his gay characters. The shy virgin and the confident ho, both are always sassy.

But still I watched The New Normal and it wasbuilt around those stereotypes

I don't remember who said it but it true that in Hollywood you fail upwards, AHS: Cult was the biggest pile of shit I've watched in a long time. At the end it became so incoherent and lost of any direction and purpose I couldn't even watch the last couple of episodes despite my morbid curiosity. Scream Queens and a couple of other shows he's written are are extremely mediocre.

Bingo, he really writes like a 15 year old wanna be writer excited about his first short story. He's just happy to write a really crazy story, it doesn't matter to him it makes absolutely no sense.

Netflix has had an amazing run of content. Hopefully this isn't a misstep.

Looks like gigantic waste of money. Also while netflicks originals are ok I'm way more using it to see movies I missed in cinemas or older classics and they will have to fill Disney sized hole in their lineup soon.
