It looks as though Ryan Murphy has pulled out of his dive and is beginning to find his glorious groove again. The uber-showrunner reached a nadir last year with All\u2019s Fair, a legal drama that was so bad it was existentially awful, garnering a number of rare, zero-star reviews (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2025\/nov\/04\/alls-fair-review-kim-kardashian-divorce-drama-is-fascinatingly-existentially-terrible\">including mine<\/a>) and which has duly been commissioned for a second series.<\/p>\n<p>But after All\u2019s Fair came <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2026\/jan\/22\/the-beauty-review-ryan-murphy-body-horror-disney\">The Beauty<\/a>. Which was chaotic and underdeveloped but fun. And then there was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2026\/feb\/13\/love-story-john-f-kennedy-jr-carolyn-bessette-review-disney-plus\">Love Story<\/a>, about the short lives and love of JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette, which was pitch-perfect, properly good trash. And now there is The Shards, Murphy\u2019s adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis\u2019s 80s-set metafictional\/autobiographical novel of the same name. I have not read the book. An enfant terrible\u2019s reminiscences are too often simply terrible and I was exhausted by the very idea. But a TV version? Run through the Murphytron? That sounds like a very good idea \u2013 and so it has proved. Theirs is a marriage made in pop-culture heaven.<\/p>\n<p>The Shards is on Disney+<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2026\/aug\/05\/the-shards-review-ryan-murphy-bret-easton-ellis-disney\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/2026\/aug\/05\/the-shards-review-ryan-murphy-bret-easton-ellis-disney\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\">Read More<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/d70eed4454c1ca843a88428451084b9f17ebc5a5\/102_32_1274_1019\/master\/1274.jpg?width=140&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=805ce7f487f8f7ea2ab6dfd3c41bd39f\" title=\"The Shards review \u2013 murder, 80s mayhem and the Ryan Murphy comeback we\u2019ve been waiting for\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murphy is back on form with this gorgeously curated, shot and scored adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis\u2019s novel \u2013 about a serial killer stalking privileged LA teenagers The world can finally begin to hope again.
