In American Horror Story: NYC, Ryan Murphy just can’t let Jeffrey Dahmer go
American Horror Story is advocate — did you know? Amid the million other projects producer Ryan Murphy has been working on, he still found period to squeeze in a season of the beloved horror anthology. Like every preceding season of American Horror Story, this one follows a totally recent cast of characters (with some familiar AHS actors returning, like Zachary Quinto, Denis O’Hare, and Billie Lourd) in a brand-new setting. But also love with every preceding season of American Horror Story, there are some signature Ryan Murphy-esque motifs. In this case, it’s a spooky BDSM-style figure that may be a ghost but may also be killing people.
This season’s premiere is definitely more grounded and less splashy than previous ones, even with a deep foray into BDSM culture and the leather scene, and seems to have a poignant metaphor at its core. But there is a ghost that haunts it — and not the leather-clad spectral figure that’s been following some of the characters around — that could very skillfully undermine what the demonstrate is trying to undertake this season.

It starts as Ryan Murphy's most grounded season of "American Horror Story" yet, but there are already so many secrets and lies and hints of much worse to come.
It's probably been since the first season of "American Horror Story" that we've seen such a sluggish burn before the nuts begins, but there's still so much to unpack here.
Season 11 of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's horror anthology is definitely light on the supernatural or science fiction at this point, and instead seems to be focusing on the real-life horrors of being a male lover man in New York City in the 1980s.

View StoryTaking place in 1981, there are two looming threats to so many of the gay men who make up this season's cast so far -- though some of them may be a part of the danger themselves. Secrecy was certainly a bigger part of the LGBTQ+ experience then, with far less acceptance in society at large, and many of these men are really taking that to heart.
The first threat seems to hint around the corners of the real HIV and AIDS crisis that slammed into the gay community around this time, and was pr
We need to chat about Ryan Murphy.
The writer-director-producer came under fire in recent weeks for his latest project, the Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,and its portrayal of the serial killer’s real-life homosexual victims. Rita Isbell, the sister of Dahmer victim Errol Lindsey, has spoken out against the series and its use of her likeness and her brother’s story without her permission, while several Black crew members say the production gave them “PTSD.”
Murphy’s next plan on the docket is the latest season of American Horror Story,set to drop its first episode Oct. 19. This season of AHS will centre on New York in the 1970s and a serial killer targeting the queer community. Sound familiar? For those keeping track at home, that’s two back-to-back prestige “serial killer who targets queer folks” TV series from the same dude, which, frankly, is too many.
On the heels of Monster, AHS: New York seems almost a apex distillation of the Murphy formula, and I—along with many internet folks—fear it will be more of the same.

American Horror Story: NYC is a dreadful stain on the franchise
With the release of every modern season of the horror anthology classic American Horror Story (AHS), viewers are always hopeful for a season reminiscent of the early golden era of the series. Throughout the first four seasons of the series, AHS fans got a consistent stream of high quality camp and horror that every season since has tried to replicate. Many seasons have aired since then, but none have garnered the same acclaim as the earlier seasons
Unfortunately, the hunt for the next stellar season of AHS will not end with the release of American Horror Story Season 11: NYC. Despite a amazing cast of actors and a promising theme, it pains me to announce that Season 11 is an utter failure across the board. The season consistently struggles with pacing problems, a lack of character development, and an unwavering commitment to realism that saps the existence from every scene.
