[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 238838, member: 5079"] This; definitely, this. Putting aside the "why?" question about the show's premise -- and I think these back stories for great villains usually end up lessening them and removing their mystique -- I think Murphy's shows are more miss than hit. When they're good they're [I]very[/I] good, but usually they're the opposite of that. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, or at least a TV show by its trailer. If so, this one doesn't bode well and looks like typical Murphy: slick visuals; self-consciously quirky; meandering narrative; wildly inconsistent tone; and some great actors set loose to be self-indulgent and actor-y. Someone let me know if I'm wrong and I'll check it out ... [/QUOTE]
