A whole bunch of new Ryan Murphy shows coming to FX

[just444]

FX just slaps an “American Story” title on new Ryan Murphy shows while Netflix pays him 9 figures for “exclusivity.” A truly fantastic hustle all around. https://t.co/17Ks8bfOe6

the devil himself

It’s about time there was some kind of behind the scenes expose on Glee. What we’ve heard about what went on is wild but I bet it’s tip of the iceberg stuff.

Seriously if it’s ever done I will be finding a stream and taking the day off work. It will be amazing.

yet he gets lauded for casting lgbtq (white...except Pose) and older women characters

Well considering he's the only one casting such actors, then I'll take Ryan over any of the other str8 white bozos that only cast str8 whites y'all continually support. Shake my damn head at the lies, as if he doesn't have a wide range of non-white actor and BIPOC lgbt folks too. Of course all of that goes into the trash because y'all hated some other element of his work.

He takes great concepts for series and ruins them.

[burntxtoashes]

numerous reasons but:
- he's not a good showrunner. he can write a decent show for one season and thats it
- wrote way too many personal jabs in glee (giving finn's dad a drug problem, making fun of chris colfer's appearance)
- enabled lea michele

[drbat]

I don’t think Finn’s dad had anything to do with Cory.

[burntxtoashes]

idk, someone said apparently it was after he'd opened up about his own issues? it just seemed like the show had way too many jabs that were just conicidences

[ljtryout]

(giving finn's dad a drug problem, making fun of chris colfer's appearance)

tlf, that wasn't just him. we had ENTIRE POSTS here about him singing without teeth.

[burntxtoashes]

yeah thats true, but i remember naya saying something about how uncomfortable it made her/how she didn't want to do that one scene in the hallway.

[ionadelfina]

Glee was racist as all hell and that comes from the top

[sadmagikarp]

[truth_and_facts]

Because he's gay!

I might say that half jokingly but honestly I think it's the truth, folks here love and support other film makers who don't even bother with BIPOC, older women and lgbt folks but somehow they hate ryan for one or two elements in his many stories, and his efforts towards a more equitable film/tv scene. Oh so you didn't like one story arc for one character, then yeah he's trash and should stop employing hundreds of folks who otherwise won't have chance in hollywood.

It's ridiculous, it's like hating the person trying for not being perfect but praising the person that didn't even bother, since they aren't trying....like make it make sense.
