Season 1 Review:
All in all, this show is best appreciated as a wild ride. Murphy excels at world-building, and his skills are on full display here. Yes, there are some annoying tics (like overusing the theme song), but the show, for all its faults, is still an immersive experience.

Season 1 Review:
Some storylines are meant to be poignant but are overwhelmed by the weirdness or feel exploitative, or the characters aren’t dimensional enough to move you. There are plot twists, of course, and rejiggerings, but it’s too obvious to be really terrifying; the game is given away early. .... At the same time, there’s enough nonsense, edging into ridiculousness, that the series might best be approached as a black action-comedy — at the end of the opening scene, the gendarmes are splattered with pieces of supermodel — or a very fancy B (maybe C) picture. “Star Wars” built an empire on the latter.

Season 1 Review:
For a while, watching the highlights are worth sitting through the lowlights. How many other shows can have an Emmy winner (Peters, so great on Mare of Easttown) casually deliver a line like, "an assistant editor at Vogue combusted in the Condé Nast cafeteria today"? But even in the early going, Murphy, Hodgson, and company struggle to find a narrative focus, and they let the story completely unravel by the end.
