I generally like Ryan Murphy shows, but I barely finished the first episode and won't be doing more. It's like they took an hour of the worst toned parts of Glee, without the catchy soundtrack.
My wife and I are on episode 6 or 7 and I still can't decide if I like it or not. Some parts are extremely funny because of how ridiculous it is, and other parts are just super cringe and make me want to stop watching. The boyfriend reminds me a lot of Lance in Portlandia, and the dead guy reminds me of a young Superman.
Watched ep 1 tonight and I don't know if I'll go back. We generally try to give shows 3 episodes or so, but I did not enjoy it at all. Not sure how the fianc felt.
Watched the Pilot today. Love it. It's got that late 90s dark comedy vibe like Election mixed with Rushmore and drop dead gorgeous. Disappointed that it took me this long to find it - I only tried it because I saw zoey deutch is in it. I'll blame a poor title, bad poster and lack of marketing. I thought it was a gwyneth Paltrow led liberal political drama.
I'll see if it has legs for a full season. I did the same with You on Netflix where I loved the pilot and then slowly lost interest.
