Bret Easton Ellis x Ryan Murphy = campy chaos (duh!) Say what you will, the two of them know how to keep you hooked & it's why FX's adaptation of #TheShards is frequently riveting, despite its surface-level dedication to the book's themes. My review:

The combined excess of Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis only cuts so deep in The Shards

The unwieldy, oddly compelling FX drama takes a few too many creative liberties with its source material.
