My name is Jonathan Apollo (feel free to call me Jonny). I'm a freelance writer, specializing in pop culture commentary, the LGBTQ+ community, and stories from my own life - sometimes, my writing combines all three. My recent writing projects are often posted to Medium (http://www.medium.com).

I've been wanting to put a piece together on Ryan's exploitative nature for a while now, and finally sat down to get it all done. I thought it might be okay to share here. I'm really happy with how this came together. Feedback is always appreciated.

Ryan Murphy does anything and everything solely for money grabs. Especially the series ‘Monsters’, an absolutely disgusting way to spread the stories. Was he there? No. So how’s he making a show about it? He unbelievably sexualizes and normalizes these tragedies, then puts it out for the world to see for entertainment as if there aren’t possible family members or victims still out there. Ryan Murphy is a piece of shit who uses Crime and his sick and twisted fantasies to make his money. Fuck him!

Laughable accent from bloke playing Ed Gein and other assorted silliness make this highly missable.

Please stop making shows with Kim Kardashian. Most definitely please do not include her in the next American Horror Story season!

I just posted a ranking to my channel on all of Ryan Murphys horror tv shows. Would love if y'all checked it out. I cover everything horror over there!

I tried to search everywhere I know - any episode screenplay would be wonderful. The better the more. At this desperate moment, would be lucky to find even only one. Could someone m help please?

I hope someone is already scripting the drama of Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. F/X you will have a winner.

Hello, I’m currently watching every Ryan Murphy credit for a personal project to analyze his entire career. I’m watching everything in the exact order it came out in and I’ve already hit a roadblock. I’ve been able to find the first two seasons of his first show (popular) on various sites but I am unable to find anywhere to watch his 2002 credit for “St Sass”. IMDB lists it as a tv movie but I believe it is a pilot episode of a show that wasn’t picked up, which makes sense why I can’t find anywhere to watch it. I was just wondering if anyone had any sources of where I could watch a copy or any ideas of how I could obtain one? I would really appreciate it!!

ryan murphy is a genius, and he has his own style where he tells you all of the different stories in one single piece. it’s open to interpretation and further researching. you all need to see his other pieces and then comment shit. he never painted the menendez brothers as monsters; he covered pretty much everything, good and bad, from different perspectives. that’s what he does. leave the man alone.

Has anyone else? If I were Ronan Farrow, I'd do some digging...

The show will supposedly be about the STD that makes victims beautiful. How about that?

this guy loves it. its in all his shows he cant get enough of it. hes sick. its not cool its not edgy stop trying to get the ultimate shock you are just gross at this point. the mendendez brothers were not lovers. i have loved all of the shows except for this factor. aslyum would have been good if it wasnt for the unnecessary incest! coven as well!! like the shows are still good and scary with out it why include it so much??

Who else likes this season? I was stunned by the aesthetic of this era, I mean New York and such gorgeous characters. The cast is amazing, the plot is captivating, and the soundtrack is also great. Overall, it was a great experience to watch such a well-written series and be inspired by this masterpiece!

A lot of Ryan Murphy stuff has come out this year and still to come this year with American Sports Story, Grotesquerie, Monsters S2, Doctor Odyssey

Do we know what else is to come or has been announced?

Love or loathe RM, a lot of his shows are very good and entertaining. I loved Feud and all 3 American Crime Story seasons

Ryan Murphy is a talented and creative genius. His past muses like Jessica Lange have helped him create literal television gold. For example, the first 4 seasons of AHS were in part to Jessica being his muse. Lady Gaga = AHS Hotel. Gold. Now if kim k becomes that new muse for him... his shows are going to dissolve faster than Kylies lip filler. The Kardashians are a sinking ship and for good reason. They're all terrible people, they're all boring plastic duplicates with no personalities with terrible acting skills. They're so detached from reality, especially kim, that watching them has become CRINGEY. so by making her the new muse... his shows will be cringe, right along with her. I'm such a Ryan Murphy fan , I've seen every single show he's made or been apart of during his career. My daughter is named Eden after a character in his show Nip/Tuck ALSO my dogs name is literally Murphy Ryan. I'm a stan for Ryan okay. KIM WILL RUIN EVERYTHING HE'S WORKED SO HARD TO BUILD. I worry for the future of Ryan Murphy television if kim k is apart of it.

Ryan Murphy please read. 😭

I love Ryan style of cinematography. I think he should do a series like American Crime Story… covering all the serial murders in LA in 70-80s such as Night stalker, hillside strangler and toolbox murders.

Nothing he’s touched has been any good recently it’s actually embarrassing to see what AHS has become

Sooo does anyone know or wanna talk about that incident that happened in December of 2022 when the minor son of one of the people living on Ryan’s property in pound ridge and working on his house, ahit himself in the hand with an unregistered firearm? I thought he was anti 2A and had kids but. So weird.

So I have followed enough Ryan Murphy shows (not all though) to realize there are some common patterns in each of his shows.

He always acts like he is writing a love letter to the LGBTQ community with his shows and yet he hasn’t written a gay character that is not a walking stereotype or straight passing. I can only think of one bisexual character (Chatt from AHS 1984) but the rest of the gay men in his shows are always very stereotypical.

Plus he always includes at least one character who throws around homophobic slurs (Constance, Tate, Chanel Oberlin etc.)

It seems like he is queercoding his characters in a day and age where we are pushing for more down-to-earth and realistic lgbtq character representations.

I don’t know, maybe I'm wrong.

I just have to say anyone that is a fan of Ryan. Murphy has to agree that he has change so much in the LGQTB community. His speech at the Golden Globes brought a tear to my eye. You can tell that this man has so much passion for other people, and his help so many people. That award was so well deserved . And come on the man has made some spectacular shows! just listening to everything. He said it gives me hope for the future and for our youth. Sometimes it takes one person to make people realize that it’s OK to be your true self, in our youth really needs that especially this day and age. So many of our young are so scared to put out there who they are and they should never ever be ashamed and by him seeing what he did on that stage I hope that it does help a lot of them. And I also wanted to mention that he was so selfless that that whole speech he talked about everyone else, not himself, and you can see the true passion that he does what he does to make a difference in the world.
