Murphy has made a career of ghoulishly disgusting, tepidly moralising but quite amusing diversions. American Crime Story explores monstrous real-life felonies in glamorised retellings starring some of the most attractive actors in the world. He made the OG aesthetician drama Nip/Tuck, and the teen musical smash hit Glee. More recently, he delivered All’s Fair (about an all-female legal team led by Kim Kardashian), described by critics as one of the worst shows ever made. Next month, his Love Story will serialise the ill-fated relationship between Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the doomed prince of Camelot, John F Kennedy Jr.
