At this point, you know what you’re going to get with Ryan Murphy. From The Politician to Grostesquerie to the fascinatingly watchable (and terrible) All’s Fair, a “Ryan Murphy show” is now a subgenre in and of itself. Now, Murphy is taking this formula and applying it to sci-fi with a strange series called The Beauty. FX/HuluJudging by the trailer alone, this may be one of the strangest sci-fi shows of the year, and we’re only a few days into 2026. The allure of Ryan Murphy shows is just how frothy and over-the-top they are.
