Part 9/11:
The Cultural Context and Industry Reflection
Murphy, once lauded for early seasons of American Horror Story, has seen his reputation decline with recent installments that lean heavily into LGBTQ+ themes and shock value, losing narrative depth. All Fair exemplifies this trend—an overproduction with little regard for storytelling quality, aimed more at stirring controversy and social media shares than genuine viewer engagement.
Ironically, even critics who typically favor progressive narratives have condemned the series, highlighting how All Fair falls into the uncanny valley of poor dialogue, stilted acting, and bizarre creative choices. The show’s style resembles a poorly executed social media trend—slick, superficial, and ultimately empty.
