Ryan Murphy's 'The Beauty': A Deadly Virus That Makes You Gorgeous

Ryan Murphy's new series, "The Beauty," is a major return to form. It follows a lethal, sexually transmitted virus with a bizarre side effect: it makes its victims incredibly beautiful. This comes after Murphy's last show, "All's Fair," was widely criticized. That series received a rare zero-rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes. In contrast, "The Beauty" features a coherent plot and realistic characters. The show is a body-horror story that also comments on modern society. It stars Isabella Rossellini and involves exploding supermodels. The series recalls Murphy's successful earlier anthologies like "The People v. O.J. Simpson." It blends horror, social observation, and a signature stylish flair.
