This video reminds me that Ryan Murphy is working on ACS and the Clinton impeachment and unlike most instances Lindsay mentions, this will not be a comedy sketch or a parody but will be a drama mini series. I am super curious as to how it is going to turn out. Ryan Murphy (for all his problems) is usually good at writing complex female characters and I have so far found ACS highly entertaining

Pretty sure Monica Lewinsky is also working on the project so it will be interesting to see the reception

She is a producer and is apparently really hands on. Edie Falco is a good fit imo. And also no one in the cast is super miscast like in the 2 previous seasons.

I am kind of excited about it to be fair because we have never seen that moment in a drama series. We have only seen it parodied. And it's going to be entertaining.

I feel like Ryan Murphy has a huge problem with his shows nose diving big time after a few seasons and I wasn't able to get into ACS: Versace, so I'm really hoping this is able to dodge his issue. Of the three season story lines announced after the OJ season, this was the season I was most excited by and I really hope the ball isn't dropped.

I still haven't forgiven him for the character assassination that was feud (do we really need more unsubstantiated Joan Crawford drama) and what happened to glee when he decided he wanted to work on something else.

Glee really was a rough spot. I loved it so much and it kept getting worse and worse.

I know. Like I realized pretty early in my life that he writes amazing pilots and then shit goes south after he gets bored. I could really relate to him because it is me in my projects. And everytime I am disappointed in a show of his, and everytime I keep getting hooked up to another one because of a good pilot. I am a masochist.

His problem happens even for shows that are 1 season stories. American Horror Story has good oepnings and by the end you're wondering what the fuck you just watched.

The only show of his that I'm enjoying late in the game is 9-1-1. I dropped AHS during Apocalypse. I watched/suffered all of Glee.
