Grotesquerie, Disney+
The latest from Ryan Murphy is yet another horror drama series. Looks pretty good too.
Detective Lois Tryon must work with Sister Megan, a local nun, to figure out the source of a series of heinous crimes that is affecting both their community and their personal lives.
At home, Lois grapples with a strained relationship with her daughter, a husband in long-term hospital care and her own inner demons.
Sister Megan, with her own difficult past, has seen the worst of humanity, yet she still believes in its capacity for good.
Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil.
As they string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.
The cast includes Niecy Nash as Det Lois Tryon, Courtney B Vance as Marshall Tryon and Lesley Manville as Nurse Redd.
NFL star Travis Kelce - Taylor's Swift's fella - also makes his acting debut here.
