Summer Streamin' 24 - Grotesquerie - Season One

Ryan Murphy is a busy man! Murphy works with Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken for a new horror series, Grotesquerie.

In the USA it streams on FX, however in Australia, it's just another Disney+ title I have been watching for the past month or so.

Starring Monster/Claws legend Niecy Nash-Betts stars as Detective Lois Tryon, so it seems Nash-Betts is now a Ryan Murphy staple.

Nash-Betts stars alongside Courtney B. Vance, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Micaela Diamond, Raven Goodwin, and Lesley Manville.

Only commencing late September, the series almost ran for five weeks airing double episodes weekly. However there were some weeks with a solo episode, others leading up to Halloween with doubles.

Also some episodes were short!

The series also stars Mr Taylor Swift, Travis M. Kelce as Ed Laclan! But what's it all about?

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.


There is an episode where it all flips on its head. Before then it was my favourite of Murphy's current series. That said I am not one of the gays who has watched the Menendez Brothers Monster series.

This was definitely a step up from the Nip/Tuck on a boat, Doctor Odyssey, however the twist made me think twice of how highly I could recommend this series.

Its horror, thriller with a touch of camp and racy storylines.

Murphy definitely has a bit of a sick mind with gruesome crimes along with horny nuns. All ten episodes of Grotesquerie, stream now on Disney+.
