Previous guest judges, like professional dancers Cheryl Burke and Kym Johnson, offered valuable advice and technique critiques, but that level of detail should be a regular part of the judges’ feedback, not just reserved for when a former pro appears.

Ryan Murphy’s shows fall into a few different types. Some, like Glee, Scream Queens, and Doctor Odyssey, are over-the-top and campy. Others, such as Nip/Tuck and 9-1-1, focus on dramatic relationships and personal stories. He also creates genre-bending shows like American Horror Story and Grotesquerie. More recently, Murphy has explored American culture, particularly our fascination with true crime, through his anthology series Monster, which he created with Ian Brennan. At his best, Murphy expertly blends lowbrow entertainment with compelling storytelling, crafting fast-paced plots, memorable characters with sharp wit, and often provocative scenes. His show All’s Fair is a perfect example – it’s fun and engaging, but ultimately leaves you feeling both satisfied and a little overwhelmed.
