American Horror Story is one of the two main series that Ryan Murphy is famous for. Much like Ratched, the tone is sinister, though as the title indicates, the genre is more horror/thriller.
All the seasons are individual storylines so if it gets too intense, you can skip a season. The show currently has nine seasons with a tenth season set to be released in 2021.The Politician is a dark comedy/drama following Peyton Hobart's road to becoming – like the title indicates – a politician.
The series has some recognizable patterns that often appear in a Ryan Murphy production – high school drama mixed with existential ennui.
