The Shards
The show
17-year-old Bret Easton Ellis is in his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending his world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.
It's a polarizing Ryan Murphy project, with people pretty split on whether this adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel works. The story about a teen Ellis (Igby Rigney) and the unsettling arrival of Robert Mallory (Homer Gere) is criticized for being messy and unoriginal, and the acting is a mixed bag. But the show looks incredible, and those who like it find a dark, stylish humor in its elite prep school setting.
