Why Ryan Murphy's 'American Love Story' Is So Controversial

Showrunner Ryan Murphy is matched by few when it comes to shaping the modern landscape of TV with many hit, and often boundary-pushing, series under his belt. From the provocative American Horror Story to the revolutionary LGBTQ+ series Glee, and recent releases like Monster (which explored the infamous stories of Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers), Murphy is certainly comfortable tackling a wide range of subjects and genres, and is not one to shy away from controversy. Yet, his most recent project, an FX series chronicling the tragic romance between Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr., is already facing controversy despite the series not being set to release until Valentine's Day 2026.
