I went through a period in my 20s where I read all of Jim Thompson and all of those writers. I just went through and through and through all of that stuff, so I was pretty well-versed in the medium and the genre. I've never really done a day-to-day procedural before, but we balance it out with the relationship stuff that keeps it grounded and keeps it interesting for me to do.
The new FX series The Beauty opens in Paris, as a model played by Bella Hadid strides down a fashion show runway to the tune of Prodigy's "Firestarter." Then, she starts to overheat, going on a rampage that involves grabbing bottles of water out of people's hands, stealing a motorcycle, drinking out of a toilet, and eventually meeting a gruesome, explosive end.
I try to be a sophisticated TV viewer. I watch as many miniseries as I can, keep up to date with the latest in Prestige TV, and make sure I don't miss out on any sleeper hits. However, I'm also self-actualized enough to admit that I love my fair share of slop. I religiously watch RuPaul's Drag Race, 90 Day Fiancé, and whatever weird reality craze has grasped pop culture.
According to the official synopsis, "The world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents "Cooper Madsen" (Peters) and "Jordan Bennett" (Hall) are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences."
