Nip-Tuck foreshadows the edgy cinematic look and content that is being displayed in American Horror Story. In a way both of these shows revolutionized the way that television is viewed. Murphy and Falchuk never cease to push the limits in what can be gotten away with.
But how? Sure, controversy follows them like a newborn duckling but the ever increasing higher tolerance of the American people tends to reflect the amount of content that is pushing the limit. In other words, as we watch more killing and violence, we become more conditioned to it.
Nip-Tuck did a great job of giving it's audience content to analyze. What Murphy and Falchuk can do where others fail, is delivering that "controversial" content in a way that the audience feels uncomfortable but wants more. They are able to take a subject that is buried in taboo and present it to "outsiders" like a zoo of our own inner fantasies.
American Horror Story was foreshadowed and so will the next shows that be created by this duo. They have realized that their own creations are effecting the industry that they work in. As time goes on television will continue to push the limits. As the limits are being pushed, it will get the public ready for the next round that is bound to show up.
I look forward to continuing to watch these shows and to see what Murphy and Falchuk will come up with next.
