Maybe it’s the music. The first trailer for the new Ryan Murphy-produced Netflix series Halston has arrived set to a goth version of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence.” In short, we’re creeped out.
Halston follows the rise and fall of the titular designer who became the face of American fashion in the 1970s and ’80s. Halston became known for his eccentric designs and use of celebrity models in his runway shows, and as a fixture at New York’s Studio 54. Drug addiction and personal woes sent his career into a tailspin by the mid-80s, with his fashion empire eventually stolen away by corporate deities. He died of AIDS in 1990.

Well, I’m getting that “close but no cigar” feeling, especially because of McGregor’s mannerisms… but I’m going to give it a try. I have Netflix, after all. I always know it’s a “no-go” when I start getting up from the TV to tidy up in the other room while the show is streaming.

I’m going to give it a try. Ryan Murphy at least puts out material that matters to some of us. I liked Feud. Certainly, being a horror fan, I enjoyed AHS. Pose, I watched the first season.

Good to see something from Ryan Murphy, might not be popular with the art house crowd but his output is always watchable and appeals to a broad church.
