The Beauty is the latest Ryan Murphy collaboration with FX, and it has all the trappings of a Murphyverse favorite: gore, humor, A-list actors galore, and a very unique concept at the center of it all.

The series takes us to a futuristic world in which the title drug transforms its user into the most genetically perfected version of themselves, inside and out, healing all of their ailments and, well, making them beautiful at the same time. As with any brand-new pharmaceutical, there are a lot of questions still looming about its efficacy and, more importantly, safety, but the greed and determination of its profiteering Corporation CEO wouldn’t let that slow it down… until it backfired on him.
