10 Best Horror TV Shows Of 2024

3. Grotesquerie

Ryan Murphy returns with a new slice of gamy horror, as Grotesquerie follows a detective (Niecy Nash-Betts) who teams up with a nun (Micaela Diamond) to investigate a series of horrifying murders. But American Horror Story this ain't, opting for a more gritty, grounded tone and largely leaving the wink-wink camp at the door. 

While it's fair to say that Murphy's new series is bluntly derivative of classic serial killer movies like Se7en - what with its killer's similarly theatrical approach to staging their crime scenes - it nevertheless ranks among Murphy's finest TV work in recent years.

Nash-Betts and Diamond make for a fierce, unconventional focal duo, the cinematography is fantastic, and while the ending is basically tailor-made to divide, the journey getting there is a ton of fun. 

For anyone burned out on American Horror Story, this is a refreshing change of pace.
