Bret Easton Ellis, the master of twisted youth angst from American Psycho and Less Than Zero, is back with a new TV show, The Shards, on Disney+ — a Ryan Murphy-produced adaptation that’s got star power but feels hollow. Critics say it’s too familiar, too blank, and doesn’t capture the razor-sharp satire of his novels. Meanwhile, Ellis’s legacy remains complex: once hailed as the voice of a generation, he’s since become a polarizing figure, loud on social media and occasionally self-indulgent — yet his dark, violent LA tales seem to resonate again in today’s fragmented storytelling landscape.
