Where to watch two new Ryan Murphy shows (that aren't Netflix's Monsters)

As a seasoned gamer of life with over a decade of binge-watching under my belt, I must say that Ryan Murphy has outdone himself yet again this fall. The sheer volume of content he’s churning out is nothing short of impressive!


Over the past few months, Ryan Murphy’s influence on small-screen entertainment has grown significantly. Known for creating groundbreaking shows like “Popular,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee,” and “American Horror Story,” he has introduced a plethora of fresh content to platforms such as Netflix this autumn season.

Initially, the shows “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” and “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” debuted respectively on FX/Hulu (Sept. 17) and Netflix (Sept. 19). Since their release, these programs have been dominating news headlines. Specifically, “Monsters” has climbed to the top of Netflix’s most-watched rankings, sparking numerous online discussions.

This season, Murphy’s TV reign continues as two highly anticipated shows debut simultaneously: the chilling new horror series, “Grotesquerie,” scheduled to spook you a day before the premiere of the procedural drama, “Doctor Odyssey.” But where can you catch these upcoming hits for the fall? Unfortunately, they won’t be streaming on Netflix.

Grotesquerie isn’t streaming on Netflix

The peculiar series named “Grotesquerie” kicks off with its first two episodes on Wednesday, September 25, airing at 10:00 PM Eastern Time on FX. You can also watch it streaming on Hulu the very next day.

To enjoy content on Hulu, you need to sign up for their service. The basic plan with ads is priced at $7.99 monthly, whereas the ad-free version costs $17.99 per month. Additionally, Hulu offers Live TV packages and combination plans with Disney+, as well as Disney+ and Max.

As a dedicated gamer, diving into the gripping narrative of this captivating series, I find myself playing the role of Lois Tyron, a tenacious detective in a small town haunted by grisly murders. The chilling mysteries surrounding these heinous crimes slowly convince me that the killer is toying with my very existence. With each step closer to unmasking the truth, the terror intensifies, leaving me on the edge of my seat.

Take a closer look at what to expect from the series in its official synopsis.

In Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode drama series Grotesquerie for FX, a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community. Detective Lois Tryon feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her.

At home, Lois grapples with a strained relationship with her daughter, a husband in long-term hospital care and her own inner demons. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan, a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. Sister Megan, with her own difficult past, has seen the worst of humanity, yet she still believes in its capacity for good. Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil. As Lois and Sister Megan string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.

The series, with Nash playing the lead character, also features Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville, Michaela Diamond, Nicholas Chavez (previously seen as a co-lead in “Monsters”), Raven Goodwin, and Travis Kelce from the Kansas City Chiefs who is also an aspiring actor. Be advised! The trailer suggests that this horror series will be quite graphic, making it ideal for the spooky season.

Doctor Odyssey isn’t streaming on Netflix

If you’re seeking a less intense read than “Grotesquerie,” then perhaps “Doctor Odyssey” is more your taste. This new show premiers on Thursday, September 26 at 9 p.m., both on ABC and ET/PT. You can also stream it on Hulu, or watch it on demand the following day.

In this brand new medical series, Joshua Jackson portrays Max Bankman, the shipboard physician. Even though they’re sailing in opulence across the sea, emergencies don’t pause just because they’re out at sea. Imagine Doctor Odyssey as a fusion of 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy , only this time, it’s all happening on a luxury cruise liner. Doesn’t that idea sound exciting?

Here’s the show’s official synopsis via ABC:

From the brilliant mind of Ryan Murphy comes high-octane procedural Doctor Odyssey. Max (Joshua Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.

Jackson heads up a stellar ensemble that comprises Don Johnson, Phillipa Soo, and Sean Teale from Netflix’s “Mother of the Bride”. A roster of esteemed guest stars for the initial season has been unveiled, including Shania Twain, John Stamos, Kelsea Ballerini, Gina Gershon, Cheyenne Jackson, among others. This show is poised to be one of the most anticipated new series during fall.

Since shows like “Grotesquerie” and “Doctor Odyssey” won’t be streaming on Netflix for now, keep an open mind as things might change. If you’re interested in watching some horror series on Netflix, consider adding “The Haunting of Hill House”, “Midnight Mass”, and “The Fall of the House of Usher” to your watch list. For medical dramas, give a try to “Grey’s Anatomy”, “The Resident”, and “Breathless”.
