Ryan Murphy's Netflix deal may actually be a good thing for FX, which has become too reliant on the uber producer

TV Guide

Despite other high-profile FX creators like Pamela Adlon, Donald Glover and Noah Hawley, FX seems defined by Murphy's work, says Kaitlin Thomas. "Murphy's projects have been well received by critics and fans and have gone on to produce multiple Emmy Awards for FX, but in recent years, it's also often felt like FX was relying too much on the producer to be the backbone of its schedule," says Thomas. "It's not to say this reliance was not merited — again, the quality of Murphy's body of work and the awards it has received speak for themselves — but Murphy's departure potentially opens up the door for new and distinct voices to find a home at FX too."
