A new nine-part thriller adaptation has officially received its Rotten Tomatoes verdict. That's where Ryan Murphy comes in with The Shards, an FX and Hulu adaptation that blends serial killer suspense with young angst, and has just revealed its Rotten Tomatoes score. The Average of Rated Reviews, which accounts for critic reviews with letter or numerical ratings, sits at 6.30 out of 10. ScreenRant's review of The Shards by Graeme Guttmann argues that the FX series loses the novel's “bite.” Variety's Allison Herman, meanwhile, argues that Ellis' novel “is a feeling, and the Murphy version can’t capture it.”
