Showrunner Ryan Murphy has his hands in plenty of projects at the moment, and just signed a massive Netflix deal — here are all of his shows, ranked.

Top showrunner Ryan Murphy signed a five-year deal with Netflix, reportedly worth $300 million dollars, in a major win for the streaming service.
Murphy has created such hit shows as "Glee," "Feud," and "American Horror Story," and has a bevy of content still on the way, including a "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" prequel for Netflix starring Sarah Paulson as Nurse Ratched.
We ranked all of Murphy's shows past and present based on Rotten Tomatoes critics scores.

Here are his major shows, past and present, ranked from worst to best by Rotten Tomatoes critics scores:

We broke ties with audience scores, and his first show, "Popular" in 1999, had no score. Rotten Tomatoes also takes the average of each season's score for the show's score, which is the number we used. We decided to separate the two seasons of "American Crime Story" because they are so wildly different, whereas the seasons of "American Horror Story" are far more connected.
