Summary
Featured reviews
American Horror Story was a brilliant show in the early years, and I've watched some seasons on repeat, especially Hotel.
Sarah Paulson was one of the most talented, dynamic actors consistently throughout all of the different narratives and characters.
I was not excited at all about Double Feature or NYC, and Delicate is just bad. It's awful. If I had never seen American Horror Story before and only watched Delicate, I would give it one star.
All good things must come to an end, and Ryan Murphy just didn't know when to stop. At least we'll always have Coven.
Seasons like Murder House and Asylum showcased the talents of Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters, creating unforgettable characters that kept audiences hooked.
And then the audacity of casting Kim Kardashian, seriously? Her nonexistent acting skills are coming off more like a publicity stunt. Honestly, it feels less like a casting decision and more like a desperate ploy for ratings.
I used to LOVE this show. Such a disappointment.
American Horror Story writers- don't bank on cult following to have viewers continue watching - Perceiving as long as you have some gore and an iconic theme you can avoid good story telling and saturate us with political agenda. We can flip on the news, we want entertainment and your viewers are smarter than this. This is a good way to kill a show, and unlike many of your characters it won't come back to life and the series will go out in flames like Dexter!
I highly recommend the early seasons though so I'm still rating it highly. It was innovative and unique. I looked forward to the episodes every week. The cast, acting, and the writing were all phenomenal. There were fan theories that they all tied together which made it even more interesting. If they would've ended it on top it would be a 10/10.
Did you know
- TriviaSarah Paulson's reporter walk-through scene in "Asylum" was pulled directly from actual footage of Bill Baldini's exposé piece on Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. Baldini's work led to the closure of Pennhurst and the release of all of its patients. Pennhurst is now the location of a seasonal haunted house and has been featured on numerous shows, due to the reported extreme paranormal activity in Pennhurst's buildings.
- GoofsFrances Conroy ("Old" Moira O'Hara) is right-eye dominant. Many times you can see that she, as Moira, is focusing on the object she's looking at using her "blind" right eye instead of her left eye.
- Quotes

Cordelia Foxx: Any last words?
Myrtle Snow: Only one. BALENCIAGA!
