If you think "I need to hear it from Rachel Maddow, shes the only one I trus"t wasn't satirical then I don't think there's hope for you. That line set the expectation that this would be over the top hysteria. That said, I think it should have been more subtle, she's getting too annoying about it.
The first episode sets up what could be a very weird season. Some seem to think the show is being politically biased, but in reality it's just using the supreme weirdness of the election and its aftermath as an element of character development. Rather than a fault, this already makes the story complex and of the moment. Looking forward to next episode. And who doesn't love Twisty and the other Krazy Klowns?
This season was very good. An excellent portrait of the situation that the USA experienced shortly after Trump's election and the paranoid and hateful behavior that took over the average and/or ignorant American. The country really went crazy. And it hasn't improved much 7 years later, since whoever succeeded him, Biden, a weakling, hasn't improved the lives of the 36 million Americans who live in extreme poverty today. After all, his focus is solely on enriching the weapons industry. That said, we have this season of AHS dealing with the topic in a very convincing and faithful way, showing how irresponsible politicians can indoctrinate a large part of a population, especially those Intellectually unprepared for a civilized debate and understanding of political contexts. Once again Sarah Paulson delivers a great performance, with great help from the excellent Evan Peters and Adina Porter. Apart from that, we have the "AHS brand" section, the graphic violence that always excites, despite trying very hard to link fictional violence to political issues. Still worth it. My average rating for the season is 8.
The fascinating thing about this series and these reviews of it is the total lack of self-awareness of the MAGA/Trump brigade. Guys, you're the ones who are hyper-partisan, you're the ones who are biased, you're the ones who worship cancel-culture. How about putting on a LALL cap? LIVE AND LET LIVE.
This is the scariest season ever, because it has YOU as the main character . It doesn't matter if you're left or right. I know I'm right. Violence? You are the clown. You need to THINK!
