Millions of us felt similar that night, did we have to be reminded? Not sure where the plot is headed, CULT must refer to believing as the character KAI does, and the little "pinky swear" must be the acceptance into the CULT. But the hysterics of Sarah Paulson's character was a little over the top, her wife doesn't seem very sympathetic, and we'll be annoyed at how no one will believe their little boy. Loved the return of Twisty; pretty gruesome stabbing, ugh. And Chaz Bono fits right in. I'm hoping for some "twist" to the storyline away from politics. I'm more interested in REAL corruption going on in the White House; the REAL stuff is a horror in itself. I hope the show gets better.
Wow. This was a so bad it's good type episode. I was laughing almost the entire time because of how incredibly ridiculous it was. I can't believe that Ryan Murphy expects us to take this seriously - this honestly has to be some kind of satire. The writing was absolutely atrocious, seemingly in a failed attempt at being edgy and cool. I can't identify with such unlikable and poorly written characters, none of the characters in this had any of my respect since they are all so stupid and over-the-top. Billie Lourd is playing the exact same character from Scream Queens, which worked for that since it's tongue-in-cheek, but I can't take it seriously in AHS. Also why did Paulson agree to this? She is so much better than whatever this was trying to be, as proved in People v. OJ. The ending actually looked almost promising, but the last few seconds completely destroyed my intrigue.
I'll keep watching the season for the so bad it's good cringe factor, but I don't expect it to get any better. I hated Roanoke the most out of all the AHS seasons, but now I kind of miss it.

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!
I was quite shocked to read here all the bad reviews by Trump supporters. This series is about modern paranoïa and fear inspired by bad politics. Why do you act like you were threatened by a work if fiction?
Personnaly, I think that this episode is one of the best ever. Original, well shot, well acted.
