I freaking love the episode, just like I loved seeing how kai recruited the members of his clown gang I enjoyed Kai's back story with his parents, the episode was great the newscaster and cameraman kills were great and the whole attic part was gruesome, top tier episode as good as it gets
Just when the show might get too boring to continue, they throw a bunch of bad actors into a room with one good actor and hit the purée button. We're back to Sarah Paulson's bad LSD trips. Why do they dress their kid like a senior citizen?
I'm by no means an expert on cults, but I'm fairly certain they don't work like this. The time jumps are getting annoying. Now we're ripping off Hitchcock- this part was actually kind of clever.
The problem with this season is that the first 4 episodes were so over-the-top ridiculous that now that the show is trying to return to AHS form I have zero investment in the characters.
I read the criticisms that the first few episodes were just Sarah Paulson screaming, but at least that was funny. I'd rather watch her lose her mind over fireworks or hearing a toilet flush than the slow drama between these literal clowns.
Okay, angry flashback dad is pretty entertaining in an otherwise dreary episode. The pinky-swears are getting out of hand, and the reveals don't make sense under even light scrutiny- everyone in this show should have been arrested 17 times by now.
The most redeeming quality of this season is it's so tone-deaf and on-the-nose that it's unintentionally funny, and this was the first episode that seemed like AHS, resulting in a boring-bad instead of an entertainingly-bad episode.

The reporter Beverly Hope broadcast the disappearance of Meadow and interviews Kai. Bob questions how she is the one to scoop every case and why is she promoting Kai. She questions why he did not show the footage of Serena's murder, and he fires her. Kai learns that his campaign has improved due to the fear of the population, and he decides to kill Bob. Ally misses her family, imagines bugs and holes in her face and has a consultation with Dr. Rudy. Ivy joins Kai's group and invades with them the house of Bob pretending they are a satanic cult worshipping Satan and chanting "Ave Santana" in Latin. They kill Bob and his "slave" in the attic dressed like clowns. Beverly Hope broadcasts Bob's murder and shows the video Kai recorded saying that she received by email. Then she meets Kai at Ivy's restaurant and tells him that there is a weak link in their group. Ally finds Meadow inside a grave asking for help in Harrison's backyard and calls Ivy to tell her without knowing that she is with the cult. Meadow knocks at her door saying that they are all involved in the cult including Ivvy. Kai ties R. J., who would be the weak link, at a chair and asks Ivvy to be the first to use a nail gun to kill him. Then each cultist does the same until Kai kills him. While talking to Beverly, Kai discloses the story of his life, when his father was shot by his mother that commits suicide immediately after shooting him. Further, Rudy is his brother, who asks him and Winter to leave the corpses on the bed to continue to receive the money his father received because of his disability and avoid bad publicity for him.
"Holes" is another episode of "American Horror Story" where the annoying Ally cries most of the time. Kai's group of clowns and cultist is increasing their evilness, and he discloses to Beverly when his madness apparently began with the death of his parents. The viewer also learns that Dr. Rudy Vincent is the older brother of Kai and Winter. It is amazing how wicked the members of Kai's group are. My vote is six.

Never been so disappointed and bored. Full lack of fantasy content. This season is here only to prove it's for adults, sex is unuseful for the plot, violence is free and predictable. It's empty.
Ummm... for those of you that were turned away from this season because of the politics. Come Back! The season has turned a corner and is now as strong as ever (You can skip episode 2 though). 11/9 was great but Holes takes another step forward. We get more needed backstory and everything is starting to piece itself together.
To be honest this season is actually shaping up to be one of the better ones. We are given a good villain that we have a little sympathy towards, and his cult members have their own person goals and are not just a bunch of goons that can't think for themselves. Are only main problem now is the protagonist is a little too helpless. Hopefully there are more people in the town willing to fight the clowns, because Ally and crew may not be enough.
8.7/10 seems about right.
