Great Again

If this is the Final season of the American Horror Story series, I will be sadly disappointed because I have a great idea for Season 8. If the producers of this otherwise great series truly want their fans to experience unprecedented Horror, make them watch Season 7 "Cult" again and again, a la Clockwork Orange. The original story lines of AHS included Ghosts, Vampires, Serial Killers, and Witches, just to name a few. Each was familiar, yet unique, and every season gave us a new version of what we all expected, and Wanted to watch. This year, the production decided to offer up its own opinion by making it a political statement on peoples inattention to what is happening around them in their ordinary lives. This is NOT what the series is supposed to be. If the producers want to make a statement on the current social and political climate in America, then by all means do so, as you are entitled to free speech. However, please provide your opinions in a different venue, and restore AHS to its proper intention, to entertain its audience in traditional ways.

An absolutely stupid politically biased season. Some episodes completely lose the sense of the story. I'm not even talking about numerous plot holes and illogical characters' behavior. Well all in all they shouldn't have gone there. No wonder this season has the worst ratings. Just stick with haunted mansions and other paranormal stuff, you're doing it much better.

Ally Mayfair (Sarah Paulson) tries to move on with her life after Donald Trump wins the elections. But their fears are coming back to life when a cult starts a real massacre with political reasons.

No one was expecting a lot of this season after the announcements that it were given to promote the show, it seems to be a very political season. And yeah, it may be deeply a political commentary about fear but it's also a lot more. This season is by far one of the best seasons of the show. The cast is great and the two leading characters played by Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson are stunning, they gave an Emmy worthy performance.

The horror in this season is realism, it doesn't have supernatural creatures and that makes the season better, if you die here, you won't come back, never. There are stakes at risk in this season and the twists and turns shock me. This is a good season.

The only problem I got with this season is the ending. I felt that it was a little bit rushed, but it was a great season after all.

The highlights on the acting department this season are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Leslie Grossman, Adina Porter and Billie Lourd. This season gets 9 out of 10

Season 7 - Cult

Unexpected

The most original and unpredictable season so far. The first few episodes I was on the verge of giving up. It balanced on the edge of boring and I thought it was a cheap horror that totally misses the mark, but soon it turned out that my premature conclusions totally missed the mark and that there was something much more complex before me, which would not have occurred to me.

Under the guise of a silly horror cliché, the stage was set for an excellent social satire with phenomenal characterization and constant unexpected twists. Although it is not horror in the classic sense of the genre, this season is a mirror of the horror in which we live. "Cult" delivers a story that is fundamentally strong and impressive and I can't wait to see if the writers manage to surpass her in the following seasons.

8,5/10.

Ryan Murphy used to be a great writer and director. I was an early adopter of Nip/Tuck and appreciated his audacity to put on TV things most people squirm at.

However, like Nip/Tuck & even Glee, AHS has devolved into Murphy's agenda platform and everything suffers. The writing, the characters, even the "shock" has steadily dissolved into the Murphy has an ax to grind show. It's his show, he can do what he wants. But it's been all down him from Murder House. Wildly disappointed with the same old shtick. If you look at the review demographics, the only people rating AHS highly are the under 's who still think this kind of stuff is "edgy".

If you've seen one season of AHS, you know how this one ends. Hopefully it's the last time we have to settle for this tripe.
