Great Again

Extremely empowering to see someone who has suffered a trauma develop resiliency and stand up to her abuser. Love the message the episode sent.

This may not be a popular post. I might get some unhelpful votes but this way my takeaway from it.

Kai is imprisoned and has already several violent followers. When the weak and coward Trevor Geary asks to join his crew, he swears loyalty to Kai and hears why Kai was arrested. He is preparing his cult to kill one hundred pregnant women, when Ally brings the FBI to arrest his cult. The lesbian Ally now has a new girlfriend, Erika, and is preparing Oz's birthday party. Now Ally decides to run to be Michigan's senator. She schedules a debate with Senator Herbert Jackson. Meanwhile, Kai escapes from prison and heads to kill Ally during the debate.

"Great Again" is a milestone of "American Horror Story", since this episode marks finally the end of the awfullest season of this series. The short storyline was extended along eleven episodes, using sex, violence and stupid scenes to prolong it. The last episode has several plot holes. For example, how the physically weak would join strong criminals in prison using his blah, blah, blah. Prison is on another level. Why and how did Gloria meet Ally before the debate? How could Ally trust that Kai would pick the gun offered by Gloria? My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Great Again"

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.
