The Morning After

So far disappointing plot - wise, but a cool twist in the last minutes of the episode that had me "whoa". I would LOVE more scenes like that instead of all the gay stuff and drama that populated the rest of the screen time.

My God. I LITERALLY FELT EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THIS ENTIRE EP. It was GLORIOUS, true arthouse. The intensity is engulfing. The entire episode was dripping with heat and sensuality -- you could cut it with a knife. Jennifer Lynch is an incredible director, you can tell she is a perfectionist. EVERYTHING is BEAUTIFUL, INTENSE and so meticulously done. This episode literally pulled me into a dark dream world that I don't EVER want to leave. I have NO idea what those other couple reviewers speak of, this was in NO way "slow", the pacing was actually utter perfection -- it lingered, it teased, it seduced, it humiliated, it enraptured -- and was EXTREMELY effective. I suppose if you have A.D.D or are used to fast-paced action films with explosions and all that crap, this moving art piece may be too much for you to digest. There were so many tiny nuances and details in this work to appreciate, I could go on forever. The writing/script for this ep was utterly flawless as well, mastercrafted. PLEASE GET JENNIFER LYNCH TO DIRECT MORE EPISODES, AHS! Screw B-Movie and TV horror, go arthouse horror all the way!

4 out of 5 stars.

More mystery is revealed. And a shocking twist about one of the lady who is in control of the compound. Langdon motives and weird interviews with the people there are odd. Entertaining thats for sure.

I gave the opening episode for the season a 3 out of 10 and this episode a 6 (6.5) out of 10 as it was an improvement on its previous episode.

The Morning After is more centered around horror rather than shock value like episode 1 tried to pull off. We start to get a taste of supernatural with a sense of magic looming around the compounds while Langdon is in the bunker. Not only are we treated with a creepy undertone we also get to see how our characters are developing.

Venable is more likeable in this episode than before and so is Mallory. Coco and Gallant still aren't as characters and Timothy Emily and Andre are all pretty stale so far. Lastly we have Evie and we get to see her true colors this episode making her two faced easily something to hate which is also why she seems to be a fan fave. She steals the show with her personality pretty easily.

A rendition or throwback to a season one character makes an appearance but he isn't exactly the same person underneath it all and that is quickly known right away when he appears.

The ending scene is something to shock and awe and leaves you asking for answers. This season might make up for the last two seasons but with a rocky start we'll see how much they can accomplish before the teased game changer with episode 6.

Overall very disappointed with the lack of plot development and an intriguing story.
