American Horror Story

[Strat]

Ok that was a great finale. I ended up respecting the season but I definitely did not enjoy the ride as much as Season 1. I think i was partly at fault for the lack of enthusiasm. It was difficult for me to wrap my head around the fact that many of the same actors were used for the different roles. I kept expecting it to tie-in to season 1. After seeing the full arc of this season - I have more respect for it. I like what they are doing with the show that is "American Horror Story". In the end - the actors are fantastic and the show is completely fucked up and pretty original.

Season 2 was a let down overall only because season 1 was so fantastic but I really do enjoy how this season concluded.

Great show.

I can see that. In retrospect season 2 was okay; probably would have liked it more on it's own and it probably went a couple episodes too long. I would have liked to have seen more of James Cromwell's mutants myself. But after a slow start season 1 was so off-the-rails better-than-it-should-have-been fun that it's hard to compare the two.

i havent seen most of season 2 for different reasons, and i think ill pass.

Finished up Season 1 last night. Not particularly scary or suspenseful, but a few good moments, it just felt like I had seen all this before.

I found season 1 to be pretty enjoyable. Since then the cliché has been turned to 11.

[E.H. Ruddock]

This show is essentially just an R rated version of ABC's Once Upon a Time.

It seems like swapping in a new plot every season would keep it fresh and give them a chance to put their own spin on the genre classics. Like it would be cool if for the "asylum" season they use a series of different scaled, but otherwise identical sets to give a subtle visual clue to the effects the place is having on the mental states of inmates, but I worry it's just gonna be "crazy old doc and his freaky illegal medical experiments".

Anyone watching the new season?

[@SkitchP]

Im starting to watch this now.

[VinylGuy]

New season is pretty cool...only seen two chapters but so far seems like a very strong one.

I love the art direction of the whole series.

Im liking this season so far as well.

I only watched 3 of last season.

Season 1 is the best and season 2 was just fucking weird (and enjoyable)

I didn't really care for Asylum, but Coven seems off to a good start after 3 episodes. I feel like the characters and stories going on in Coven could be stretched into their own series, not just limited to a season.

I would have said this season been off to a slow start but this past week things started to get a little more interesting. Some great visual work though.

EW ran a quick article about characters from the Asylum season showing up in Freak Show. Apparently the writers claim they'll tie all the seasons together eventually. Interesting.

[Orpheus]

I love the anthology aspect of this show. They way they use the same actors to play different characters in particular is great. Interested to see how it all ties together.

Im pretty much in love with the young version of the maid so I spend a lot of time trying to convince myself that the old version isnt so bad.

That's not love your feeling buddy.

That's fine. I would rather not see things for what they really are.
