GamerTab That was an excellent one.
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
knightkp The first show was intriguing and entertaining, it had depth with many twist and turns as well as suspense and good character development. The end was a great surprise. It seems after its success, the network wanted more shows so the writers grab for ideas that were either cliche or lacking any imagination. The shame of it is, they used a very good concept to push social agenda that is way out of sinc with a sophisticated audience. The attempt to appeal to a very minor audience has spoiled the intire series. What a shame.
ryan-44110 Marked this as possible spoilers, just in case. I was pleased with Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 6. Very good scares, and average to above-par plots/writing. Seasons 4, 5, and 7 were awful, however. In particular, 7, mainly due to the ridiculous amount of political overtones. The first few episodes are nothing but negativity towards anything Trump, painting all Trump supporters as monsters, and racist bigots. Most of it is meant to set up a satire plot to bring to light all the inherently stupid accusations both left and right think of one another. This is not really the issue. We're shown an even amount of political cannibalism (eventually), but the one issue I have, that the producers and writers can't drop is their rise against the (imaginary) patriarchy. Even in season 6, the idiot girl who goes into the woods with her two friends mentions it. This leads me to believe that this is actually a point the writers are attempting to get across to the viewer, and not just framing more narrative for the show's topic at hand. This sort of divisive garbage hollywood keeps feeding us is exactly why I see no need to pay for cable tv, or watch movies in theaters anymore. I'm not subscribing to that garbage rhetoric, and neither should you.
TerribleKatherine I have watched the series right from the beginning. I endured Taissa Farmiga's constant "a hipster deer caught in the head lights of a car"-expression, I endured the 3rd season "Coven" which was boring, but on the other hand I have enjoyed Jessica Lange's and especially Evan Peters' and Sarah Paulson's acting and seen some awesome horror and gore. But.. when Lady Gaga came in to the picture, I was terrified that the show would turn into a Gaga feature video, so I didn't continue with the series. I gathered strength and waited until I was ready. And about a month ago I entered the Hotel. That was a mistake, as I predicted. the Hotel is even worse than Coven was, ten times over. Gaga just sucks the energy out of every scene and I'm guessing that's because she is actually Lady Gaga in every scene instead of being the character she is supposed to be. I wouldn't be surprised if some episode started with a Gaga dancing and spreading her crotch to the camera. Until the Hotel, I would've given 8 or even 9/10, but now.. I'm being generous and give it a 6.
GypsyKing878 The first few seasons of AHS were absolutely thrilling (mainly seasons 1 and 2). The characters were believable, the story was grounded and realistic, it was mysterious, enticing, bizarre and genuinely creepy unlike later seasons. Then came season 3. Despite Season 3 being substantially better than seasons 5, 6 and 7, Season 3 was (at least for me) where everything started going downhill. (season 4 was actually pretty enjoyable despite being a bit messy) I won't go into any details about the last few seasons because I honestly wouldn't know where to start, but I think it's quite obvious that the show has been gradually losing steam, which really is a shame because there was a lot of potential.
