American Horror Story : the transitions between seasons 1&2

the transitions between seasons 1&2

Was I the only one who was confused by the reuse of actors? For a few episodes I thought we were doing some backstories of people from the murder house. It wasn't until the third episode that I realized it was a completely different story. After that it all made sense. Just wondering if the first season change was confusing for anyone else?

Re: the transitions between seasons 1&2

It was confirmed sometime during season one that this was going to be an anthology series. We learned about the reuse of actors at the shows first appearance at Paleyfest.


Less than forget. But more than begun.

I see. I wasn't at paleyfest. I just started watching in the past year on Netflix. I'm only a few seasons in.

No.

Re: the transitions between seasons 1&2

OK. I just thought the most interesting thing about this show is that it's an anthology that has season to season story lines instead of show by show. I can't even think of another example of this.
So it should be a surprise for most, but maybe I just watch shows differently than most, or I was the only one who wasn't at paleyfest.

Re: the transitions between seasons 1&2

I wasnt at paleyfest either. I just read the description on IMDB before I started watching the show. It clearly states it's an anthology series.

Re: the transitions between seasons 1&2

I knew it was an anthology season when I caught it on Netflix, but I could see how it could be confusing. It's not like everyone reads up about a show on the internet before watching. I also thought season 1 didn't end on a clear ending. What's with that antichrist toddler amirite? That seemed like it could be a setup for another season.

Re: the transitions between seasons 1&2

No, it wasn't particularly confusing, however I was aware of the that it's an anthology series and the same actors will appear throughout in different roles.

Re: the transitions between seasons 1+2

I knew it was going to be a new storyline with the same cast because friends had told me about the show, but I can see how it could be confusing if you just started watching without knowing that ahead of time. I really wish they would go on with the antichrist storyline. A check-in with Murder House would be great because I really want to know if Violet and Tate ever make up. I love them together.
