Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I loved it and I'm sad it;s over.
Little tip though...
Drum roll pease...
The entire show from the get go has been an homage to horror movies.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Freak Show has been overtaken. I didn't want to ever be disappointed with this show. It makes me sad.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I agree with Gabriel. Coven was by far the worst. There was absolutely no "Horror". We were watching "Witches 90210". It should have been on the CW!
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Witches 90210
LOL
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Ok I do completely get what you're saying re 90210 but I don't think its fair to say there was absolutely no horror,I think there was lots.
I really enjoyed Coven.
Although there's been rain and it's coming again
Change has to be here obviously

I would certainly enjoy some examples of this claim.

Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Serial killer The Axman,resurrection, zombies,black magic,the sadism of Madame Delphine,decapitation...
I hope you enjoyed those examples!

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Hmm well I guess when I see horror defined as "seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on their fears" maybe some of that was attempting that? I don't think any of that came across as terrifying. Delphine just came off disgusting. I guess there were some attempts at horror so thanks for the list but it didn't register as horror when I watched it.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Well I think the things I listed are commonly defined as "horror",as per your definition.
Sometimes disgusting is horrific, I think what she did to her slaves was horrific and by extension disgusting.
We could spend hours arguing over whether it was indeed horror and we'd most likely disagree
I think it's fair to say it's subjective.
What I would say is that Coven does come across as a more "tongue in cheek" or even humorous type of horror at times.
I do get why people don't like it but I did.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I think the things listed were horror elements, but they way they are presented are what make it actually horror. Coven just seemed to gloss over horrific things with a lightheartedness.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I think AHS has always been cut with dark humour.
I do think it's fair to say that the idea that there was no horror whatsoever was a little bit of an exaggeration!

I think it's unfair to say there was "no horror" and that there was "lots of horror."

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Well I gave you 8 examples of horror that appeared in that season of AHS and that was just off the top of my head. So yes I feel that does amount to a lot.
It's fine to disagree about this and I've already said I understand why it didn't appeal to some.
Personally I quite like horror tinged with humour, things like Fright Night,The Faculty or Society which manage to be horrific and funny at the same time.

I agree that there are horror themes in this, and quite a bit of dark humour.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Maybe something we can all agree on is that AHS does horror and humour.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Amen! What a mess.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
My roommate watches this, and I do work on my laptop in the living room while paying half attention to this show. It is some of the most god-awful garbage I have ever seen. I have no idea how people can watch this crap.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I have no idea how people can watch this crap.
I dont know how people can watch reality tv but guess what - I dont need to know. Last time I checked this was the free world and people are free to like whatever they want. If the show is so deplorable to you maybe take your tippy tappy back to your bedroom and leave your flatmate in peace. Easy peasy japanesy.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Well, you've been paying the show only half of your attention. If you gave the show your full attention, you would realize it's quite a delicious treat. Remember, shows and movies are made for entertainment. You're free to be a self-appointed director and miss out on fun and funny tv shows.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I enjoyed it immensely, I felt the season was quite cohesive and I liked the elements of horror. If it wasn't for you, that's fine.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I really liked it because it was different but the end sucked hard.
It should have ended at the 9th episode with the kids or the actors on stage in hindsight about what was to come. Then ended it there...

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
You'd literally described EVERY season of this show...
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I don't know I found Hotel rather lackluster at times .
I actually preferred this season to Hotel it was more engaging ,intriguing,and consistently twisted.

It was no La La Land, that's for sure.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
Would you recommend it to someone who doesn't particularly like musicals? The aesthetics of it look great and it has an awesome cast so I might check it out.

Absolutely 100%. I brought my boyfriend who isn't at all a musical fan, and he was standing up and clapping with the rest of us after the opening number.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I'm up to episode 9, it is easily the worst of all the series, no likeable characters, no drama, no tension, every episode is basically a repeat, leave the house, see something horrible, scream and go back to the house. Or see something horrible in the house, scream and go into another room where the horror will temporarily stop.
Horror story used to have me whacking the next episode on coz I couldnt wait to see what happened.
This one had me struggle to watch the first few episodes then rush out the remaining to get it done with. I only kept with it coz the mrs still wanted to see it through.
Something is missing now and it doesn't feel like ahs anymore, it feels cheap and it misses Langs presence.

Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I completely agree, it was a boring season, with uninteresting characters, the same things happening over and over again..
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
I quit watching halfway into last season.
I was considering giving the new season a chance and came here to see if it was any good.
This thread convinced me to give up on this show. Thanks for saving me the pain of trying to watch the new season.
I'm done with this show.

It's very different to the other seasons. You might like it. I thought it was great fun.
Re: 6 - Worst season so far. By far
absolutely correct analysis -it was such a disappointment.

I cant believe this actually made it past the boardroom brainstorming session.
This could have been a great anthology tv show. after all the promise of the teasers.
This is what you get when you reach later seasons of a show that has run out of ideas.
All the terrible disjointed elements of recycled most haunted/ghost hunter tv, the irritating and overused 'shaky cam' from Blair Witch, and infuriating dragged out 'eye witness' based accounts.
Not homage, Not parody, just multiple formats directly lifted and jammed together. And not in a good way.
Painfully derivative patch work of other peoples ideas but without a coherent story.
Such a shame.
