Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Murder House & Asylum are miles ahead of all the others. I haven’t seen Apocalypse though.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

They are the best and I really like cult.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

They all suck.

Mephistopheles is just beneath and he's reaching up to grab me.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Everyone favors Murder House and Asylum, and I love them, but they're overrated. There were moments where I was getting bored with the season. Here are my views:


Murder House - Good enough to get me into the show. Great twist on a cliche kind of horror story. I love that it had specific rules and the story followed them. I fell in love with the sense of humor the whole series has. It's just that somewhere in the middle, it felt like nothing new was being done. I stopped watching for a few weeks.
7/10

Asylum - Similar to the first season, but a little better.
8/10

Coven - I'm surprised this one isn't loved more. Maybe I'm biased because this is based in NOLA. Some of the mythology is actual mythology. As with all the seasons, the show takes a cliche and makes something a little different. Plus, when's the last time we had a modern day witch movie or show?
9/10

Freak Show - Great homage to Freaks, but I thought it could have been handled better. Shared the slow middle much like the first two seasons. I wanted to like it more. I was looking forward to this one and was a bit let down. Still good, but I think hype ruined it for me.
6/10

Hotel - The opposite of Freak Show. I like Lady Gaga, but wasn't sure I'd like her as an actress. I thought she might ruin the season. I thought she'd play it like she plays her persona when the role called for something else. It was a very Gaga-like role, but it fit. She also showed vulnerability and range. It didn't drag. The only flaw was that it was basically Murder House Part 2: Hotel Edition. However, it did what all great sequels do and kind of up the ante, the color, the whatever.
8/10

Roanoke - It took some chances in being different, but I didn't think it worked too well. Unlike other seasons, which dragged in the middle, this one did in the beginning. I get what it was trying to do (build tension), but it just didn't work for me. It was still enjoyable.
5/10

Cult - Not finished, but I already know this is my fav. season so far. It even touches on a few of my own fears, but like the rest of the series, it doesn't actually scare me. I'm desensitized to horror. It's original, relevant, fun, satirical, and all that good shit. I'm getting through this season the fastest.
I don't think a 1 really exists, but this is getting one because it's the closest you can get.
10/10

Apocalypse - Haven't seen it. I wonder if I'll have to wait until Netflix gets it or if it's on demand.

Yes. And feminism.

But it's dealt with well. It's not so much about the politics, but the fear on both sides dealing with it, and not JUST about that. Don't want to give too much away.
I will just say that the main villain uses the election for their own gain.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Coven is my second favorite. But if you don't like depressing shit, you may not like this as much.
I think Evan Peters excels this season. He always struck me as a Malcolm McDowell type, and he's awesome as a bad guy because of that.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

I am finishing Cult as we speak and it’s not a 10 lol. Evan Peters is great in it, though. 6.5/10. I still have one episode left.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Without spoiling, why not?

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Just too corny for my taste. I’ve cringed a few times, I’m wondering if Murphy really thought we would take some of this stuff seriously.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

AHS always has that tongue-in-cheek element. Any corniness I see seems intentional.
Can you give an example? Only the first few episodes. Forgot where I am at in the season, but I think it's halfway.
In the last one, they killed the one cult member with a nail gun.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

I just think Cult and Roanoke tried a little too hard with the tongue in cheek stuff. I’m interested in Apocalypse. I’ve heard good things.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Not Asylum?

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?



Yea but Jessica Lange corny > Everything else

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

I just kinda like it all.

An issue for me with Roanoke was the lack of humor.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Coven.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

I. I don't know cause I never watched that very odd show.

😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

Re: What is the best season of American Horror Story?

Murder House was the best and I also like Coven because of the hot Axeman
