American Horror Stories

Every person in the school looks close to 30 which is really messing with my immersion, especially when you compare it to the believable school and students in Murder House.

There are a few episodes that are creepy, mostly from season 1. But season 2...borderline unwatchable. Unlike the original AHS there's no "holy ****" moments only "ew". The plots are so thin and there's no big twists or reveals. It's a real shame because the acting isn't bad and I could see a lot of the leads being brought in to the proper AHS. But I feel sorry for the actors and actresses that were sold the role based on the brand and instead they were given such poorly written plots to work with. Either Ryan Murphy needs to take a more hands on approach and inject some life in to this series or it should be left in the ground because at the minute it's an embarrassment to the AHS name.

...or at least they are now.

Not sure what happened to the sound, but it goes from barely-audible mumbling one second to blaring notes and bass the next.

I keep watching to see how many sexual/gender minorities they can squeeze into each episode. Seriously, if you made this a drinking game you'd be in the ER in about 2 episodes' time.

The only real good episodes are 5 titled Ba'al and 6 titled Feral. The rest have some good moments or ideas but otherwise mediocre. I think the reason why those 2 episodes i mentioned work is because they're more adult oriented stories and actually have good casts. I felt like the other episodes catered more towards a teen audience. Both in the sense of storyline but also with actors chosen, I mean seriously Kaia Gerber? She may be pretty but she cannot act if her life depended on it. And she gets way too much screen time as well. Also, can we give Murder House a rest already? It was nice seeing some characters back, but on the whole I think we can move on. I still like the overall premise of the show of having different anthology based episodes. Often times regular AHS will start off strong and quickly become muddled towards the middle when the writers clearly don't know what else to do with the storyline so this format provides a little more focus. So I think if they dropped the teen crap and didn't hire the latest Gen Z star, they could actually have a hit show on their hands again.

Going into this series I was expecting great acting,great characters and what we got is a knock-off murder house. I expected to see violet and tate and everybody else but....dissapointed.
