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.

I used to be an Avid AHS fan. The last good thing that came from it was the Hotel season. Ever since then it has been nothing but crap...time to put this to bed.

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.

So far, this new series seems to lack the spark of the original series. Besides the more seasoned actors, the other acting seems robotic. It's as though I'm having a dream about American Horror Story; some of the people and scenery are familiar, but there's something off. This may be appealing to those CW fans who value style over substance, but for me I need more than just pretty people who kill. However, I want to be fair so I'll keep watching to see where this goes.

The dads are decent actors I guess as was the therapist but can't carry the show.

The 'teen' actors all look 30 and are terrible actors. I spent most of their scenes waiting for them to be over.

It's like someone put a teen drama in the AHS house and they are play acting.

I tried to force myself to watch both episodes and gave up half way thru the second episode.

Someone call me when the grownups get back...
