American Horror Stories

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.

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.

I'm an avid Murphy/Falchuk fan, that likes most of their work and has watched all of the AHS seasons (some of those were also not of their previous caliber). The first season of Stories is boring, lacks substance and frankly, is a strange offering from a franchise that's given so much variety and talent. It received many bad reviews. I believe they have listened to what has been said.

Season 2 of Stories is interesting, creative, spooky and imaginative, with original ideas and great acting. Some fan favourites return and some history from AHS looks back at us (if you've watched the show you'll know what I'm talking about, I won't spoil the fun). It's creepy and entertaining.

I had already rated the previous season with a 5, which was quite generous and have now changed it to a 7.

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...

Why why why did they make this utter rubbish. Why my eyes why.
