Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

It seems a shame that such a great series for so many years has decided to use their ratings to make a political statement. Not being American, I have no right to comment on the current political climate, however, I do feel that I can make a review of what should be entertainment? Which I believe is meant to distract us from the realities of the real world, otherwise, make a documentary. I have loved this show for at least the first 5 of the past seven seasons, because it was entertainment of the surreal without having any other purpose but to give me a wonderful distraction. I love Sarah Paulson, but I'm not sure if I can sit through another season of incessant wailing and blubbering. I'm very sure that both She and Evan Peters are capable of so much more. If There is to be a season eight, I implore you to go back to the formula that made you so special in the first place! Thanks

I feel like that's what the point of this show is -- to enjoy yourself and actually feel afraid and then realize how much fun you're having while being scared for the characters and scared of what these freaky messed-up clowns are going to do next. In my opinion, this season has not been as scary as some other seasons, but it's still so much fun to watch.

Do not let yourself get too distracted by the strongly imbalanced user rating, give this AHS season a try! Look closer for the overall message rather than leaning into the political aspect too much.

It is definitely worth it if your taste ranges somewhere between modern and classic horror elements. Brutal, uncomfortable and twisted. Throw in a handful of current world affairs and let fears appear in almost every form.

Also some great acting by Sarah Paulson and especially Evan Peters who perfectly lets his character dive into raging madness.

Every episode contains surprise crossover moments from the past seasons which lets the viewer hype up the nostalgia feelings.

There might have been a couple of overly dramatic scenes but it fairly blends in with the rest of the drastic elements.

A modern angsty and quite frightful season to watch.

When will writers realized that politics does not belong in a show? Although this is only the second episode, the season seems like it's all politics. I laughed when I heard in this episode " It's scary to be brown these days" because I am myself am Hispanic and do not live in fear. What the writers chose to do with this season so far is simply feed the fears of those who identify with the anti-Trump and leftist movement. Don't get me wrong the man is not PC but I'm not here to get into politics, I'm here for entertainment. I am hoping this season improves but not counting on it. I had the same hopes for last season, season six, but they chose to continue down the path of a reality show and disappointment. But that was last season and this reviewsp is for this episode. So fingers crossed that show gets better this season.

Can someone please slap that women, no offence i like this actress she is brilliant in every season but her character now is so annoying scared of her own shadow !!!!!
