Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Did you watch the first episode? Well, then you understand what happens in this episode. This entire episode is just a bunch of clown attacks and cheap jump scares. The only saving grace of this episode is the ending. But yeah, get ready for more screaming and crying from Sarah Paulson. The season has some potential, but the slow story and political references are destroying taking that potential. I hope this season gets better as it progresses. I gave it a 6/10 because I am hopeful that it will get better.

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.

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

Ally is scared with the clowns and Ivy calls Dr. Rudy Vincent to interview her. She is also intrigued with her new neighbors, the beekeepers Harrison and his wife, who moved immediately after the death of Tom Chang. She also buys a pistol for self-protection. When there is a power outage in the city, Ivy needs to go to the restaurant to save the supplies. Ally stays alone with Ox and takes the worst decisions.

"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" is another terrible episode of the "American Horror Story". The idea of mixing politics and movie does not work, and the need to have a couple of lesbians or gays is stupid considering that the series is supposed to be a horror movie. Sarah Paulson is a good actress, but her performance as a lesbian is annoying. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"

I don't know what to really say about this episode because when the credits rolled, I was left saying "is that it". The plot never seemed to progress but instead we were given new characters and the same screams and scares. Everyone outside of the Mayfair-Richards is at least interesting or has the potential to be interesting. Ally continues to scream and heavy pant while her wife just puts up with it.

This episode did a poor job at balancing screen time. A small amount of Ally is fine but having her continually being in fear the entire time just becomes boring. I don't think I can put up with that the whole season. Would it be so bad to add some personality to Ivy? She just seems to be filler so far.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is just a filler episode, lets hope the third episode adds more to hold my interest.

Episode 2: 6/10
