    Even if you buy into Ally as an ignorant figure from 2016, “AHS” feels dated, and it surely doesn’t make for compelling TV. For horror fans uncaring of political relevance or accurate representation, it should be noted that American Horror Story: Cult is also quite boring. ... The politics of fear may work, but the twisted logic in this futile exercise falls apart quickly.

    Yipes, this show has gone downhill, and it's an incredible shame.

    Somehow, I think this whole season will just be watching Sarah Paulson

    Somehow, I think this whole season will just be watching Sarah Paulson shriek over and over. I just can't do it anymore.

    I absolutely loved the show but everytime any kind of show tries to mix politics with an imaginary plot it becomes ridiculous. It's very sadI absolutely loved the show but everytime any kind of show tries to mix politics with an imaginary plot it becomes ridiculous. It's very sad that an amazing serie like AHS tries to involve itself with politics just to gain attention after a not-so-good last season Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This season of AHS is AWFUL!! There is nothing but a bunch of whiny and crying by the female leads without any genuine horror. Gratuitous shock value such as blowing up a guinea pig in a microwave is beyond cliched and pathetic. And the whole concept of the election being a protagonist for the "cult," with all of the political buzz words being hammered into every episode is just bad, hack writing. I have always loved AHS - but maybe it is time to pull the plug on this hot mess. Full Review »
