    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst season of AHS yet. It's all over the place and has become a self-referential parody of itself. Not every season has to rinse and repeat with ghosts and Satan. It is okay to do something different once in a while. I had high hopes from the first episode but as the season progressed I was made to stop caring as characters flip-flopped back and forth from being bad to good and most people coming back as ghosts rendered much of the drama moot.

    It's a shame because AHS used to be one of my favourite shows. I particular loved the first series (although Hotel, Freak Show and Cult were also very good). Fingers crossed the next season is a return to form.    … Expand

    A slight improvement from Apocalypse, but AHS is clearly running on fumes. AHS 1984 never rose beyond it's campy origins. Acting was so stilted and the scenes so cliche and repetitive that you wondered how anyone could keep a straight face. The last episode had potential but in the end sentimental schmaltz won out, leading me to wonder what the hell was the point of all this mess.

    This season was horrible to watch. It was so cheesy and unbelievable. Margaret was the worst. I've loved and looked forward to every season prior, but this one not even my husband would watch. I had to bribe him to finish it. Please come up with some good suspense thriller like the other seasons next time.

    The final nail in the coffin of once unrivaled anthology series. What initially started as pure horror with amazing writing and multifaceted characters has sadly deteriorated into a cheap teen drama with a lot of meme worthy moments.

What initially started as pure horror with amazing writing and multifaceted characters has sadly deteriorated into a cheap teen drama with a lot of meme worthy moments. I actually had to double check whether I'm really watching American Horror Story because what I was witnessing onscreen felt more like a spiritual successor to Scream Queens than anything else. I think Ryan Murphy needs to nip his obsession with teens in the bud before it starts ruining the legacy he's built for himself.… Expand

    The season's plot is intentionally thin. ... There are hints of cleverness in the dialogue, but just hints. It's only in the Night Stalker stuff, perhaps fodder for a Quentin Tarantino-esque rewrite of history, that I got much hope for anything fresh.
