    Episode 1 is a mixed bag, maybe the nostalgia string is not working anymore... and the mix with light horror and no suspense makes me wonder if this season will be more like Roanoke or Any of the first 4 seasons...
    French je ressent une fatigue du au fait qu'on recycle encore les années 80 et tout les tropes du genre horreur, pour surement mieux nous surprendre plus tard    English

    je ressent une fatigue du au fait qu'on recycle encore les années 80 et tout les tropes du genre horreur, pour surement mieux nous surprendre plus tard j'espere, mais la on enfile les perles, chaque scéne ou objets ou decors est un homage à des tonnes de films du genre, et pour le moment j'accroche de facon moyenne, un peu comme Roanoke, j'espere que cela sera bien mieux aprés, mais depuis quelques saisons, on perds pas mal en qualité, même si Apocalypse et Cult m'avait plus..    … Expand

    I'm not a fan of the slasher genre - but, I'll try to keep my review as objective as I can. The acting and technicals of the 9th season of American Horror Story are good. This season is premised on a 1980s period recreation and I found it to be quite accurate in that respect and that was somewhat interesting. The slasher genre tropes were accurate and well done.

This season is premised on a 1980s period recreation and I found it to be quite accurate in that respect and that was somewhat interesting. The slasher genre tropes were accurate and well done. Given its objective I would say that season 9 is artistically successful within that context. If you like slasher video I would think you would enjoy season 9 of AHS.

    Regardless, I can't bring myself to rate season 9 higher than 6 and I really couldn't make myself watch more that 1 and one half episodes - but, again - I don't enjoy watching slashers and that is just my point of view and doesn't necessarily mean others might not enjoy it.    … Expand

    The entire 9th season feels like you're watching one of those parody movies like Scary Movie where they make fun of the horror genre. Only this show isn't played for laughs but still feels like it.

    There's some plot twists and curves throughout the season, there's actually so many of them that again it makes you think you're watching a parody, however to be fair the show does make you want to know how it all ends. But even the final episode is a bit of a letdown. Like most of the season really.    … 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.
