Hey, Roanoke was pretty good. I'm actually kind of optimistic about a new season of AHS for the first time since 2013. Time to lift these expectations up to the roof! What could possibly go wrong?

Rewatched season 6 and 5 and definitely prefer the focused storytelling of last year over all previous seasons.

Did this show ever recover after the pile of rancid dogshit that was Coven? I tried the first couple episodes of freak show and Roanoke but was bored so I stopped.

There is nothing remaining about this series that invokes the spirit of Season 2 which caused me to fall so in love with this show, and yet I've still continued to watch every episode of every season because I'm a loving sucker

I take each season as it comes. I expect nothing anymore. Except something totally goofy at some point. Personally, I've always thought Ryan's period pieces are so much better. Asylum, Freak Show, even Feud. So I don't have a lot of confidence that they'll craft a story around the election that is more clever than it is obnoxious. But time will tell.

Coven has made me check out except at season's start every year sincr and something has happened every year since that was just as bad as precious masturbating to placate a minotaur in the first episode. Im waiting for this show to go one episode without making me cringe.

The writing wasn't quite as tight but the performances from Lange and Sarandon were absolute powerhouses and kept the whole thing buoyant. A question: having really enjoyed Feud and really, really enjoyed American Crime Story but never having seen AHS, is there a stand-out series I should watch? I was always under the impression it was kinda schlocky camp nonsense (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I'm a convert to Ryan Murphy and Id like to give it a fair shake.

Matinee posted:The writing wasn't quite as tight but the performances from Lange and Sarandon were absolute powerhouses and kept the whole thing buoyant. The seasons generally go like this: 1: A good slow-burn haunted house story (watch) 2: Batshit madness overload (watch) 3: Garbage (do not watch under any circumstances) 4: Not very good but an improvement over 3, although to be honest a 13 hour stream from a camera pointed at a putrefying pig carcass would have been an improvement over 3 (do not watch unless you find yourself getting really into the show or fall madly in love with Jessica Lange) 5: Surprisingly decent and a return to telling an actual story instead of a medley of unconnected shock videos (watch) 6: A decent-to-good story presented in a really unconventional structure (watch) They are all absolutely schlocky camp nonsense, of course. basic hitler posted:Im waiting for this show to go one episode without making me cringe.

Controversial opinion: Freak Show was worse than Coven. Coven was insanely boring and nothing mattered or even made sense but at least it wasn't actively offensive in a bunch of ways. And swamp witch Lily Rabe makes me forgive a lot of lovely writing.

Yeah Coven wasn't THAT bad, really...pretty boring, sure, and the plot was all over the place, but personally I like to watch AHS for the horror movie send ups, and Coven did that just fine. We got voodoo, zombies, witches & witch trials (obviously), that whole "drink the blood of the young to stay youthful" trope, a minotaur monster, a Frankenstein monster, and even a scene where people get their eyes removed with a melon baller. Now that's what I call horror! But speaking of executing horror movie send ups, S6: Roanoke really did not do very much of that at all which, in my eyes, was a big bummer looking back. I enjoyed parts of it at the time, but in retrospect it's pretty unmemorable, and I'm possibly the least excited for a new season of AHS as I've ever been. And yet, here I am, posting about it on a Tuesday morning instead of working timp posted:because I'm a loving sucker

Coven was better than most of the other seasons. Also, Coven gave us Scream Queens, the first season of which was better than any season of AHS

the first season is the best one. it's the most cohesive, the most unexpected, and the scariest. also the twist is very well done and the final episode is probably the best single episode this show has ever done.

I will always love Roanoke for the exact recreation of the format of My Haunted House. Its so shlocky AMS didn't even seem like a parody. Also, because I'm even further south than the Roanoke area and all the old tired southern jokes in it were just  "This is the south, like you can get a salad around here  "

The most unforgivable part of Roanoke is how they continually lauded their fictional show (to the point of having people's lives and psyches ruined by just how awesome the show was), when it actually looked like some bobo poo poo that even A&E wouldn't run.

I can't remember the name, but there's a ghost show that has pretty actors during the "interviews", and another set of pretty actors for the reenactment. The first half of Roanoke is that show so hard.

As much as I enjoyed Roanoke, the biggest "suspension of belief" factor was that the first five episodes was a television series that took over popular culture with the power of a dozen Game of Thrones and Breaking Bads. That, and the fact that the role of Shelby beat The Butcher for a Saturn Award.

haveblue posted:Previous on American Horror Story: That reminds me. Unfortunately, Kathy Bates won't be in this season due to a scheduling conflict with Bates's new Netflix show. I'm a little skeptical about this season. The previews suggest that Murphy is really hung up on Twisty from Freak Show. I never really liked Twisty as a concept or a character, except in his ability to propel Dandy toward insanity. It might be a personal thing, but I have difficulty taking the clown get-up seriously. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we get another Asylum.

Perhaps the biggest mistake Freak Show made was eliminating Twisty so fast, so maybe it's lingering feelings of regret. I don't know, sometimes he gets these ideas in his head and they're just sort of there. Like that gremlin stuck in the mattress in Hotel that was all over the advertising and didn't mean anything but to be a spooky image.

It's the best season since Asylum without crossing over into "bad". However, it's still a Ryan Murphy project, so... your mileage may very.
