All over the place
12 March 2021
Seldomly has a TV Show left me so frustrated. Its like a kid with ADHD who can't stay still for one second and starts one thing without finishing the other. Now, that might also be the point of it all, maybe that's exactly the draw, the excessive storylines, the plot-twists, the overacting, and I get it, it is kind of fun. Its camp, and there is a definite place for it when done right. But obviously Murphy is going for something big, he wants to thrill and shock- and he wants to be sophisticated about it in the process.

But this episode showed me that its all a facade, its all going nowhere. Its just a plot twist for the plot twists sake. It's not like Murphy is trying to create something coherent and mysterious, its pure trash TV for an audience of imbeciles, who think over-dramatization, shlock and pseudo-deep platitudes are good filmmaking and storytelling. In reality, Murphy and team are just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I love style, I love when style becomes substance, but in AHS the style exists as a separate organism. AHS is a great looking TV Show. Its has imaginative sets, costumes and camerawork, and its what makes the episodes fun to look at.

This episode as a whole encapsulates everything that I despise about this show. A constant barrage of information delivered in the most obnoxious way possible.
