Bye 3,947 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've watched each AHS season in a couple of days each. That made the pacing a non factor for me. Having watched them like that Coven was the messiest with MH and Asylum being the best. Murder House was the most concise though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurqaSwg 4,681 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I really enjoyed the season, it's the last few episodes that disappointed me. I thought the story was just rushed at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henaub 191 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The only thing I really loathed was the cringeworthy "we were born this way" ****, other than that it wasnt that bad. Sure not every ep was a 10 but most had interesting things at least Pole dancer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstereo 1,232 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I hated the musical aspect of it. It felt like a dark version of GLEE, and it wasn't even that scary, it felt corny just like the season before (Coven). Stopped watching halfway.

Adampervez 603 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Tbh its one of my favourite seasons from AHS. Asylum will always be my fave and (dont kill me but) murder house is my least favourite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miker 5,683 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The Freak Show was a disappointment but that doesn't mean the next one will be a flop. I never saw any of the previous ones so my opinion is based on a limited exposure of the series. I will watch the first few episodes of the new AHS to see if it holds my attention.

Jenniferella 2,774 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The only interesting things on this season were Twisty and Maggie's end. "I have been writing LG5 since I was 13" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lona Delery 7,214 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I definitely liked FS better than Murder House. It's no horror tbh, but I still liked the plot. Bette and Dott made the season for meIt became boring after Ryan listened to much to the public and changed up the story after the first few episodes, he could've had Twisty the whole series and made an amazing backstory and horror suspense scenes but it ended up a miss after about 5-6 episodesHe did? What exactly happened tho? And do we know what the original story was? Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogooGaga 54 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I think it started very promising. Somewhere in the middle it became a hot mess. The first 2 seasons are honestly the fan favorites, and I have to agree with that. Twisty was the best thing about Freak Snow. Dandy got annoying after a while.

djBuffoon 12,115 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Honestly, none of the seasons are deserving of hate, there's too many quality ingredients for any of them to be labelled "bad". But where Murder House and Asylum were consistent and engaging and narratively satisfying, Coven and Freak Show fell short due to a lack of focus and too many elements and characters being poorly handled, especially in the second half of both seasons. And because FS began SO scary and distinctive, it made the downfall more disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole 1,809 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There was no central storyline that tied everything together. If someone asked me what it is about, I literally would not be able to sum it up (e.g coven had the central storyline of the next supreme) - with that freakshow too many individual story lines that just made it explode at the end. It's almost like the writers forgot that it's a 13 episode story and just said "oh well" if there was perhaps 2 seasons of freakshow I think they may have been able to properly develop all the characters/story lines without having to just kill them off when they run out of things to do. In saying that, the filming/cinematography is quite beautiful but it's really just lazy writing that ruined it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheResidentZionist 128 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 as someone who watched each season as they aired, my biggest issue with freakshow was i completely lost that suspension of disbelief while watching it. Asylum was a ****show WHILE watching it until the end when it all came together. Coven was the same way it meandered but still had a throughline, Freakshow was aimless! whatg was the general plot of it? i dare you to tell me.... was it elsa's journey to stardom? was it Dandys decension into madness? was it about anything to do with the concept of being in a freakshow? no....it was weak.
