Digital Spy on Hotel: An excellent hour of TV, Lady Gaga at her grandest

[Jase 12,201]

"Lady Gaga's Elizabeth gets the sort of intro Tarantino reserves for his leading ladies; a needle goes onto a record, we get lots of glamorous / fetishising close-ups, then finally - the big reveal. Gaga striding through a graveyard looking absolutely fabulous - draped in diamonds with a never more gorgeous Matt Bomer on her arm.

The graveyard is the location of a pop-up cinema screening of Nosferatu, because of course it is, and Gaga and Bomer gain great pleasure from sitting down and soundlessly seducing a couple of hipsters in attendance.

It's the beginning of a fairly astonishing blood-soaked sequence, packed with playful reverence for the past, framed by boundary-pushing antics. Much like Gaga's pop career, actually. And also American Horror Story's general modus operandi. We already feel this is a match made in heaven... or should that be hell?

Overall, this is an excellent hour of television - stuffed with jaw-dropping moments, tense set-pieces and Lady Gaga at her grandest. Now we've checked into American Horror Story's Hotel, we're not sure we're ever going to want to leave."

Seriously, this episode has caused quite a stir amongst fans and critics, and I love it. I'm already getting the feeling that fans who were disappointed at first have come around on the new season.
