hELXIG 43,063 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'll just say this about AHS in general: My critique is that they have a habit of cramming too much into a season, and forcing it to work, which comes across as rushed, convoluted, and even silly sometimes. They do best when they put a lot of effort into developing one major storyline, and side stories weave in and out of it carefully and don't overshadow it. An example of them following this formula is in Asylum, where the happenings in the Asylum and Bloodyface were the main storyline and everything was centered around that. Side stories like the aliens and the experiments came in and out of the main story, but still existed around the Asylum, and they made sense because of the time era and horror stories from back then. An example of them not following the formula is Hotel, where they paid too much attention to The Countess and her life and backstory and who she was, and spent so much time following the stupid family which was argueably cliched and felt like any dumb TV drama. Every character had a long story and they kept introducing new characters and stories without finishing the current ones. E.g. the vampire children started as an important part of the plot, then suddenly noone cared about them anymore. Rahn is suddenly an important character but then dies instantly. The demon of addiction was woven in and out of the story, then just dismissed as nothing. James March and his history was such a prominent storyline that everyone forgot about the 10 commandments killer, or just stopped caring, and then they suddenly brought it back. Oh and one more thing. The Halloween episodes need. To. Stop. They're forced and cringey and awkward. Every time they introduce one it derails the storyline because they've squeezed it in, and something which could've been a really interesting story now feels ridiculous. Stop it Ryan. Stop. No more serial killers coming back to life for a night. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laceface 2,964 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Roanoke was terrible. Bad story line & basically like a Big Brother comedy. The seasons are slowly getting worse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panchecco 17,634 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I love them all because AHS is literally my favourite tv show of all time but I voted for Roanoke simply because I feel the second half of the season could have and should have been completely different. The new format, the theme, the characters, the story and all of those things were incredible but the "big" plot twist ruined the season for me. The second part of the season was literally the first part but worse and less exciting; it all became very repetitive and predictable. They should have broken the "tv show inside the tv show" format right away and show the real lives of the real Matt, Shelby and Lee as if we were watching a real season of AHS and not a "creepy version of Big Brother". Also Scathach's story was so interesting but so rushed and pointless (??) I get that Gaga had literally zero time but they should have come up with a better story that could have also worked for the second part of the season even without Gaga there. I think it's overall a good season but definitely the most problematic season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 For me, Freakshow was saved by the awesome characters and a couple of genuinely terrifying moments. I didn't hate Coven so much the second time round. And Hotel, for all its faults, was interesting to say the least. So for me it's Roanoke. It felt like a parody, the horror scenes were so ridiculous they were funny rather than scary, and the second half of the season was pure sh!te. It was just drivel. I can't understand why people worship it. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
