That’s why the OPINION tag is there mawma. Me posting my opinion isn’t stopping you all from watching and getting your own.

Watched the podcast and it feels like they’re held at gunpoint and low-key have no chemistry talking. Plus why is the first one an entirely new character and actor who’s not even in the first 3 episodes? Synergy matters.

The new actor LOOKS good but it’s pretty obvious just off how he’s dressed who he’s playing.

i saw the surprise "f*ggy" clip and i can't believe there are people who are ride or die for this show

are we seeing the same thing?

The clip is funny out of context tbh, but like can we let the meme DIE already. It’s been like 10 years :rip: The scene is just randomly thrown into the opening and then we just never see them again so far 3 episodes in. Not a single scene nnnn

it's a Ryan Murphy show, how many times he has to let you down before you stop expecting him to make a good TV show?

Did you see the Lizzy Borden Monster show he just made? 

I thought it was way better than many of Murphy's messes. At least this one didn't collapse mid-season imo. :laughga:

You just confirmed my intuition for the season

I actually think the story and the mystery are done well but the need for the returning characters is inconsequential. You can just change them out for brand new characters. Like Lange could’ve totally played a new character where she’s playing Constance. It has no real impact so far.

So we’re only 3 episodes in, which—frankly, could’ve just been one episode. And already I feel highly dissatisfied. Bare in mind I was super excited for this season.

Firstly, the links back to the veteran characters feels unnecessary, the story feels like it doesn’t need (at least so far) any reference to the previous characters at all. Constance didnt need to be there at all, if the need for Jessica Lange was what they wanted; then they could’ve just had her play a brand new character. 

Or better yet, have an entirely fresh cast. The 13 storyline and the relation to the devil is interesting, but the flying references to the other characters just feels… forced. Even Constance’s story beats are just recycled ones from both Murder House and Apocalypse about her grief over her kids. 

The new main character is interesting, the writing is still clunky as hell, but the mystery is well set up. At least to me. But I think they could’ve cut the number of episodes in half, because clearly the episode lengths were a play to be like “hey look we have LOTS of episodes this season like we used to.” They could’ve also made it focus more on the new main character’s story more than the random inclusion of old characters. Even the Coven scene in episode one is just…there and hitting beats.

They could’ve made the story revolved around people being brought back with entirely new ones even. Once you see the characters together the nostalgia sort of wears off. 

Am I still going to watch? Absolutely! Because I want to see if I’m wrong and if the story pays off. And if my predictions are right about the season.

But yeah what’s everyone’s opinions thus far and your predictions?

 

just an fyi, apparently jessica only came back bc ryan told her she could play all four of her prior characters.

also we dont live in a world anymore where even AHS with its veteran cast will get 13 one hour episodes. those days are GONE. New normal is 6 to 8. so if you double 6 you get 12 so thats why they are so short and thats why they are releasing two to three per week.

I disagree. The writing could be better, but I enjoyed this more than whatever Delicate was. I’m waiting to see how it all comes together before I make a decision on if I like it or not. I also didn’t really have high expectations of a fan service season. According to some others that watch the show, I have some unpopular opinions about it anyways. Madison being offensive is inherently part of her character. So that comment didn’t phase me whatsoever. 
 

I do hate the reduced runtime though because Ryan has not learned how to streamline enough for that.

It shows tbh. Sounds like he basically moved the rest of the show to accommodate her. She absolutely could’ve just been a new original character tbh.

While this is true I also think it’s a cop out tbh. Ryan Murphy absolutely would have enough influence to expand episode counts. The era of 6-8 episodes every 2-3 years needs to end for sure.

two things. one she recently revealed its the only reason she came back, but also that she is playing a fifth character that is new but a total secret. two: she along with the new male lead carried the entire first three episodes.
