American Horror Stories

I'm an avid Murphy/Falchuk fan, that likes most of their work and has watched all of the AHS seasons (some of those were also not of their previous caliber). The first season of Stories is boring, lacks substance and frankly, is a strange offering from a franchise that's given so much variety and talent. It received many bad reviews. I believe they have listened to what has been said.

Season 2 of Stories is interesting, creative, spooky and imaginative, with original ideas and great acting. Some fan favourites return and some history from AHS looks back at us (if you've watched the show you'll know what I'm talking about, I won't spoil the fun). It's creepy and entertaining.

I had already rated the previous season with a 5, which was quite generous and have now changed it to a 7.

I used to be an Avid AHS fan. The last good thing that came from it was the Hotel season. Ever since then it has been nothing but crap...time to put this to bed.

The only real good episodes are 5 titled Ba'al and 6 titled Feral. The rest have some good moments or ideas but otherwise mediocre. I think the reason why those 2 episodes i mentioned work is because they're more adult oriented stories and actually have good casts. I felt like the other episodes catered more towards a teen audience. Both in the sense of storyline but also with actors chosen, I mean seriously Kaia Gerber? She may be pretty but she cannot act if her life depended on it. And she gets way too much screen time as well. Also, can we give Murder House a rest already? It was nice seeing some characters back, but on the whole I think we can move on. I still like the overall premise of the show of having different anthology based episodes. Often times regular AHS will start off strong and quickly become muddled towards the middle when the writers clearly don't know what else to do with the storyline so this format provides a little more focus. So I think if they dropped the teen crap and didn't hire the latest Gen Z star, they could actually have a hit show on their hands again.

So far, this new series seems to lack the spark of the original series. Besides the more seasoned actors, the other acting seems robotic. It's as though I'm having a dream about American Horror Story; some of the people and scenery are familiar, but there's something off. This may be appealing to those CW fans who value style over substance, but for me I need more than just pretty people who kill. However, I want to be fair so I'll keep watching to see where this goes.

Why why why did they make this utter rubbish. Why my eyes why.
