The Most Satisfying Episode Yet
TheMrAdriaX17 December 2015
From the very first episode, this show set up a season that would be filled with brutality, sex and an interesting, and unpredictable premise. However from that spark of a first episode came along a series of events, much like a domino effect, that made this season so boring and dull that it felt like a chore to watch, that spark that made me invested in this season was nothing but a distant memory.

However this episode redeemed that spark as it fulfilled a satisfying turn for the plot and each of its characters.

Performances from this episode were also top-notch especially from Denis O Hare, Kathy Bates and surprisingly Lady Gaga as doubts from the start of the season were replaced with comfort knowing that she perfectly fits the role of the Countess.

This episode was fun and refreshing and a much, much long awaited improvement from the previous dull episodes.

I did not score a perfect score however as it did struggle with finding a balance of tone throughout the episode as it juggled between horror, romance and at times, comedy.

However despite that this episode was well worth a watch. So even if you are at the brink of wanting to quit this season, simply watch this episode, then decide afterward. Because as for me, I will not be checking out of Hotel Cortez just yet.

It was another strong outing, I love the story and characters in hotel, I really enjoy johns story and the ten commandments because it really leaned into some messed up stuff but hey this is a horror show

This episode begins with Liz, he tells about the guests at the hotel. John killed three people at the church. One more kill to go for him. Donovan shot a bullet trough Rudolph's head, he died instantly. The Countess shot a bullet trough Natacha's head, she died instantly. James set Foreman on fire, he died afterwards. Max attacked Alex. Alex and Johm got surrounded by vampire kids. John locked up the vampire kids at the hotel. Johm kisses Sally. Lis meets his son again, his name is Douglas. The Countess cries when she sees Rudolph's dead body. John gets reunited with Holden, he takes him back home. Iris and Liz shot down Donovan and The Countess. Nice episode of American Horror Story Season 5, what a bad ass action in the last scene. Overall a good episode.

Best episode of season 5 and one of the best of all

May Contain Spoilers.

First 10 minutes of this episode were so unpredictable that I was certain that this is going to be one hell of an episode. Every moment was enjoyable. Amazing acting by all the casts. This episode shows off the beauty of this show. The extremely irrelevant genre of the song at the end with an extreme twist was what I loved the most. One of the best episodes of not just AHS, but of all the shows I've ever watched. Kudos to the direction.

This episode also leaves a lot of us emotional when Liz meets someone important from her past. And there's a family reunion we all were hoping to see.

Best episode yet

short & sweet, this episode was made like a movie. Lady gaga is a much better actress than singer. It reminded me of modern culture in contrast to the way THEY were. It was like Natural born killers when the countess killed the actress and Donovan killed her all time love, the dialogue was superb, and then the ending, when Liz and Iris come crashing thru the doors like mad women, it was totally original and very post-modernly tragic. best episode yet. I am so glad to see the back of John and his not scary at all ten commandment killing (this is what lets the show down, we don't want gore and guts, we want scares and shocks and glamorous tragedy). Thats why Circus was so crap, I actually could not eat whilst watching that, because there was far too much blood & gore in it. Let's hope tonight's Natural Born killers-esque high drama is the way we are heading.

S5.E10 - Crazy Ending [8/10]
panagiotis199328 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
(S5. E10) My Live Reaction / Review for American Horror Story Season 5 Episode 10 ''She Gets Revenge''. The previous episode was good and I gave it a rating of 9.6/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. So now John knows that Alex lied to him, good. Liz wants to meet his son, to learn more about him, while that's sweet, its also sad. Will is alive? What? How? It's probably his ghost. The subplot with the vampire kids is so annoying. Im glad that Liz and his son are in touch again. So now John, Alex and Holden will be one happy family? That's weird. Wow what was that crazy ending? Overall this episode was good, my rating is 8/10.
