American Horror Story: Final Girl (2019)
Awsome awsome awsome!!! But I have two questions.
Loved the season and the finale was one of the most satisfying. This season will for sure remain up there with Hotel as one of my favourites! The entire vibe of the season was great and the finale was incredibly emotional - I loved it!!!
However... here's my two questions:
1. While it's very satisfying to see Ramirez get what he deserved, how would they explain him dying in prison of cancer in 2013 and visiting the Hotel Cortez on Halloween 2015?
2. I think there could've been more SFX make-up used on Emma Roberts. I mean there's literally no difference between her in the '80s and her in 2019. It's not a big deal but it just seemed weird.
American Horror Story: Checking In (2015)
This is a diamond in the making!
I didn't expect much when I started watching these series, to be honest. I've been somewhat influenced by bad reviews and to a certain extent, I thought to myself, how good of a story cand a horror series have? I was pleasently surprised!
The first season was wonderful. More of a thriller rather than a horror series, but it managed to have the perfect amount of suspense, the storyline was great and the addition of the supernatural element made everything come together wonderfully. 10/10
Asylum - the second season was an interesting. As of what I've figured, the asylum itself might be loosely based off of the Weaverly Hills Sanatorium (used to be a TB hospital, then turned into an asylum for the elderly and mentally unstable). I think they could've exploited the idea of an asylum more. I wasn't particularly impressed with this season as it didn't fit the idea I had of such a place. But, objectively speaking, it was good. The plot was good and the location made for an interesting season. (7/10)
The third season - Coven - was one of my favourites. Very nicely representing a modern day coven, it also brings up a little bit of history. Old meets new. Despite the fact that a few things were a bit far fetched (it's fiction, after all), they've touched on a few interesting topics when it comes to witchcraft and they've done it very well. I loved everything about this season! (10/10)
The fourth season - Freak Show - wasn't really my cup of tea, although, I must admit, it did have some great moments but, overall, it didn't manage to lure me into the atmosphere of 50s travelling circus. (8/10)
The fifth season - Hotel - this one's my all time favourite! The plot, the plot twists, the atmosphere, the imagery, even the soundtrack! They all stand out to me! Unfortunately, this is the most underrated season of all. The only thing that I've found gratuitous about this season, was the presence of the Drill Monster. He did, however, have a meaning, but it could've been suggested in another way than using that weird looking monster... I was also surprised with Lady Gaga who did an amazing job at portraing The Countess.(10/10)
The sixth season - Roanoak - this was yet another masterpiece! The whole concept of the season is great! One of the best seasons, with a series of unexpected twists. It was wonderful! (10/10)
The seventh season - Cult - now, this one, I didn't like at all. I found it kind of boring. The characters didn't convince me and neither did the plot. I didn't find something in particular to hang on, I didn't find at least one character to like and root for. Kai had a pretty far fetched person from what a cult leader would actually be. He just seemed like a troubled teen ager to me. Winter was incredibly annoying and made me dislike her immediately. I literally tried to bring myself to like Ally but just couldn't manage to get past her whiny nature. (5/10)
Now, the current season of the series - Apocalypse - I didn't come into it expecting too much after Cult BUT I was pleasently surprised! I'm loving this season and it's development, and the fact that it's connected to both Coven, as well as Murder House, is perfect, for me. I would give it a 10/10 until now and I hope to not change my mind until the end.
Overall, the concept is great, taking inspiration from various events in American history is great, the cast is perfect and I don't mind the least bit watching the same actors playing different parts since they're great at doing it! As any series, it has its hits and misses but it's totally worth watching and I hope they won't choose to end it anytime soon. I'm an avid binge watcher of series but AHS was and will probably remain the only one for which I have the patience to wait until every Wednesday for a new episode.
