Big drop of quality in accordance to first season. This second started good with mysterious characters, pretty good atmosphere, suggestive plots, mental wanderings (of course) and a collection of horror movies topics caged in the typical psychiatric catholic hospital. There are all: Nazis with their experiments, half zombies, lesbians, aliens, nymphs, "le diable", catholic church, slashers, possessions…. I'm all right with this, if they can make it work, credits for them. However, from the episode number four or five all start to decay. Plots become boring, main characters disappear, you don't care about some others ("mental handjobs" as we say here), softness start to reign and, this is the worst, where is the horror? Casting is good. Jessica Lange is very good with an attractive character; Sarah Paulson awesome; Zachary Quinto has the look for a disturbed person, easy for him; James Cromwell good as well; Lily Rabe the best in my opinion, great performance. The rest are worse than them. Can't forget, Chloe Sevigny appears too. Manufacture, as in the first, is top quality, one of the best ever seen, from the opening titles to the end. Spoiler: all the story about the blonde guy asshole and their women, Arden experiments (what happened, they could use them more), Ana Frank, really!?, soon death of sister Eunice…and more, are thing I didn't like it and I think they affect negatively to the last result. Let's wait for the third part of American Horror Story, I hope they can get up.
