American Horror Story: Checking In (2015)
Season 5, Episode 1
4/10
Try hard, die hard

Anything above a 5 rating would mean average and bearable to keep watching, and I definitely cannot bare to watch season 5.

With four varying but high quality series behind it, writers and directors Brad and Ryan finally flop in this extended bad romance video.

Extremely poor start with plot holes and a typical horror mistake (this all could have been avoided if you turned around when a normal human would) or (just turn the bloody light on).

To say part of the theme / slogan of the series is to go against and I quote "corrupt want for cultural immortality" we have Lady Gaga who's Bad Romance song seems to be the inspiration for the series, acting.... well like a marionette. The only reason I can see for her to be on the show is to bring her fan base which goes to show they don't care about the fans of previous series and actually aim for "cultural immortality"

Anyway, even the best can pull it back from a bad start and win like Usain Bolt, but it didn't. The show goes from bad start to an attempt to make up for it with shock and horror. And some of it is fudged up way beyond anything we have seen in previous series. But this is just a huge compensation for bad writing, so perfectly visualized with a 9" drill bit dildo.

That one scene pretty much made up my opinion of the episode. Poor performance with a painfully horrific overcompensation.
