So so start to the new season. With it being season 6 and seeing so many 666 imagery I was really expecting a devil themed story for this season but what we have been presented with is a send up of mockumentary "reality" horror shows.
The Good : Beautiful cinematography and lighting worthy of a cinema release.
: A more focused story than recent seasons with less rambling subplots.
: The backwoods setting evokes a sense of unease and the isolation helps create more tension i.e. the bathtub scene.
The Bad : Having the two leads tell the story via interview drains any tension as we know they ultimately survive.
: Evan Peters is credited but i did not see him in show.
: I would have preferred Lily Rabe and Sarah Paulsen to have swapped roles.
For all the failings i still enjoyed this season opener more than any since Asylum and will tune in next week to see where story takes us.
