I have loved most of the AHS series, so when I saw the promo for the new incarnation, I was excited to watch. WARNING: Spoilers.

The premise of this story is that a screenwriter and his family escape to Provincetown for a working vacation. On the first afternoon the pregnant wife and young daughter stroll through the cemetery - because who doesn't, ammi right? - and there they encounter a #zombie. They run home, but the zombie follows. Now the daughter complains that she sees the Zombie out her window at night and the wife is craving red meat. Then the writer takes a jog and finds dead bodies on the beach, but they still decide to stay in town. Because, of course, that's normal. Frankly it's all pretty heavy handed. Waiting for the aliens to show up was the only thing that kept me watching. And that's not a joke. Then the vampires appeared, and I took my leave. Sadly, I never got to meet the aliens.

#Sidebar, from now on I will ignore the #ratings on #IMDb. People were giving this 10 stars before the episode even started. Not OK.

Also, is it weird that all the zombies wear the same coat? Is there a Zombie #shoppingmall? Asking for a friend.
