    Storyline

    Edit
    Ben gets a new patient, Bianca Forest, something of a murder groupie who is just amazed that he lives in the house that has been the scene of so many famous murders. Ben has his own problems when the student with whom he was having an affair in Boston calls to tell him she's pregnant. He lies to his wife Vivien saying he's got to return to Boston to deal with one of his old cases. While he's away however, Bianca and two of her friends stage a home invasion intent on recreating a murder of two student nurses in 1968. —garykmcd

    Keep It Up!
    The pilot was awesome and I too got caught up in the "what will they do next" query. The show just keeps the creep outs coming, with a less than subtle wink-wink with it's dark humor. I LOVE Jessica Lange and this has got to be so much fun for her to play, and it is quickly becoming my favorite role of hers. NO ONE can play this character like her. She pulls off tragedy, mental imbalance and humor, without uttering a line. But when she speaks...wow! The lines are great and the writers make her just "camp" enough to stay enjoyable, just don't eat her cupcakes! The second episode packed a lot in and creeped me out and made me go, "HUH?" and wait..."Is he real?" a few times. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this entire cast and will gladly tune in week after week to get to know this house and it's stories, more Contance and Addie and maybe less Violet...if you like dark humor, mystery and a little gore with your drama, watch this show!
