User Reviews

mostly good episode

I enjoyedmost of the episode, the weak point is the whole romance with the axeman like what the hell, when AHS mixes real people with made up stories that never happened to them its really weak writing like the whole Nazi Anne frank sub plot in asylum, unfortunately AHS has used this in most seasons its a habit Ryan Murphy and co should abandon
