    Good start, disappointing ending

    This season starts out really good and the webbing of all the seasons was really interesting but it just went to nothing. The ending makes the whole season seem totally pointless and didn't make much sense. I think AHS has lost its way since Coven or Asylum. Worth a watch but dont get your hopes up for an amazing season.

    Nowhere near as good as other seasons.

    I think this series has been too mushy and soft all the way through.

    The cast have done a brilliant job as they always do, but the story/production is the weakest to date.

    I feel as though the storyline ended before it got started. It needed more 'oomph' in the writing, more excitement in the pivotal scenes. More drama and tension - all of which were missing this season.

    It seems as though the writers have tried to concentrate on the emotional attachments of the characters, which has resulted in far too much reflective dialogue.

    American Horror Story is supposed to be horror and suspense - not a soppy copy of 'Charmed'.

    The writers really need to up their game if American Horror Story is to survive much longer.

    The finale was very disappointing. Extremely weak and illogical - even for a fantasy.

    Normally I would rate AHS at least a 7. This has got to be the lowest of all the seasons so far.

    Sloppy and an Unfortunate Waste

    And you all thought you hated the ending to Roanoke (Which I actually prefer to this) All those cameos were for nothing. Everything this show worked for, threw it away in the last 60 minutes of the season. Too much going on , not enough time to explain. I was hoping for something more on the APOCALYPSE level...This was...domestic. What it makes it even worse was that this season was so promising. The other seasons were just bad through and through...But this...This had hope. They ruined it!

    A fun adrenaline rush of death and cameos

    I loved this episode.

    I honestly think this was one of the better season finales for AHS, most of the others just put the season to bed but this one did that and deliverd some amazing ones liners, cameos and fun at an amazing speed.

    It is sad that moira never got her ending from episode 6 but I'm sure that may get addressed in the later 2 seasons which may be further cross overs possibly?

    All in all I would rank this season one of the best on par with the 1st 3 seasons in my humble opinion.

    Shocking ending.

    3 out of 5 stars.

    The season finale is a blood bath with the body count. The idea with them trying to stop Michael was actually entertaining. The direction was rushed and boring with the script. It was worth seeing.

    Overall, AHS Apocalypse i will rate 2 out of 5 stars. The season started out great with an exciting opening episode. But falls flat with boring characters and story when they crossover with Coven and other seasons. The villain of the antichrist was creepy. And it picks up with the season finale with a shocking twist that comes full circle. This was a forgettable season that had a great concept but brought back the worst seasons of AHS to the cross over.

    • Trivia
      Sarah Paulson revealed that after they were done filming, she 'stole' the painting of Myrtle Snow from the set and it now hangs in her home.
    • Goofs
      Before Myrtle visits Jeff Pfister and Mutt Nutter, they say they have to reprogram the Battle Axe 9000 to not remember herself as a robot. Also, Myrtle commands that they allow Coco's family to purchase four seats on a plane to take them to the stronghold. However, Myrtle kills both of them before any changes are made. Yet, in the episodes, those changes are apparent.
