I just finished watching the third season (Coven), and I loved it. I am so pumped for this.

A lot of people didn't like Coven. It was my favorite so far. I stopped watching the first season because I found it boring, and the second season, while I finished it, was a little too intense for me.

I'll be watching. I missed the second half of the season of Coven because we sold our home and moved into the in-laws for a while and they didn't have FX. I hope to revisit the season someday.....but the show in general is very good. They have done a great job at recruiting talent and keeping the talent they have around. This premise seems interesting and I'm sure they will take it places that haven't been expressed before.

Out of the three, my favorite definitely is the second season. Coven, at times, felt a little "light" and silly but was extremely entertaining to watch. The second season probably gathers everything I love about American Horror Story in one punch: scary at times, awkward, great acting, great plot twists, etc.

Spoiler for Season 2 ...




I lost my shit when Bloody Face put on Lana's girlfriend's face as a mask and made Lana kiss it. I was screaming and flailing my arms, and couldn't look at the screen.

Fucking fuck I know, that's probably the thing I missed the most from Coven: real "WTFIS THIS SHIT FUCK" moments.

Spoiler for Season 3...

I think they could have made the whole Papa Legba story somewhat scarier. I loved the character, but the whole "demon" thing could have gone to another level.

Also, the amazing intro sequence is scarier than any of the episodes  :lol

Yeah, I liked Asylum a tad more than Coven. Freak Show definitely has the potential for greatness

Yeah....that was messed up!!! I near turned my head.



The 'thing' in the basement from Season one freaked me out as well. Actually, the entire mood of season one was freaky but the way they handled that basement dwelling 'monster' led to every scene it was involved in to feeling very anxious and on edge....

I liked everything on Season 1 until the very last episodes. I thought it became ridiculous.

The 'happily ever after' in death aspect? Yeah, it was a bit campy and a let down.

Yeah, they made death such a trivial thing to happen. It was like... ok, someone else died. Oh! And they are celebrating Christmas!

That was a thing I didn't particularly enjoy about Coven either, the fact that most characters died or something and they just kept coming back  :lol it was like Dragon Ball Z.

Will watch in Australia, (we don't get the first episode until about three days after you guys)

I have watched each season and I think it just keeps getting better, I love that a lot of the actors return each season.

I saw Sarah P. last night on David Letterman she will play a two headed girl...she mentioned there was a clown I hate clowns maybe since IT or maybe forever...... looking forward to it..... :corn

I've liked each season better than its predecessor. I think that ends with Freak Show, as Coven was just about perfect in every way.

Off to a good start!  That was an awesome season premiere.  Missed season 2-3, will have to netflix it.  We've been looking forward to FS, and last night didn't disappoint us.

Great premiere. Some random thoughts/predictions.


I think Kathy Bates' character is going to end up doing horrific things. She seems troubled and disturbed, and she acts like the freak show is the only thing keeping her going in life.

I'm assuming that Lang's character had her legs blown off during the war. The only way she can still fulfill her dream of being a stage performer is by having the freak show.

The world's smallest girl... very hard to understand. I rewound it four times and couldn't make out what she was saying.

Bette and Dot each have a pair of lungs and a heart, how does one inhale smoke and the other exhale it?

That clown... fuck that clown.

The spoiled rich kid fucks his mom.

We will see the twins have sex with each other.

Yeah...the kid and his mom, biggest freaks in the show... :lol

I'm sure we'll get new "Attractions" as the season progresses.  Lobster boy has a good gimmick for making some $$$$.

Yeah, that was wrong indeed. Writers should have known that. But it's a freak show after all.

Great start, many secret characters and their lives to be solved and that fucking clown.

Loved the episode....the opening credits creepier than ever.

Some interesting characters, and there will be more introduced we haven't seen half of the normal cast.

The small girl, I am clueless to what she is saying as well.

I know they filmed the season in Louisiana when I saw the clown on the carousel by himself....I wondered whether they filmed some scenes at the deserted amusement park (after Katrina....creepy video on you tube)

The scene with the clown in the trailer and the two in cages....I have to wonder what sort of mother would let their child that small (they said he was four...) act in a scene like that? I assume it will only get worse...the poor kid will be scarred for life.

Looking forward to the rest of the season.   :corn

I finally got around to watching this.

I LOVED IT.

It was far more scary than anything in Coven, which is an amazing thing in my book.

I've watched all seasons but the second.  Coven got pretty boring to me, as I did not really have any emotional investment in any characters.  I thought the premiere to this season was just okay.  Beyond the stereotypical horror movie tricks and gags, there didn't seem to be much substance to it.  Was there anything memorable at all beyond the clown?  I spent the entire episode trying to decide if I thought the two-headed chick looked believable or not from a CGI perspective.

The second is the best one. You should watch it ASAP.

The second was good up until you realize they tried to add as many horror tropes/clichés and "monsters" as possible.

The first one has been the best one so far, each subsequent one has been disappointing (Coven being the most egregious one). Freakshow is off to a refreshingly good start, though.

Really? I think it's going just fine.

This season is scarier than anything previously done on AHS so far, and that's excellent in my book.

Yeah I don't know why but it really hasn't engaged me yet. I've liked the other seasons a lot but thus far these two episodes have done nothing to really interest me.
