Which season is the best?

Hotel

Coven

Coven for sure. Maybe it wasn't a HORROR story, but it had the best characters by a long shot.

Agreed. It seemed like the only season that wasn't a mish-mash of half-finished, half-realized ideas.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the other seasons of AHS, but Coven was the only one that felt complete, to me.

Oddly enough, I'd give Freak Show my second place. It was an uneven mess, but when it was good it was great.

Most other AHS watchers I've talked to were fans of the second season, Asylum. That was the one I had the hardest time getting into, even though I felt it had the strongest opening of the series.

As soon as they introduced Nazis it kinda fizzled out for me. I feel like 'Nazi" has become shorthand for evil in modern television and movies. Like if the writers are too lazy to write a compelling villain, they just make the bad guy a Nazi and assume that will carry the story.

First half of S1.

Everything else is pretty bad

the editing and cinematography of this show made nauseous.

i bailed out half way through the first season.

Murder House > Asylum >>>>> Hotel >>>> Freak Show >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Literal dogshit >>>> Coven

This. Ryan Murphy can't write or structure a story for shit. I finally gave up after Coven because I was tired of being disappointed and frustrated by everything I've seen of his.

...

Depresses me to think people wanting to tune into this crap every week. I tried to watch it various times at different seasons and it was always cringey and pointless fluff. Just 'Stuff Happening: spooky edition'.

To think this ass gravy gets season after season churning out white noise while decent shows struggle.

What do you recommend watching then?

Murder House = is it a bad sign when you fall asleep in the middle of a ghost story? Needed more Tate and Moira

Asylum = goreshock, granny nun porn

Coven = by far, the best Stevie Nicks video ever made

Freak Show = "So, I want to do 10 hours of closeups of Jessica Lange speaking in a German accent and acting like a controlling bitch"
"Didn't we do the whole Jessica Lange is a Power-obsessed Super Bitch thing in seasons 1,2,and 3?"
"Yes, but this time it will be totally different. You see, she'll be German"
"uh-huh. Well, you see Ryan, that's not really a...horror...concept"
"Oh, right, right. We're doing horror. Uuhhhhh shit...dogs. Are dogs scary? What about midgets?"
"..."
"I know...we'll throw in some clowns. People fuckin' hate clowns. And ventriloquists"

Hotel = (moar like Hostel amiright?) AHS: Now with 50% more sassy gays!

I liked the first 3 a lot. I never finished Freak Show and Hotel just lost me when it started bringing in Murder House elements. I'll check out the new season, but if it's anything like the last 2, I'll probably pull a walking dead and stop watching.

half of the first one

everything else is shit

Why are you both so enamored with the first half of season 1?

What was the turning point?

Four consecutive posts made by absolute retards. I know that stereotypically Sup Forums is filled with dumb fucks but it takes a special kind of retard to enjoy Hotel, Freak Show or Coven.

Your words really hurt, user

I loved Coven, but after while, everybody was dying and getting resurrected immediately. Not good.

THE PATRIARCHY were really a bunch of wasted villains too. They literally did nothing but shit talk the Husband and then all got killed off screen.

Asylum is the only decent one.

This, what the fuck is wrong with everyone else here?

People seem to love Asylum. I am really curious as to why. What did you enjoy about it?

I haven't seen season 2 btw

People seem very adverse to Aliens for some reason.
Though that plot sort of just fizzled out.

i got bored of the first one towards the end and never finished

should i bother with the other seasons?

It has a huge amount going on, and everything that NEEDS to be tied up at the end, is tied up beautifully. Seriously, the ending of s2 was 9/10.

Maybe try the second.
Don't bother with the others unless you like girl drama shows like Pretty Little Liars. They are basically that except with more killing

Season 2 is my favorite, and half way through Coven I completely dropped the series and stopped watching.
