American Horror Story
 

This show is pretty ****in legit. Season 1 was the best so far but we're just starting in on season 3. Steller casting, creepy ass ****, sexytimes, violence... what more can a brotha ask for?

Thoughts?

I have the first two episodes on my DVR for season 3 but haven't watched them yet. I've been hearing stellar things about Kathy Bates' character.

I missed out on the season 2. I need to go back and watch that at some point in time.

I think I saw her in a Stephen King movie a long ass time ago but I don't remember much about the film. So far, she hasn't had much going on for her yet. Season 2 was pretty killer too but there were moments when it kinda dragged on and I got a little bored sometimes. Other people I know who like the show say it was better than S1. Different strokes, I guess.

So far there's a definite theme of prejudice, what with this series focusing on witches and being partially set during America's slavery era. Catching a female-empowerment vibe too, which is cool because a lot of the female characters in the first two seasons were at times the typical "damsel-in-distress" nonsense. Jessica Lange is kind of the same character she was in the first two seasons but is still pretty awesome, borderline GILFy if anyone's into that. Her presence on camera is really stunning.

Yes, the movie she was in was called Misery and I was told that she has a Misery vibe going for her in this season even though they just give glimpses of her so far. I think they were saying she's the overall big bad for the season but idk I felt so spoiled so I was trying to tune out what they were talking about. I'm going to watch the two episodes later on tonight.

I'm not really impressed by Mrs. Bates so far. I loved the first season, skipped the second, and am very unimpressed by this season. Maybe it'll get better.

If I'm not mistaken this season has a different cast for writers, so far I'm not impressed either. It's still a little early to tell but Ep.2 was a bit of a let down.

I have the first season on DVD. Really enjoyed it. Just a complete mind screw. Confusing as it is that's part of the appeal. 2nd season is coming out soon. Am afraid of the quality considering the reception...

Whew, I was worried after episode 2 that the show was going to pull a nip/tuck and start to suck massive chode with this season but after tonight's episode my faith has been restored. Great show! Glad to see it starting to go somewhere.

I watched the first episode and got freaked out! I mean of the first series. I need someone to watch it with so I have protection. Who's house should I visit?

I'd invite you but San Francisco is a loooooooooong way from New Zealand. So far S1 has been the scariest. After that it relies more on being disturbing than jump-scares.
