As you know, the world famous show, "American Horror Story," is back to taking up our Wednesday nights at 10 P.M. Screw wearing pink, on Wednesdays, we wear black to show our true Coven-esque personalities. AHS is and has been one of my favorite shows since season one. Something about being scared, creeped out, and impressed just makes the perfect show for me.
However, in recent seasons, AHS was definitely struggling. It all went downhill when Queen Jessica Lange left us in season four, and nothing was the same from there. Seasons five through seven were a bit painful to watch at times, between corny jokes and cringy scenes they thought looked good. The plotlines were horrible, difficult to follow, and each person told stories that disconnected from the others.
Don't get me wrong, I still either watched the episodes as they aired or watched on Netflix later on. But instead of liking them or being entangled in the series, I found myself losing interest and skipping episode after episode.
Roanoke was where I drew the line. It was boring, unentertaining, and reminded me of a horrible store brand "Blair Witch." I stopped watching that season after episode four and still haven't watched it since. When season seven, Cult, followed, I gave it a try. I hoped it wasn't completely about the election, and thankfully it went deeper than that. I definitely had times where I stopped watching, but I went back and finished the entire season. It was honestly pretty good, and I've watched it again since it was put on Netflix.
This season, Ryan Murphy decided to combine every previous season into one big jumble known as "AHS: Apocalypse." I haven't seen it yet, but my excitement is through the roof. When I heard it was focused around Murder House and Coven, I jumped for joy. Then, news broke out that Jessica Lange was coming back, and now I already know it'll be great.
I can't wait to watch the first two episodes, they're recorded on my DVR at home. I hope it lives up to the standards they've been advertising it as, and all I have to say is that I am beyond ready.
