5 Reasons We All Love "American Horror Story"
Wikipedia

"American Horror Story" has collected a large fandom since its debut in 2011. Many praise the show for its success in pushing the limits of every day TV, some for the concept in itself and others for the pure gore and horror that is packed into every episode. No matter who you are, "American Horror Story" has something to capture your attention and inevitably your heart. These are the reasons I stayed up until 5 a.m. for a week and a half to see all five seasons.

1. Diversity of Seasons

Creating a stimulating and entertaining concept is hard in itself. However, "American Horror Story" takes it to another level by having a fresh idea every season. Whether it's a murder house, a corrupt asylum, a failing witch coven, a freak show, or a bloody hotel, the viewer is always enticed.

2. Plot Lines

These concepts are then twisted into complex plot lines that have ups and downs and lefts and rights and directions you didn't even know were possible. Plot twists that will have you shocked for a week and not sure what to do with your life.

3. Character Development

I never thought I would fall in love with a serial killer and rapist, but the characters are so well-developed in this series you can't help but love them in all their faults. You also learn to hate other characters for their foul soul even if they maintain a pristine appearance. This show truly makes you root for the weirdos and realize the pretty and powerful might not be so perfect.

4. Costumes and Setting

Spanning through all time periods and locations, the crew never ceases to create an environment that feels real (no matter how insane the actual concept is). From the detailed eras of the house to the filthy conditions of the asylum to the darkness of the coven and the freaks of the freak show, they scenes are so delicately put together one cannot help but feel the realness of the horror.

5. Acting

Every actor in this series is extremely talented. You see every single emotion these characters go through. It's even more impressive to think that some of these actors portray a different character each season with precision.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
