Murder House - really liked it

Asylum - Not as good as Murder House, but I still liked it.

Coven - struggled through it, kept thinking this is going to get good and it never really did.

Freakshow - started off good (loved the premise) and then really fizzled. Was a struggle for me to even finish.

Hotel - didn't even start it. By the end of Freakshow I had other shows I thought were more worth the time. How is it? Worth a watch?

Roanoke - didn't even know about it. I thought Hotel was the last one they did. What was this one about? Any good?

I got bored with the series a couple episodes into season 3 after already getting a bit tired of the bad writing throughout seasons 1 and 2 - mainly the nonsense plot elements that don't lead anywhere. But prior to that I enjoyed 1-2 for the most part. Never bothered with the rest of the seasons and I doubt I'll bother with Cult. Apparently it's a bunch of political bullshite relating to the election:

Murder House - Made me love this show. Brilliant first season.

Asylum - I agree it's not as good as MH. It was okay. Aliens and shite.

Coven - i actually enjoyed the campiness of the season. It was different, and I was okay with it. I understand why people wouldn't be though.

Freak show - Twisty and Dandy were fricking great. Jessica Lange as the lead artist in a band? Not so much. I put it behind Asylum and MH.
.
Hotel - started it. Half-assed finished it. It was very meh.

Roanoke - I think I watched the first episode and the last episode. I have no interest in the middle.


I saw the cast Lena Dunham for this season. That was enough to make me say I'm done.

It was alright. The last 2 episodes felt kind of like Murder House again, so that was good. The rest of it was so-so. Overall I'd say it was better than Freakshow (I didn't watch hotel either, so can't tell you about that).

Pretty much every season starts out really promising and spirals into meaningless tripe by the last 3-4 episodes.

I thought Roanoke started off bad and got better towards the end though. The last 2 episodes were basically slasher films.

But yeah, Freakshow squandered the premise the most I thought. Everything went downhill after the clown died.

Murder House > Asylum > Roanoke > Freakshow > Coven > Hotel

Yep, that's exactly how I would rank it (with exclusion of Hotel due to not seeing it).

I liked Hotel quite a bit. Hell, I put it right behind Murder House. Evan Peters and Denis O'Hare were terrific in it. Lady Gaga was pretty good and she has an arse and a half.

I gave up on both Coven and Roanoake. Liked Freakshow a bit because it had good villains. Asylum was too depressing, although I loved the scene where they sang "The Name Game".

It's always flashy but the substance sucks. I liked Murder House and Asylum but now that Murphy has gone through every fetish ever invented I guess he figures what the hell I'll cast Queen Prog Lena and do the election.

I loved Murder House and really liked Asylum. Coven was awful and I stopped watching after a few episodes. Didn't even watch Freakshow because of how bad Coven was and the concept didn't interest me much. I watched Hotel...it was ok. Roanoke was pretty good.

Of the seasons that I watched:

1. Murder House
2. Asylum
3. Roanoke
4. Hotel

Murder House - loved it

Asylum - Liked it. Thought writers could have done more.

Coven - Was ok, but kept thinking they could have done so much more. Lazy writers confirmed.

Freakshow - Some really good moments along with some really bad ones. Writers took some episodes off.

Hotel - Never saw it. Felt it would be an indirect rip of the Shining. Lazy

Roanoke - First couple of episodes really freaked me out. From there it got really bland and I decided the writers weren't going to get any better.


With Cult said to have a lot of political undertones, I'm not interested. We've had enough of that shite and I think it is the ultimate form of lazy writers who can't think up any original material. Shitty comics have rejoiced the past year because they don't have to do anything. I don't need my horror shows doing the same.

I think the show would benefit from a shorter season.

I've watched every season, through good and bad, but I will not watch with Lena Dunham on the cast. Not only is she a shitty person, but she sucked the soul out of her own show with her shitty acting.
