American Horror Story-Freakshow

Each season is different with new characters and storyline. Many of the actors are the same tho.

Highly recommend first season. Good stuff

I have never watched any of the other seasons, but this new one seems interesting to me. To understand it, will I have to be up to date on all the seasons before, or is each season a different plot line?

No, but go back and watch Season 1, by far the best out of the 3 so far.

You also might want to check out Season 2, as it sounds like some of the characters in Season 4 are in Season 2, which will show how they got to the Asylum

I still need to watch S1, but am busy with other shows for now. I will say that I tried to jump in and watch S3 live last year, and it was some of the worst television I've ever witnessed. It was laughably horrible.

If they are smart, they will go back to some of the formula from season 1. It was an incredible season. As someone said earlier, even though it was grounded in the supernatural, it didn't go overboard, so you could really believe it was all happening. It felt very real, which made it much more intense/scary. Also, that young maid

Season 2 was okay, but wasn't very scary, and relied too much on "gruesome horror".

Season 3 was just weird. Not very good.

I really hope they make this season scarier than the past 2, and not as campy. I don't have high hopes though. Ryan Murphy is too concerned about using metaphors to give a message about some social issue than making a great show.
