re: American Horror Story - Hotel...how bad was it?

I thought it started out ok, but ended up being terrible. Honestly I feel like each season starts out great and dies about 6 episodes in. I couldn't figure out why a lot of the storylines were included (all the Rudy Valentino bs and the Devils night crew of historic killers, ugh). How Gaga won an award for this is confusing as well. My statement when it was done was "thank god there's no more of that", but I did make it until the end.
