Peters: I need a break from the dark, psychotic characters...
Also Peters: Jeffrey Dahmer
😂
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
Lol proof actors are professional liars 😂🤣
Lol it doesn't make any sense 😂
@@pettykittyfam Well, to be fair, Evan probably agreed to do Dahmer so that Ryan would shut up and leave him alone. Besides, it wasn't his idea to play Dahmer, it was Ryan who looked for him.
Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan peters...no words needed..they was the best of a.h.s
Wes Bentley was pretty good too I like season 5
and Kathy Bates
Emma was good too though,but Kim kardashian?Nah
Lily Rabe, Denis O'Hare, and Frances Conroy are really great too for me.
Kathy, Emma, and Taissa were the best as well
1. Jessica Lange is the queen of AHS
2. Nobody is sick of Sarah Paulson
3. Fans don’t want AHS to end.
4. Fans don’t hate 1984, Double Feature is the most hated one
Now there are two most hated seasons: 10 & 11
I didn't really like the look of 1984 so I never got around to seeing it. I did see double feature tho, and while it was disappointing that they didn't just pick an idea and focus on it I did enjoy both themes on an individual basis.
@@ivanmayet7879 lmao true
Facts !!!!
1984 was AWESOME!!
I’m sorry but, how on earth could you completely skip over Lily Rabe’s many contributions to the show? She was absolutely tremendous in Asylum and Coven, then was very disappointingly under utilized until Roanoke. Even her smaller role in Hotel was stellar.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU!!!
❤
She's so effing great and her Sister Mary Eunice s2 was amazing. Truly deserves more respect and was the only good acting in the double feature show.
I think they left it out because she’s still part of the series
It went downhill fast after Jessica Lange left. She was the best!
Oh my goodness finally someone who has the same favorite character as me lol 😂
Yes that's true but it's going get worse now evan peters has left
She was amazing
Apparently Jessica is reappearing.
About time and she is an absolute pleasure to watch
@@lernco4492 Where did you hear that? Do you have a source? 😮
1984 was NOT worse than Double Feature
they should have connected Kit & his kids to Death Valley
They both were absolutely awful
Agree
1984 is one of my favorite seasons!
@@pchaparala mine too 💯
Jessica Lange was fantastic in the show. You never knew which way the coin would flip, if she was good, bad or ugly from season to season. She set the bar for all the other actors!
She was the anchor. The show had no true central star to wrap the plots around when she left...it was all over the map and hodgepodge-y each season afterwards. That last NYC season was just the pits...
I miss her
1984 isn’t the worst season, and actually is one of my favorites. I would assign that honor to Double Feature. It was really abysmal.
I agree. I couldn't finish double feature. I did watch all of 1984 and didn't mind that one, NYC dragged but managed to finish that one.
@@amandawalker7739 felt the same way about NYC. Knowing what I know now I would not have wasted my time. This new season seems god awful. I got through the first episode and have not gone back since.
The new seasons just seem preachy to me and boring.
It’s my favorite, too!
Yea 1984 is awesome! Double Feature is weak...NYC is just unwatchable. It's literaly SO gay. And I say that in that it's about being gay and the AIDS epidemic. It's just way way way too much. It grosses me put
Coven, Asylum, & murder house will always be my favorite’s…. Ahs hasn’t been the same without Jessica Lang, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Gabby, & Angela Bassett
Agree.
I liked Roanoke as well
@@trinadeerhodes Roanoke is when it completely feel apart
Completely agree. The first three were amazing. Nice to see Quinto back though.
My 3 favorites too! I did like freak show though and hotel! After that it was like they fell off. But I could tolerate 1984, cult and apocalypse.
I really felt the chaotic writing with Hotel, which is one season I've never finished. Seems like theres 12 different plot lines happening all at once and 75% of the male casting that season looked the exact same which caused more confusion for me.
This is so understandable. I loved Hotel but can totally agree with it being chaotic writing. The thing with the male actors is so confusing but even more so when the same ones are playing different characters in within that season
@@creativericardo4736 yeah the male casting is really honestly where the season lost me. No matter how hard I actually paid attention I would still end up so confused. Shame because Gaga's character was stellar.
The males all HAD to look the same because the Countess was replacing her true love with guys who looked like him
She got along with JP March because they both liked to kill
I liked Hotel but I totally agree about the male actors looking the same. I had a hard time differentiating storylines sometimes until It became evident which story was being told because of the similarities of the actors.
I’m currently rewatching hotel and really loving it but that’s probably because it’s the first of the older seasons I’ve seen in awhile after the disappointment of the last few. So many male actors do look the same though😭 I keep thinking they’re all Darren Criss and needing to remind myself they killed his bit character off already.
It’s also hilarious because they make an off handed joke about Kim K in it and I’m like you all have cast her in the new season, is this really what we’ve come to🥲
On a more positive, it reminds me that I’d really love to see Lady Gaga given a similar role in another narrative and allowed to just really run with the part, I think it could be excellent.
i used to love AHS its just so disappointing how this great and unique show has fallen 😔
All the seasons were great except the latest one. The fact it lasted 11 seasons is incredible. All shows have to wrap. Even TWD and GOT had to end their run.
I watch Roanoke when it came out because after I discovered the show I was always excited for the next season, but Roanoke was so weird and the storyline was messy and a lot of people thought the same
Well the last two seasons are god awful sooooo nowhere to go but up?
@@RgungujfcRoanoke was one of my favourites.
Sarah Paulson is so underrated (as clichè as it sounds). She played ao many demanding roles in AHS but also Ratchet and American Crime Story yet she recieves no credit or awards. I don't get it! Also Evan Peters deserves way more credit for the same reasons.
It's probably because she's not a very nice person in real life.
@@canadianbeef1958 why is she not nice what did she do?
@@canadianbeef1958 Yeah what did she do? I mean let's separate the work she's done from her real life story, you have to give credit when credit is due! Unless she kills babies, puppies and kittens in her basement of course!
She won all the awards for playing Marcia Clark in The People vs Oj Simpson ( American Crime Story season 1 ). Sarah deserved more for Impeachment ( season 3 ). Too bad that it doesn’t look like there will be a second season of Ratched and that season 10 of ahs will probably be her last.
I LOVE Sarah
I actually enjoyed 1984 a lot , it’s one of my favorites besides hotel , freak show , and murder house
Thank you! I really loved 1984.
I really loved 1984. I don't think is awful like everyone says...
Cult and ncy are the worst
@@laurel.o well, i don't think cult was a bad season, but ncy was horrible...
You lost me at Hotel
Evan was superb in Hotel.. I absolutely loved him in that season. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, my favorite season but all of seasons before it were horrifying as well.
It’s a shame. I remember when I used to be excited to learn another season was coming soon. Haven’t felt that in a very long time. Now I won’t even blink at it. They’ve worn it out for sure and it was only looking forward to certain solid cast members like Peters and Paulson that was of interest. Honorable mentions to Frances, Finn, Billie and Cody.
‘American Horror Stories’ is the worst though. Both seasons were totally crap!
You should give NYC a chance. I was done with AHS but NYC was one of the most meaningful depiction of HIV I’ve seen in a long time.
@@Msasha2727 Nah, it was incredibly boring. I lived through the AIDS epidemic and didn’t need or want another study in it. What I needed was some good characters, story and some top notch AHS weirdness. Didn’t get any of that.
I really miss Jessica, Sarah, Evan, Angela, lily, and Gabourey.
Jessica Lange is a wise woman! She knew when it was time to leave. All of my favorite seasons agree when she's in them.
Like any show you do your time then you move on. She's made enough money and can retire and enjoy life.
it really bothers me that 1984 was and is considered one of the worst seasons... its honestly my absolute favorite season. as a true horror movie buff, i really loved the classic slasher style story. but maybe my unpopular opinion is just that. UN POPULAR....
Jingles was a LOT like Jack Baker from Resident Evil 7, which I liked.
An innocent man turned into a monster.
And the rivalry between him and Ramirez was fun to watch.
Yeah, I don't understand the hate for it.
Yes 1984 was probably my favorite season
Same it’s one of my favs
1984 was the best one out of the last seasons, if only they could keep it up after
Same! 100% my favorite.
Why so much hate on 1984 lol I loved it 😂 I love slasher movies and that season was full of it. Worst season was the politician one!
Right I enjoyed 1984 a lot my all time favorite would have to be murder house 😁
yes that one was awful
That one was awful toon
I loved 1984, so retro took me back to horrors in my day..... It was excellent....
Totally agree
I personally think Death Valley is the series lowpoint. Red Tide was shaping up to be my favorite season until the final episode. I also personally think the got the most unique and creative with roanoke. Such a brilliant and scary season
I honestly loved the double feature. Limitless and aliens were great. The fact they split it in half doesn't overstay its welcome.
Jessica was just absolutely amazing. The first season I ever saw was Freak show, and I fell in love with the first 4 seasons. I was super excited to watch Hotel, but was so disappointed. I got into the show when it started going down hill
Jessica Lange, the queen of knowing when it’s enough
And that's how she remains her title 😅
Jessica Lange was one the show's main pillars. No Lange, no Bates, no Paulson, no go for me. I'm pretty sure Lange got sick and tired of playing the same character over and over again; bitchy antagonist with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other. She has so much more range than that. That's not how you treat a two-time Oscar winner. She got out because she knew the show was going downhill. I believe AHS is responsible for taking Hagsploitation to a whole new level. AHS also became too formulaic and I think, in general, Ryan Murphy's personal prejudices and biases come out in blazing glory in his shows.
It can still work with fresh new cast. The old cast are tired of the show and have moved on and they've all become A list stars.
@@jonfreeman9682 only if the writing is good could it work with a new cast. Some of the older seasons were watchable purely because of the cast
@@jonfreeman9682 not sure outside of Evan peters and Sarah Paulson, who would be considered A-Listers. A-Listers are people who could carry a movie on their own name
I thought 1984 was in general pretty well received? At least I would personally rank it higher than half of the other seasons. Double Feature, on the other hand, had a promising start with the first episodes but instead of building upon that foundation, they ended it super hastily to make time for the second half which was just awful. Honestly, I wouldn't mind AHS continuing for 20 seasons as it always has some interesting concepts thrown in, even in the worse seasons. There's not really any other shows like it.
I remember when the first season came out it was considered so groundbreaking! My mom and I would tune in every Wednesday lol. I think part of it's "downfall" is 1. losing beloved actors 2. Running out of ideas 3. High expectations from its viewers 4. Length of series. Some of the seasons people seem to hate I actually loved and vice versa, but sometimes even seasons with a promising start would fizzle out because you can only stretch out so much plot so it either starts to dull out or more random crap gets added to fill in the gaps that doesn't even make sense. I will continue to follow the series, but I know that it sometimes leaves something to be desired.
I have really mixed feelings about American Horror Story. I've watched most of it but for the most part it's like watching someone hurt themselves doing something stupid. The first half of last season and what I've seen so far of the latest actually feel like they're trying to say something. NYC is really hard to watch because of the reality of it.
No way 1984 is considered the worst. Roanoke clearly takes that spot. I think what happened in people realized how amazingly talented Murphy is and he is being spread too thin. And yes I would love to see Jessica Lange back for just one more season.
I don't understand why Roanoke gets so much hate lol. It was a phenomenal season. To me 1984 was just all around trash. Literally couldn't even finish it.😑🙄
@@jbland7737agreed! Roanoke was one of my favorites.
Roanoke was so good I personally didn’t like 1984
roanoke & 1984 are good, the ailen side of double feature & delicate are the worst ones
Roanke is like the ghost shows me and my sister watched in the 2000s going to school everyday after school so we loved roanoke
A big problem is so many fans openly state they know it's getting terrible, but they'll still watch it anyway. With that knowledge, the people behind the show know they really don't have to try. It's pretty evident that they never have a concrete plot planned and they just make it up as they go, which could be fixed in editing if they took the proper time, but they rush episodes out.
You know it's more likely the early seasons didn't have much competition as this is FX cable show then the age of streaming and cord cutting siphoned off a lot of viewers. Also it's hard to keep coming up with fresh new story ideas so the early seasons capture all your best ideas then you're running on fumes in later seasons racking your head trying to come up with new stories.
It just simply ran it's course, but because the show has become iconic , they keep pushing it past it's course, which is leading towards lack of creativity, forced concepts, & repetition, the show came served it's purpose, was amazing, revived a genre & now it's time for that finale curtain call ...period!
Incredibly stated 👏🏾
Not to mention, it's becoming too political. I can't speak for anyone else but when I watch a movie, I watch it to take my mind off the things that are actually going on around me and to be entertained, when they start bringing politics into entertainment I loose interest, jmo.
@@msceen.8843idk how to tell you this but everything is political, it’s only when it differentiates from what is acceptable or normalized do people get in a tizzy, like you.
I didn't like cult, rohanoke, nyc 1984. Loved coven, murder house & apocalypse the most. Enjoyed hotel, apocalypse & double feature as it has a lot of conspiracy theories mixed in that make it even more horrifying to me knowing so much more then most people.
I loved all of them except season 11 NYC and cult.
I think the NYC was the furthest from horror than any other. I think it deserved a stand alone show.
It's a different take on horror, but I agree. I think most fans just don't know how to take NYC. I thought it was good, but I also grew up in the 80s and 90s so some of it was filling in some gaps for me.
Or to just not be made at all, I understand the premise but the horror of a disease is a bit god damn boring. If I want disease and horror I'll play Resident Evil lol
@@midnightriot2454 I enjoyed it. It shouldn't be made because you found it boring? That's a harsh take. Keep in mind it wasn't just the horror of a disease but also how people were treated because of their sexuality, and the illness that they had. A gay man can't make a series about something relevant to his life experience because you found boring. Very myopic view friend.
@@agdoren nah,it really shouldn't have been made,it was a horrible representation of aids (it's a sin did everything NYC did so much better)
It isn't actually. It's a good way to not traumatize people who already lived through the era. The last Episode where Gino's partner died was upsetting enough as it was. I'm only 32 and I was freaked out by the entire season because I couldn't imagine living through something like that and not understanding what's happening.
So yeah it might not be a real American Horror Story for you but it is for those of us who are queer and know people with HIV/AIDS
Yo pienso que el problema con American horror story es que cada año quieren sacar una temporada nueva de forma rápida, sin planear muy bien la trama y luego es que no saben como terminar la temporada hacen las cosas muy apresuradas y terminan sin saber que hacer
there’s a lot of good points here.
I think AHS has always been consistently-inconsistent, for better and for worse
I don't know for certain what it might be, but, Jessica Lange was definitely most of the glue that held that show together & all of my friends' interests. I wanted more Dylan McDermott, too, & 1984 seemed like a mocking rip off of Friday the 13th, & those other horror films of my youth.
It seems to me that Ryan hires more & more cast members, (& many of them new faces to add onto the list)because they're also gay, or bi, or trans,& not by talent, or acting merit. Like I said, I don't know for certain, but, many of my own LGBT friends even think that.
1984 was awesome. You really had to have a reverence for 80s slashers to really appreciate it for what it was. Episodes 1-5 were the best. Asylum was hands down the best of the series.
1984 was so much better than this season
They really could’ve made a full season on the first part of “double feature”
Completely agree with this. I really enjoyed Red Tide up until the final episode. It was a different take on vampires than they did back in Hotel and they seemed to be going for 'back to basics' type approach that drew from what worked well in earlier seasons. If they had just given it the time to wrap it up properly we could have gotten a great' season.
Heck I even think even 'Death Valley' could have been a solid season if they had given it a full season rather than 4 episodes. The conspiracy theory stuff was fun and I liked how it all tied in to famous mysteries. With a better and longer modern day storyline that wrapped things up properly it could have been a perfectly fine season.
Personally, I am a HUGE fan of series 3. Coven remains my favourite of all seasons to this day. The actors are well cast, the characters are well developed and MOST of its plot is sound. Also, it's a relatively short season compared to some others. It doesn't drag on and concludes nicely.
Apocalypse, although weaker, was a nice follow up to it, but I wish it had taken the cohesiveness of Coven and used that as its base.
What puzzles me though, is that if they could create a follow up season to Coven, why can't they do something similar to the others?
otoh, I do love how some seasons seem to be connected by little things. THAT is what makes AHS so exciting, seeing those references or bringing in a character from a different season's timespan. I must admit I have not really been able to watch the later seasons after Apocalypse. So I can't judge on them.
The major gripes most of us have with the series? The looseness of plotlines, the chaotic writing within them and the lack of strong leads seem to be the main points I see making. Plotlines within AHS have been an issue since season 2. I don't think there has ever been a season where a MAJOR plotline is taken from episode 1 full on to the final episode. They always seem to fall short a few episodes before the end. THAT is due to bad or chaotic writing. It can be solved by either squeezing out every ounce of interest into the entire season, or shorten the season in episodes so the MAJOR plotline can run full course and not leave us wanting. Ultimately, it will improve the quality of the show.
A major strong point of AHS has always been its firm cast. The same actors playing different characters over different seasons. THAT is also AHS' main weakness, since actors don't always lend themselves to such extensive jobs. IMHO, the solution is to keep actors on for say, at least 2 or 3 seasons and then roulate with other actors doing the exact same thing. Instead of having actors getting tired or disgruntled with playing heavy roles for an extensive period of time, they have a set timespan ánd get to enjoy some freedom from the darkness for a while before coming back. In turn it also allows more creativity and diversity throughout the seasons since every actor brings something different to the table.
However, during any season span there should be at least 1 or 2 MAJOR LEADS. Male or female IDC, though I have to admit the female leads have been exemplary sofar. Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, Dennis O'Hare etc.... iconic actors and iconic portrayals.
The show desperately needs a steady set of TRUE actors to be the backbone of every storyline, while having throw away roles / sidekick roles for non-actors or wannabe hangers on in the show. I mean, let's face it, SOMEONE has to die at SOME point.
1. Murder House
2. Asylum
3. Roanoke
4. Coven
5. Apocalypse
6. Freak Show
7. 1984
8. Hotel
9. Cult
***a Grand Canyon-sized gap***
10. Double Feature
11. Delicate
My current season rankings. I always love seeing everybody elses
You forgot NYC! Season 11 and Delicate season 12
After 8th season AHS not same as it was.... I'm missing old ahs days.
1984 was a fantastic period piece. Underrated.
I can’t believe how awful NYC was
I kinda liked it
It was different but Ryan did that season while also putting out Jeffery dahmer series and it reminded me of each other
Same lmao
Like he’s not creative enough to separate his projects. PA-lease.
It was horrible I couldn’t even finish it
The 35 writers per season is a huge problem.
Hotel is the best season without Jessica Lange but still not the same without her. I always wonder how amazing each season without Jessica Lange would have been with her in them. Like it depresses me sometimes knowing she could have been in them and isn't and I just wish she would walk around a corner and continue being the queen she is! I love Jessica Lange and the seasons she was in! ❤
Absolutely agree, would have loved to see Jessica Lang and Lady Gaga enemies in Hotel or even her mother
@@meganclare6477 Omg that would be so awesome! Ugh we can only dream I guess 😭
Don’t need her. Hotel had GAGA and she ROCKED IT
They stopped being about raw horror and spent too much time concerning themselves with political matters
all the seasons are political, maybe they just touched a nerve
ALL season are political?!? I guess that means u haven’t actually seen them.
@@solgato5186 yeah I don’t know how people don’t see the obvious political aspect of every single season.
Go woke get broke
How’s nyc not raw horror-
Jessica Lange ruled the series. It was never the same after her.
1984 gave us more John Caroll Lynch!🥳
Coven is still my favorite season. I just watched it again since I think 2018 when I started watching the series and that season still sticks with me the most
I actually don't feel that let down by the show. I'm looking forward to new stories ❤🔪
Same. I didn't like their latest season 11 but honestly all the prior 10 seasons was great. But I'm late to the franchise and only discovered it now.
I really liked the first part of Double Feature! I agree, the ending was rushed. They should have just expanded the first half and gotten rid of the Death Valley portion. Out of the last few seasons, Cult and onward, it is my favorite. I still hold hope for future seasons.
Each season is so unique showing a different horror theme and I love it!
I miss Evan and Sarah so much.
I loved NYC which was completly different from other seasons and without the usual cast. So haunting and such a insight into such a dark period of the 80s.
Just started WATCHING AHS NEW YORK LOVE IT
I will not watch any season that has Kim Kardashian in it. I've been a loyal fan since the first season, but I refuse to watch a Kardashian!
Jessica Lange made that show. Without her nobody could carry it
I gave up after apocalypse. Jessica Lange and Angela Basset were a dream to watch in those early seasons. Glad they moved on though. The show should have ended a while ago. But like ‘True Blood’, ‘Lost’ and so many groundbreaking shows before it, it’ll keep going until it completely ruins the magic of its premise.
1. 1984 was an excellent season. It was a perfect play on that genre of movies in that time period and the storyline with a more sexually played on then how it was back then. I loved it.
2. I liked double feature, but only the first half of it because it was an interesting take on a vampire story and I’m a sucker for vampire stories. The second half was like a really bad episode of The X-Files. Like it was an episode that was written, but never approved to go through and somebody found the script and used it for American horror story.
3. Sarah Paulson will never ever be not welcome by the fans, and we will always want to see her in American horror story in someway, shape or form.
4. Gabby yes queen you need to direct an episode because you understand the genre because of how much you’ve been a part of it and I would love to see you Direct and episode or even a couple.
5. NYC was a story that needed to be told because it was a part of our history and it’s always pieces of that type of history that always gets overlooked and they were able to do something with it. I will admit I had a hard time watching the season, but I appreciate the story and I’m glad that it was told.
6. And I find it interesting that Evan Peter says that American horror story took a toll on him mentally, but yet he went along and did Dahmer. That mini series in itself was probably more of a mental fuck then the American horror story seasons, he was a part of.
7. Now I wouldn’t be mad if they made more American horror stories episodes as opposed to an entire season. Because I did like a lot of those stories, and I also liked how they utilized murder house more in some of those episodes.
i need a whole season of dollhouse!!
Murder house, asylum, coven, freak show, hotel, Roanoke(unpopular choice) and 1984 still had that classic AHS VIBE everything else to me wasn’t good
I agree. I actually liked Roanoke. Waaaay better than Cult.
@@lilchicklets totally agreed. It’s definitely the scariest and darkest one
@@lilchicklets yeah I was about to say it’s very popular
I agree 100% except I would add Apocalypse!
@@mindichaney3678 I loved Apocalypse!
*The show has taken a nosedive! I watched only 2 episodes of the most recent seasons and only half of the season before. it really needs to get the OG's back*
There's been some awesome actors who have been apart of the series. I really loved Jessica though and was sad when she wasn't in the series. (I jumped on the series very late)
I feel that seasons 1-4 were the best, 5-6 weren’t that bad, 7-8 were ok, 9-11 bad. After apocalypse, I couldn’t really get into the stories , they didn’t have the same edge as the others had.
Same, and without Sarah or Evan or Kathy or Angela or especially Jessica, it’s not holding up. They spoiled us.
This is silliness. Each season is a masterpiece in and of itself only to be tied together in the larger picture. AHS is a wonder of modern horror television and no one is sick of any of it.
I respect your opinion but girl even just look at the comments on this video alone- it’s impossible to avoid fans talking about how the quality of the show is declining. At least for me, it hasn’t been a “wonder of modern television” since season 4
I don't want to say that is was the best written season. But I personally adore it and I would have been content with it's own separate show and many that make up the fandom, feel the same. Ryan should have really followed through with a Coven spin-off that he danced around. The excitement I felt when I heard Apocalypse was coming out, just to see the witches all over again- ugh. It felt refreshing even though it was old characters. It's just a world they could have played with and carried on for a few seasons. Of course not in Horror Story alone. But it was such a missed opportunity to have been a show on it's own.
There’s a quote from the Christopher Nolan Batman films that I think applies to tv shows, “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” & sadly I think AHS has lived long enough to become the villain😕it’s damn shame, I used to really enjoy this show. In my opinion it went downhill after Hotel
I think the new season has redeemed the show in my opinion. The performances at the end were very powerful.
I miss Sarah Paulson. Red Tide was amazing and I wish it was longer.
I'm totally agree with you
Red Tide and Asylum are my favs. Sarah just got bigger, so I dont blame her for picking up projects that would benefit her career more.
I feel like Apocalypse was the last season that made sense to the original franchise like it linked everything. 1984 was a really good idea and I liked the season but after that season it kinda hit a different vibe that I can’t fully get behind. I still watch the new seasons, but you can tell things changed just enough for the first few seasons to be the best ones out of everything.
I think one of the main problems is that the first and second seasons were released at a moment in which TV shows had less production and quality, so anything above the standar looked amazing.
Then the industry changed and TV shows looked more like a film and we started to demand better plots and production. This show gives me the impression that it has struggled to catch up ever since.
They need to end this now!!!
1984 was amazing.
I think it depends on your idea of horror and what your favourite style of horror is to weather you will enjoy a season of AHS personally I like season 1,2,4,6,9 and 11 as the other season's just weren't my favourite style of horror I do hope they keep going
Jessica Lange is so versatile flexible dedicated and unbreakable both as an actress and person! I love you Jessica ♥
i loved american horror story. theres no show like it anymore. not even the show itself.
1984 is not a season fans dont enjoy, it was a season people didn't like in the beginning but if you look up voting etc, it's actually a season that people appreciate. Especially if you compare it to the ones that has come out after that. People did not like apolacypse(i enjoyed it), people hated double feature (except a bit of the first part) and its mixed reviews on NYC (me personally hating it).
Ugh. I hated 1984 and the recent NYC. They are both horrible.
Roanoke was the death of AHS for me. I've watched all seasons, and the spin-off, but nothing will ever top Asylum.
Degrading? Cult, 1984 and Double Feature were amazing!
naaahhh i loved 1984
NYC was meh for me. I can appreciate the social commentary of the season, but I've always preferred the more classic horror and supernatural element of the series. 1984 was enjoyable, with the first half of double feature being the better of the two. Sadly though it does feel the show is declining and fast. I am getting the same feeling I had with The Walking Dead around season 7/8 lol loss of interest and not eagerly anticipating following work.
Absolute faves of AHS: Asylum, Freak Show, Murder House and 1984
Here's a secret: Ryan's shows are only GOOD if they're his "favored" thing to work on. For example, POSE was amazing in Season 1, but Season 2 began to make crazy choices as 2018/2019 was when Ryan was trying to juggle 9-1-1, American Horror Story: Apocalypse and American Horror Story: 1984.
American Horror Story had reached top profitability in 2014/2015. Right after Freak Show and before Hotel. Ryan at the time was juggling SCREAM QUEENS: Season 1, American Crime Story: Season 1, and trying to begin FEUD. Jessica probably saw that Ryan was a man who had way too many toys and not enough time to play with them. And then Evan saw. And then Sarah saw. And Lily Saw.
Now AHS isn't a show you want to stay multiple seasons on, unless you're connected to Coven or Murder House. 1984 squandered potential. Double Feature was rushed and terrible. And NYC was just "The Normal Heart" mixed with "Angels in America" with Spirit Halloween decorations glued on.
Am I the only one who didn't like Hotel? I love Coven most, then Apocalypse, then Asylum, then Murder House, then 1984.
Apart of me refuses to watch again after the disappointment of double feature and nyc. It baffles me that Ryan never addressed the outrage from the public. I feel like ever since they’ve tried to do the Hulu American horror stories show it completely went down hill
I hope they don’t stop this show. Honestly it’s my favorite tv show ever. I get so excited when new season comes out.
You may be one of the reasons they're considering expanding... personally I think they should have left well enough when they had an amazing thing, but there will always be the long standing fans. It is what it is I guess.
My favorite season of American Horror story is covenant. After 1984 it definitely started going down. Ryan really needs to bring the show back to the feeling of the first few seasons.
Murder House - Hotel were the best seasons. Roanoke is where they lost me. I've seen every season and since Roanoke, I've just been sadly disappointed
For me personally, I think Roanoke and Cult are the two weakest seasons. People generally didn't like Hotel but I loved the vibe and loved Gaga
They should just cancel the show. All the good cast are gone and this last season sucked so bad I can’t even think about watching another shit season
AHS NYC just seemed like Ryan Murphys gay fantasy
@@THENGSandSTUFFexactly which is why im not watching a single second of nyc
@@supercharger101 I watched the entire thing. It has maybe 1 or 2 good scenes out of the whole season. It’s a complete disaster. The state of the show saddens me deeply
1984 started corny, but it redeems itself drastically. With AHS i always find it's best to take on a "trust the process" mentality.
The process really only started failing me in season 10 (double feature). I went in blind with no knowledge of what the plot was (as I always do). I was so excited the entire duration of episode 7 cause I thought it was going to ultimately tie into the first half of the season.
After episode 7 finished and I googled the season. I realized that double feature basically means two stories. I was intensely disappointed because that first half ended so abruptly. it definitely felt to me like the characters had been gloriously set up for some incredible reveal, but, no, it just..ended...at the height of the story.
Though I will admit, I didn't hate season 10 at all. Both stories were interesting, they didn't seem fleshed out and finished, but they were definitely interesting.
Season 11 on the other hand... Season 11 might be one for the critics and deep thinkers who find layers in everything but it was not my cup of tea. Upon learning what the big reveal was, I did wish id stuck it out just so I could've had that satisfying aha moment. However, In hindsight, I couldn't have done it. As far as my personal preferences go, I gave them a lot of stick with those first 3 episodes, and it did not deliver for me.
Still a die-hard fan though.
I loved all the seasons except season 11. I started but couldn't get past the first episode. It didn't even feel like AHS. But first 10 seasons I enjoyed it all except maybe cult.
They officially lost me at Roanoake, I was surprised as I had always found that story intriguing, but I just couldn't continue after the half way point. Hated Asylum.. took 2 attempts to get into Freak Show though it was decent in the end. Hotel and Murder House are easily my favourites in that order.
I enjoyed the first 4 seasons. After that lost interest.
Unbiased Opinion. Most seasons of AHS are solid, I personally didnt watch freakshow because it was too weird and I eat when I watch shows but aside from that its mostly average or very good.
Season 10 and 11 are just complete garbage. The UFO season was watchable and they could've done alot with it, season 11 I didnt even bother finishing. It's just about gay men getting killed by a serial killer, I'm assuming this is to bring some type of awareness but making a whole season about that is very boring. I watch shows to be entertained not to learn about politics, AHS specifically isnt set in the real world which is what makes it even more interesting.
Vampire season felt the same as the UFO season, there's so much they could do with it but it just felt shit. Writing was pretty bad too lol they ignore 10 red flags before moving into the house
Cult was the last season I watched and I found it a chore to get through.
Yeeessss keep going & the story got hard to explain cause it went all over the place… lighten it up but keep the creativity & creepiness
1984 was far from the worst season. NYC, and Cult. Bottom 2. Followed by the split season. The rest of them were very good.
The genie of the whole franchise has ended after Asylum. Way before Jessica quit the show. Watch Murder house and Asylum again and after watch the rest. Huge differences in quality, its whole got just dramatically changed and yeah there were good seasons as well but ever since Cult it changed a lot.
I only started watching AHS when the first episode of season 8 aired in Germany. I then decided to watch it and omg I fell in love with it. Season 1 - 3 are amazing, with 2 being my most favorite. I was so sad when Jessica Lange stopped to play roles and when I watched season 6, I noticed the downfall of the series. I absolutely hate season 7 and I only like season 8, because Jessica reappeared.
Before everyone bashed 1984, everyone bashed Roanoke, I really enjoyed both.
AHS Fall River / Lizzie Borden....do a Story about The Murders and somehow connect it to the Witches...maybe one of them is a Distant Relative of Lizzie...
Jessica saw it was going downhill after freakshow. She made the right call.
The best ones : HOTEL and the carnival one. Some of the others like ewww. HOTEL series though is a MASTERPIECE
I am no longer a fan, the last two seasons became too woke. The show was much more about wokeness, and not about a good story.
YES
