2/10

Season 1 was remarkable and had incredible acting and writing. The editing was very tight as well, and the entire season I kept thinking how brilliant the show was. It was a great example of a story that needed to be told over several hours, instead of a 2 hour movie.

On the other hand, Season 2 was a very weird season. Like I almost think the writers were all very intoxicated or on heavy pain medication. Bizarre storylines and the acting took a deep nosedive compared to Jessica Lange's season. Overall it seemed self-indulgent and parts of it was gross.

I won't be watching anything else that Ryan Murphy makes. 🤢

You've reached the end.
