All 3 series have had points where they seemed to lose the initial ideas. Aliens and Anne Frank last year for example.

I think the way it started, it was easily on course to be the best thing they've done so far. There was action, suspense, history, and gore. Horror is in the title, so people complaining about the shock value of some scenes to be missing the point.

You can't keep that up for a whole season as there just wouldn't be any room for the story to run through it, and the side story lines to happen. It's definitely the best series to me, as I remember them.

American Horror Story.
