I wouldn't say the size of the cast is a problem, they just need to centralise the plot and the characters and not have them all be disparate to each other. The writers have shown that, even in Asylum, they can't handle multiple plotlines effectively so they just need to focus on one thing.

MH was great because it all revolved around the house and all the characters and the sideplots all had a purpose in relation to that. Freakshow suffered because there wasn't a central plotline and Coven was terrible because they kept changing the central plot every few episodes.

Freakshow would have been great if they only did around 6-8 episodes and focused on the threat of Dandy and Twisty to the Freakshow because as soon as they offed Twisty the series lost it's direction and everything became diluted and bland.
