And getting lost in those attempts is the ability to tell even basic interesting horror stories and it ruins the show. If they'd stop trying to be clever or topical or boundary pushing which they can't do the show would improve tenfold. They need yo focus on story and character before anything else.

Yeah, I think that's why Roanoke was so good, it left out most of the clumsy allegory in favour of a good story and good characters. Aside from the framing device of the various TV shows, it was a very back to basics ghost story and it just worked.

I tuned out of Freakshow and Hotel after the first few episodes. I feel like Cult has a far clearer premise and is pretty compelling in certain areas. Like I said, though, it could go to complete **** if it gets taken to planet 9 and Ryan Murphy goes beyond the scope of the story...which will probably happen because it's Ryan Murphy, and I'll no longer defending Cult as an above average season

i genuinely do not get the love for flicker

[Tom4784]

Flicker was the best episode of Hotel but I don't think it really holds a candle to the likes of Orphans.

[Smithy]

Rotten Tomatoes disagrees!

[Marsh.]

Orphans was only good for the Asylum crossover moment. The rest of it was meh.

Roanoke is on Netflix now so I'm watching it.

[Morgan.]

Okay I'm confused already

[Morgan.]

Who are the people in the talking heads and what do they have to do with the people in the scenes?

[Morgan.]

OH WAIT THEYRE THE SAME PEOPLe but different actors

[Underscore]

Roanoke was ok but ****

[Nicky91]

i'm now watching Coven myself, I LOVE Kathy Bates in that, so so funny ''oh no they have a black person as u.s president, talking about Obama's presidential election

and Evan Peters as a frankenkyle spencer

[Jason.]

I feel like they're taking a slow burn approach to Cult, which I don't really mind, as it's been all right so far.

Winter is just Chanel #3 dressed in black.

Yes. Sarah Paulson is playing an actress playing Lily Rabe's character in a re-enactment.

The show gets very meta with show within a show within a show.

Even in the titles he treats the audience like idiots. Did we really need "Manson" in brackets?

[Firewire]

It's a play on Charles in Charge

I know but did we really need (Manson) to get the reference to why they're using it?

[Firewire]

Oh I get your point now

[Smithy]

Why is her irl scream different to her AHS scream

[Babayaro.]

Becuase she's an actress?
