American Horror Story

I searched and didn't see a thread about the show.

Is anyone else here watching American Horror Story. Definitely my favorite show this season, I wait all week between episodes :tgrin:

Just wondering what other people think and I would love to kick around theories!

I love this show!

It was very "O.O WTF?!" with the pilot, but in a way that left me excited and dying to see more (it reminds me a little of Lost, now that I think about it). And I feel it's been very developed since then, and that it's not dragging stuff out like I was afraid it would.

Looking forward to tonight's ep!

I saw one episode and thought it was creepy, I'd like to keep up with it. How many ep's in are they?

My girlfriend likes it so we keep watching it. It's alright. The horror stuff is pretty predictable and it tries a little too hard to shock people. I almost didn't watch it at all after the first episode. It had the most atrocious editing I've ever seen in a TV series. Jump cuts are good for horror but during action scenes, not scenes where people are just having normal conversation. Luckily they toned it down as the series went on.

I find the plot is taking a little too long to get to the point. I know they're building to a big reveal of some sort but they can explain things as they go a little better. Also while shows like Breaking Bad integrate flashbacks into the point of the episode this series doesn't which makes much of what it does come off as completely random.

So is this on going or what? I thought it might just be a one season event thing but I guess if it does well it might stay on.

FX already ordered a second season :)

I love the show so far, but I'm perfectly ready for this to become awful in its second season like everything Ryan Murphy does :P

I mean, Nip/Tuck. LOVED the first season! Then the second season came and I grew really tired of the show.

And then there's Glee. LOVED the first season. And then... Yeah, the same thing.

But maybe, just maybe, this time he'll get it right. Or pass on the showrunning to someone else, since he's already super-busy with Glee.
