In fact, it is one of my favorite shows period. The first episode confused me and will probably strike most people as flat out weird, but after the initial shock, you realize with each passing episode just how unique and compelling this show is. American Horror story follows a family of three as they move into a new home called "Murder House" by the locals. Since the 1920's, people have been murdered in various ways and their spirits have stayed behind, trapped in the very place they died. In this case, the ghosts from all eras can take physical form as well as vanish in an instant. You slowly learn about the past of each spirit, which adds another element of depth. The writing is always clever, twisted and surprising. I wouldn't call AHS scary (at least to me), but the music and visuals make for one of the creepiest viewing experiences I've ever had.

But then this came along. And I have something to look forward to on Wednesdays at 10. I haven't PLANNED to watch an episode of a TV show in AGES. It's about time! It's also brilliantly done-- it's quirky, a little funny, definitely spooky, and make you jump at times-- Not to mention it's wicked sexy! One twist after another. Only four episodes in, and I'm HOOKED. Give me this show intravenously, I'm addicted to American Horror Story. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful: Crazy Good!, This review is from: American Horror Story (DVD) I have long been exhausted with the drivel that is currently broadcast on TV and the lack of creativity that is involved with series development and how most networks are seemingly "giving up" in creativity and writing and just churning out reality series after reality series, but American Horror Story has renewed my hope that all hope is not lost! I am hooked! Not since Twin Peaks and Carnivale have I been this excited for a series that is more in the supernatural/horror genre (which is my favorite) and not a sitcom (even though there are some good ones), but it is so rare to find a series in the horror genre that is worth following. I, for one, cannot wait to see what happens and also to be able to purchase on dvd to add to my ever-growing dvd collection! Yay! |
