US: AHS - Freakshow!

Can't really slam it as of yet, only one episode in. However I didn't really enjoy the opener as much as S1 and S2.

Was it on last night In The States?

ChroniC · 10 Oct 2014 at 08:52

It was. Some interesting characters, so could have potential but it mirrored S3's soap opera feel, instead of the mystery of the first two seasons.

Yeah i watched this last night. I'm with you in that it never quite gave you much to go on as to how the whole thing will play out, only time will tell i suppose.

That clown though :\

A very good clown costume. I had to find out who the man behind the mask was. He's been in loads of stuff!

The whole singing section got fast forwarded by me. Couldn't stand it.

I almost switched the episode off a couple of times.

Have to admit, there's something strangely alluring about Jessica Lange 'singing' Bowie with a German accent in 50's rural Florida whilst made up like a trailer park whore.

It reminded me of Glee when she started singing, but that song's one of my favourite of all time, so I let it go.

They hit their stride with Asylum, for my money. I've watched, and enjoyed, all the series so far but I have a feeling it may have run its course.

Ive quite enjoyed this season. Ok its not as good as the first 2 but its definitely one of the better things on TV . I really liked the character that was summoned at Halloween too.

Martynt74 · 18 Nov 2014 at 10:19

I agree with that. I liked the back story to the clown as well when it got told. Was good to know why he was that way.

Well I have still yet to finish this series. I got to the bit with Twisty and then have about 3/4 episodes left.

I have seen today that the very odd looking man that played the character "Meep" was killed in a freak accident when he was hit by a mirror of a vehicle as it passed him on a LA street. I can only assume that as he was only 4 foot 4 inches it may have hit him in the head and killed him.. RIP.

Ouch what a way to go. I'm quite tall, and sometimes I have had some close encounters with Buses large wingmirrors.

I thought season 4 was the last for some reason but turns out there's another coming this year. AHS: Hotel. Jessica Lange might not be in it but Lady Gaga is.

They're trying to milk this far too much IMO. Season 1 and 2 were good but it's steadily got worse since.

It won't be AHS without Jessica Lange

Rich_L · 27 Feb 2015 at 18:24

I think Hotel could be good, the theme seems to indicate an approach more akin to Murder House/Asylum which is a good thing!

I agree, seems like it could be a creepy 'shining-esque' season.

I've liked all 4 seasons so far, although freak show is my least favourite.

Would be nice to see Lilly rabe have a leading part in the next one. Her characters have all been really good.
