I loved Season 1 (Murder House)... Season 2 (Asylum) was mostly very good, except the aliens were too much... Season 3 (Coven) lost it's way and almost seemed like they wanted to get the Twilight crowd.

But I'm very much hoping that Ryan Murphy can bring Freak Show back to where AHS belongs.

No Taissa Farmiga?

Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates will be awesome.

Asylum and Coven were great, especially liked Coven since it's modern day. Murder House just pissed me off. Come on... someone just nuke the damn house already.

Looking forward to it.

No Lily Rabe? fail

She was so hot as the naughty nun.

Not so hot as a hippy, but still hot.

I think Lily Rabe has her own network show... Yes, she will be missed.

Yeah, I was bummed when I heard she wasn't returning.

Neil Patrick Harris requests to be on AHS:FS, Ryan Murphy replies, "of course you can be on Freak Show! I have a role I think you'd love."

 

[Wingznut]

Seriously... This dude was awesome.

Another good, freaky episode. A sad end though. Meep In Peace.

 

[Elixer]

They sure named this right... this is really freaky.

No wonder Twisty wears a mask...

Season 3 sucked.

It just seemed like a bunch of bitches complaining about who's going to be the next supreme. I'm waiting for the next Orange is the New Black.

I liked 3. Season 2 got so convoluted. Season 1 started off great but ended with a whimper.

I hated season 1...

Spoiler

Everyone gets murdered, everyone dies, eff it, what the eff is the point?

Season 3 is my favorite, season 2 has some of the best acting. Season 4 is weird. Too bad there's no Taisa Farmiga.

Yeah that's why I thought season 1 ended horribly

I don't believe we've seen her just yet...

 

[Imp]

No Alexanda Breckenridge (red hair slutty maid in season 1, pyro witch in season 3) this season... She just got cast on Walking Dead.

 

[smackababy]

I am liking this show so far. The clown is awesome!

 

[mcurphy]

Episode 2 was awesome! I really like the freaks they cast for the show, and the supporting cast is great as well. Even the spoiled rich guy, lol.

 

[OutHouse]

Ummm fuck clowns.

 

[madoka]

I will bet any sum of money that something very, very bad is going to happen to Dandy by the end of the season.
