I was very disappointed with the last two seasons of American Horror Story: Hotel and Roanoke. So I am very please to announced this season: Cult, is starting off extremely well. I don’t do recaps because there are tons of those so I’m just gonna focus on what I really liked about this season/ first episode and disliked so far: SPOILERS!
I disliked that the Changs died; I was actually liking the male character of Mr. Chang and I wanted to see more of his character, especially after he snapped at his wife for not voting in time at the beginning of the episode.
I like that the clown from AHS: Freakshow is in this season although his character is a comic book character within this season.
I like that the lesbian couple who are portrayed by Sarah Paulson, who is in all the other seasons, and Allison Pill, who is known for her role in the movie Milk. The reason why I really like them is because I don’t watch a lot of live-action shows so I don’t see a lot of lesbian portrayals, and when I do, it’s often really typical, if not stereotypical. I’m glad that this couple has drama and they seem to be going through real issues. Paulson’s character has anxiety which has increased once Trump was elected in the show; she also has numerous phobias and she is reluctant to take her pills. These issues are causing a strain on the marriage and their son, especially since on this first episode, the son starts talking about the fact he’s been seeing clowns. (He did; he saw the same clowns who’ve been haunting Ally commit a murder. They killed the Changs.)
I dislike that Angela Basset isn’t going to be in this season. Kathy Bates is also not going to be in this season. I don’t know if they stopped working on the show or what, but more than likely so.
Carrie Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, who was also on Scream Queens is really pretty. Although her Wikipedia picture isn’t the most flattering, I like her character within the show; she may or may not be bisexual in the show. Her character named Winter wrote a love letter to Paula Abdul, and she also received anal from a boy with the last name Smith-I forgot his name already.
I like the violence; it doesn’t come off cheesy or comedic like hotel did. The acting is more believable unlike Roanoke.
I’m glad Lady Gaga and Cuban Jr. aren’t going to be making an appearance on the show because they were fucking horrible.
I like the son of the lesbian couple, by the way their character names are Ally, and Ivy Mcfair-Richards. The son, the actor, actually acts. He doesn’t come off as the typical kid that’s doing kid stuff, or acting like a kid who is acting like a kid-if that makes sense; in other words, he works out for the role and the show.
I like that it reminds me of the Purge: Election Year.
I don’t like that it reminds me of the Purge: Election Year.
So thank you, FX for giving me a good show to watch this Fall. Thank you! And for those of you wondering, AHS has been renewed for two more seasons. I suspect we’re going to see more actors leave the show and be replaced by new faces, which is cool because it will allow the show to go on FOREVER!
