Lots of references to other movies in this one. Fun trying to spot them

Not enjoying this series as much. Going overboard with the PC .
I think it's been better than last season. The middle few episodes were a bit shit, but I think it's picked up again in recent weeks now that the story has become more focused.
I'm three episodes in and I'm not that impressed with season 5. Is it worth sticking with?
My gf thinks so. Im too horrified to watch, only in the background when im gaming. Very good, but scary too.
If you're not particularly concerned with logic, characterisation, narrative or all the basic things you'd expect then you'll love it.
First episode was interesting. The next few were all over the place. The last couple have settled down again. It's getting better, imo.
Good too hear. I'll stick with it.
I'm forced to watch this with my g/f but this season has been a lot better the past two. I'm getting into the narrative and I'm loving the 80's theme. Lady Gaga was a big surprise and she's looking fit so happy all around.
just starting season 5, WOW what on opening EP , very bloody, mind you Kathy Bates does look like Bricktop from Snatch.
Season 5 isn't bad but not as good as the early ones
I liked it , had some really good eps in , I liked the last couple.
Lady Gaga was much better than I thought she would be.
Yes she surprised me too
Is this worth watching? Summer lull coming up and need something to binge on … welcome any comments
I only saw the first season, I found it pretty dull to be honest.
First season was alright. Second one is very good though, I enjoyed it.
Haven't watched more, but from what I hear the second season is considered the best. Quite rightly so. Some great characters there, also decent story.

Yeah, it's inconsistent as each season has a different theme.
Second and third seasons are the best IMO. Freak show was the worst one so far IMO, which is a shame as it started so well.
There are so many things called the same, or similar, are they all connected?

All average?

Crime Story I thought was very good, apart from the guy that played O.J. Simpson. Which kind of ruins it a bit.
Yeah, s'pose that wouldn't help a lot! Cheers though
I enjoyed the first episode of season 6. Clever new concept.
Sorry for the bump but i am watching episode 3 of season 6 (I haven't watched any before but my colleague has it on) and it is the funniest damn thing i have ever seen!
I havent seen series 5 yet, after 4 - the freakshow one - I was a bit put off. But I will watch it and hope it gets back to its old self - the first three serieses were very good I thought.
Hated season 3, really liked 4 actually. Have you seen the movie Freaks from 1932? It paid a few great tributes to that film, which is why I may have liked.
Season 6 has started well.
So I just watched the first episode of season 1 after hearing a lot of good things. I got to say, I absolutely hate the editing and pacing. I'm also not a fan of the characters and the dialogue so far.
Does it get better? I heard that every season there's a new story, so my hope is that the writers and directors also change.

I loved season 1, it gets way better.
Season 1 is probably the best at out of the lot. Stick with it.
Quite enjoying season 6 so far, I wasn't sure about the premise to begin with but it's grown on me.
Anyone watching this season, Roanoke?
I gave up on last season which was immensely shit, is this one better?

I haven't started yet, I think I'm waiting to read like really good reviews to get going
If you like a bit of horrorish stuff you should watch The Exorcist series, it's the shizzle.I haven't started yet, I think I'm waiting to read like really good reviews to get going
Far better than AHS.
Enjoying this season. And like the way it as changed track with the story
Yes I'd say this has been good, probably the show's 2nd best season (so far) and far better than last season by far. Besides the first 2 episodes, pacing has been good, and it isn't as convoluted with too many plotlines happening at once, which has been one of the shows faults in every season. Plus there's been some actual horror too.
I've seen the first 3 seasons now, most of it overnight whilst sitting in a rocking chair with my 2 year old son while he has the flu. It's good camp fun so far, but the first time I've seen anything scary in it is the clown in season 4.
Up to EP6, was not sure at first, but it has grown on me.
That was the worst ending of them all. Disappointing considering the strong start.
very disappointed with the last 2 eps, the last one was dreadful.
Worst ending of a series ever.

Recently finished the second series of this. Thought it was better than the first, but in both series I was having to force myself to watch the last few episodes just to find out what happens and tick off a series, lost interest a bit in them towards the end.
Not sure whether to continue into series 3 and beyond. Is it just more of the same?

Coven (season 4) is completely different from Asylum. Give it a go. Freakshow (season 4) reminds me a bit of Carnivale (early-mid 2000s HBO show). There's a dichotomy between the series which I think should be enough to intrigue you to keep watching
They are all produced by FOX and all screened (in America) on the FX channel. Sara Paulson who's been in every AHS season played Marcia Clark on American Crime Story and Cuba Gooding jnr who of course played OJ also had a role in AHS Roanoke. They are all very well produced and written shows. The Americans comes highly recommended and its a regular series with a continuing story of a married couple of Russian spies living in the US during the Reagan/Cold war era.
There's another show called American Crime produced by ABC that has a similar concept to AHS, same actors playing different characters in new stories each season
