American Horror Story is a show that got more and more weird as time went on. I can't figure out if the writers/show runners are running out of ideas or if they're just getting bolder. The first season was pretty tame compared to what they're giving us these days (although that image of Dylan McDermot jacking off out the window to the maid from the very first episode is burned into my mind). It went from a haunted house with ghosts to an insane asylum where there was a devil, but somehow aliens and Syler from Heroes made lampshapes. Next we got a witches coven with a 200 year old woman who was a scar on Illinois history and then a woman gets raped by a minataur and the woman from Fleetwood Mac tells Lilly Rabe she's awesome. Freakshow, by far my favorite, gave us an amazing story about outcasts with several antagonists who worked well into the story line. The characters were compelling and the chemistry was great. But Hotel.... jesus....
I am just confused and lost by this one. I was expecting some HH Holmes style shit, but this thing is just weird... Kathy Bates cages up two german tourists who were eaten by the kids from the shining and Lady Gaga is a vampire, the little brother from Weeds is a junkie and Danny Baker made it big and is now buying a hotel from a vampire? I mean.... what?! Though, I gotta say. I really wanna keep watching.
