I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last review, it's not without a good reason though, my employment situation has improved greatly in the last month. It does require me to wake up at an ungodly hour, which means I'm going to bed earlier, and have less time to commit to movie-watching. Fear not! In the mean time I did get hooked on a tv series. As the title hints, that show was the first season of American Horror Story. I have been trying to find a show to fill the gap between True Blood and Dexter for my guy and I to watch, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire failed to pique his interest, and I really thought AHS would be The One. Well, he never got into it, but I did.
It's basically the story of a family living in a haunted house, and stars Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton, Jessica Lange, and Russel Edgington.
The pilot episode was really good: scary, strange, mysterious, sexy. The title theme is legitimately hard to watch it's so creepy. However, the show gets a little campy as it progresses. I would have to watch the pilot again to determine if the pilot really was that much better than the rest of the series, or if it was just new and fresh and then I became desensitized with the story. I also had some issues with the finale, it felt pieced together and cheesy. Either way I'm hooked on this series and look forward to season 2.
