| DepthAlly said: Now AHS.... I'm not sure where to begin. Well, let's start with the characters. They were all so shallow to me and the fact that the family was so dysfunctional I couldn't care less about them, so whenever they were in danger I was like "whatever, I don't care". In fact [Spoiler] when I watched the first episode I said to myself "Ugh I hate this, I hope the whole family dies in the end" and low and behold they did, so that was kind of nice{/Spoiler]. It's a very predictable show too. I predicted soooo much of the events that happened [Spoiler]except for Violet being dead since she took those pills[/Spoiler]. Also, I was hoping for a scary/creepy horror show as well, but it ended up being the most cliche horror elements and tricks you could think of. It was never scary for even a millisecond. Actually, I ended up laughing at the show more than anything else. So when people were shocked that they submitted themselves for miniseries instead of dram for the Emmys, I was thinking they should have shocked everyone and submitted for comedy XD. But that's just me, I guess. Although, I will admit the acting was great, especially Jessica Lange. She will definitely get an Emmy for this show. |
Yeah, I don't think the characters were ever supposed to be the stars of the show as much as the house itself was. The family was definitely very dysfunctional, but to me that fit the show pretty well. I did find the show creepy, but not really scary. I just enjoyed it, though, which is why I like it. And yeah, the part where you realize that Violet was dead was my favorite part of the show. I love how she tries to leave the house, running out the front door only to enter from the back over and over. And I agree, the acting was excellent, particularly Jessica Lange, who was superb.
