I like the start of this season so far. I always get so excited for this show to start, but then I always end up feeling like the promos are much better than the shows themselves.
Season one was really disturbing to me, but I finished it. Season two I got about 1/3 through, I finished season 3 but was so disappointed because I felt like it could have been a lot better plot-wise, as far as the witch theme and New Orleans. We LOVED Freak Show, and Dandy is my favorite character from the whole series. (I quote him regularly, while stamping my foot of course. You ruined my Halloween!!). Only made it through part of Hotel. We have all the episodes on the dvr, but just kind of slowly stopped watching.
I really like the premise this season, it's creepy in a fun way. I've heard that episodes 1 - 4 go together, 5 - 9 go together, and 10 is a whole other kind of thing. That's according to an article with an interview with Ryan Murphy. No details of course, just that the audience is in for a ride. I'm looking forward to it!
