As terrible as this looks and as much as I want to skip it, I know that's not possible and I'll watch every episode. The comments on the trailer are mind-blowing though. "Looks like the best season ever!" "This looks 10x better than the last couple of seasons!" "This looks great and Kim K doesn't look cheesy!"
Lmao just saw the Ā« this looks like it's going to be the best season ever Ā». Delusional.
I've become increasingly suspicious of YouTube comments. I mean even more than I used to be. It used to be 100% toxic shit, it's now oftent overly positive. Not sure if it's bots or just auto moderation hiding anything that's not overwhelmingly positive, but it doesn't seem natural most of the times.
What do you mean two hours? You know they need at least three episodes of them going completely off the rails, and two more of subplots that won't get resolved?
Apparently it's based on a novel called Delicate Condition. Hopefully having an existing narrative structure to go off of will prevent it from devolving into utter shit.
Shame about Cara, though. I can think of few people more irritating.

Looks like a take on Rosemary's Baby.
Honestly looks like one of the better looking seasons in a long time.

Shoulda been called 'American Horror Story: Meconium'
Sounds spooky,
Very low-key first episode that mostly worked for me. Still love Emma Roberts and the boyfriend guy was appropriately smarmy and gaslight without being over the top.
Hope this one doesn't fall apart in the back half

I liked ep 1, but 2 was more boring. It's mostly the protagonist spacing out while everyone tries to rosemary her baby.
Which at this point it's a bit overdone for AHS, especially the husband who is clearly evil AGAIN. This series seem to hate spouses more than boomers hate their wives, zzz.

The last episode was truly one of the most disgusting moments in AHS history I believe. What in the fuck
I really don't get this show. Feels like 'Mother!'. When everything is dream-like and fantastical, it gives the audience no anchor to hold onto and it all becomes nebulous.
Had no idea they didn't finish filming the season
That's why it's a season finale/part 1 split
It's slow, plot goes no where sometimes but maybe that's the idea, a slow burn kinda season
Kim K isn't that bad either but focusing just on Emma/one character isn't it

I missed that this is coming back April 3. I feel like the trailer spoils a lot, if you care about that
Yup. I had to check that the final episode was actually the finale since it barely seemed to resolve anything.
And the season was so repetitive, especially the flashbacks to other women who got their wishes granted and their demon babies taken. They did it like 3 or 4 times and it was the same thing every time just in a different setting.
It honestly felt like the story was so thin that it would have worked better as a single longer episode or a movie rather than 9 episodes.
It's not a bad concept for a horror show: gaslighting, medical care for women, pregnancy complications, etc. But the demon babies, evil witch/cult stuff felt so been-there-done-that.
Jesus, this was the last episode? I thought there was still one left. Wow, this season kinda sucked.
Kinda funny how the only season based on an actual book/story is the most one-noted one. In the end, I feel like it wasn't a bad season, it just had no meat around the bone. The story could stand on 5 pages and it doesn't seem it had a message.
Surprisingly, Kim K. was fun to watch. She's obviously not the best actress in the world, but it worked for her role.
Current rankings of the seasons :
2 - Asylum
5 - Hotel
11 - NYC
1 - Murder House
3 - Coven
6 - Roanoke
9 - 1984
11.1 - DF - Red Tide
12 - Delicate
8 - Apocalypse
7 - Cult
4 - Freakshow
11.2 - DF - Death Valley
AHS had been renewed to season 13, but viewership seems to be pretty much dead on TV, I wonder if the show is doing great on streaming or if we'll get S13 as a last one? I guess it's not that bad considering we're still getting a new batch of episodes for AHStories in October.

I stopped AHS a few episodes into season 4... I wasn't into it and never went back, but I've been thinking about it lately. Have there been some decent seasons since then? I'm mostly curious about the one with Gaga, since I'm a fan I wonder if it's worth a watch for her at least
I thought she was fine in Hotel. I personally liked other aspects of that season more, but she wasn't a low point or anything.
I personally got to Apocolypse and had enough once that season wrapped. What felt like should've been a culmination point just landed with a fart so I didn't really think there would be anything for the series going forward.
I did watch some of Stories as they got released, and felt I got my fill with them.

For what I know the show basically doesn't follow the book except some the first episodes and the
cheating
I'm not American so I'm not up with the kardashian's stuff, but I thought her acting was fine. She was pretty campy and basically played the type of character Emma Robert usually plays, but it fits AHS more than the lifetime original movie style of acting the other characters had going on. Matt Czuchry is a good actor but it feels like he was barely trying here.
And yeah the message is all over the place. It feels like it wants to be a feminist story about women can have it all but Anna just mopes and cries for all the season,
gets saved by a deus ex machina and the villains are evil powerful (borderline omnipotent) women who... want to kill all men?
They couldn't even arsed to explain wtf Siobhan even was.
Hotel and Roanoke are fun, no need to actually finish the weird nonsense that was Freakshow.
I mean, she won a Golden Globe for her role and it pretty much kickstarted her "real" acting career.
Weirdly, the ending felt kinda anti-feminist. In a "if you want it all you're a selfish woman, you can't have motherhood and your career at the same time".
Cool! As I said, she wasn't a low point. Just personally I preferred the haunting/ghost aspect of the season's scenario over whatever weird non-vampire-but-kinda-vampire part she played. Did not mean to imply her acting was mid or anything!
This is the first AHS season where I haven't even started watching it and will probably skip it completely. Emma Roberts is always fun, but the show seems like a slog from the comments I've read.
this is some tough competition for my least favorite season. I didn't actively hate it as much as Freakshow. But the story here is much less interesting and was 7 episodes of having no idea wtf was happening. And did not have a satisfying conclusion at all.
Did you like Coven? If so, definitely check out Hotel and Apocalypse. Apocalpyse is like the avengers endgame of AHS
Season 4 is awful, the worst out of them all imo. I recommend anyone who watches the show to just skip it if they aren't feeling it after 1 or 2 episodes. Then season 5(Hotel, with Gaga) is my favorite season out of all them by far. Surprisingly thoughtful and emotional. Gaga also has a very small role in Roanoke. I liked that season, but many don't. Her role in that one is so small it's not worth watching if you are just looking for her.

That's all great to hear, and yeah I remember quite enjoying Coven! I'll watch Hotel soon, then Roanoke and Apocalypse later
I didn't know if season 4 was considered bad or not so seeing the replies here is reassuring. It's pretty rare that I drop a show in the middle of a season, I usually stick to it even if it sucks but boy I had negative interest in what was going on there, didn't vibe with it at all

It's wild how watered down this season is. There's like an episode worth of story here but we got 9. To Delicate's credit, it was more focused than some past seasons. But after seeing them do the same scenes of Emma Roberts being scared or embarrassing herself at an award show over and over again, I would've appreciated a trip to Gonzoville with a random ass storyline.
Now I'm curious how a phenomenal season like NYC even happened when it's sandwiched between Double Feature (which I couldn't even finish) and this
