this show has been fucking incredible this year

last year was such a mess of uneven acting and horrible scripts; this year is a massive improvement, and lange's acting is phenomenal

(not to downplay so many other great performances)
Okay, I just started S1 and am 5 episodes in; "preposterous" is exactly the word to describe this show. It is some wacky parade of the flimsiest and most obvious horror cliches strung together by comically incoherent dialogue and actions and reactions. Are they doing this on purpose or do they just not give a shit?

just stop and watch s2

yeah, season 1 sucks, but the second one is a blast
― Darin, Friday, 29 March 2013 03:12 (eleven years ago) link
season one is more fun toward the end in a way than season two. season two tells you they're having fun with music and dramatic leaps but it's not as ridiculous and goofy
― ☠ ☃ ☠ (mh), Friday, 29 March 2013 03:40 (eleven years ago) link
like, in season one you're thinking it's all dark in the horrible basement and then it ends up being poorly-hatched plans and braindead amnesiac ghosts

Jessica Lange reminds me of KatHep in Suddenly Last Summer.

Kathy Bates will be terrorizing Wednesday nights during the fall as Madame LaLaurie – a real life serial killer who mutilated and murdered numerous slaves during the 1830s in New OrleansLange and Angela Bassett’s characters will be attempting to “mend the fence” between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches, but it’s unclear if Bassett’s Marie Laveau will be played present day or through flashbacks.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 7 August 2013 12:34 (eleven years ago) link
Yay! it's back and it is still ace, even better with what was already a fine cast with Bassett + Bates added.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Friday, 11 October 2013 00:03 (ten years ago) link
Wasn't that hot on the premiere, but I'm hoping it develops to be as weirdly involving as last season was.
― Simon H., Friday, 11 October 2013 01:30 (ten years ago) link
Jessica Lange vs Angela Bassett is looking like a top grade bitch off so far, just as good as it should be.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 17 October 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link
Fucking loving this once again. Patti fucking lupone!

I haven't seen this week's episode but I really hope the, uh, naive witch turns out to have more powers than fucking dudes to death because that's a pretty big buzzkill.

(for her)
this weeks episode written by the same guy that wrote the x-files episode 'home'!
― just sayin, Friday, 25 October 2013 06:38 (ten years ago) link
Might be the best season so far; the levity was necessary. Admittedly pushes it closer to True Blood territory but still, Fleetwood Mac loving swamp witch doing Stevie Nicks dances with her scarf....priceless
― akm, Friday, 25 October 2013 22:56 (ten years ago) link
i saw the series premiere of this the other night - or part of it anyway. they used the music from What Lies Beneath. rly shoulda left that alone.
― surm, Saturday, 26 October 2013 19:34 (ten years ago) link
ya this is really good right now
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 26 October 2013 21:05 (ten years ago) link
watched the first 7 episodes of s2 and this:
It is some wacky parade of the flimsiest and most obvious horror cliches strung together by comically incoherent dialogue and actions and reactions
is so OTM. so far they've covered the Exorcist, the Omen, zombies, nazi doctors, serial killers etc. when do the vampire werewolf mummies show up.

What is this? Knotty pine?!?
― mh, Friday, 31 January 2014 01:30 (ten years ago) link
i am pleased with that as an ending.
― clouds, Friday, 31 January 2014 05:54 (ten years ago) link
This was roughly one tenth as good as last season. What a waste of an incredible cast.
― Simon H., Friday, 31 January 2014 06:06 (ten years ago) link
Most unsatisfying the way they left Misty in hell, they didn't seem very bothered either.
― xelab, Friday, 31 January 2014 08:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah, that seemed like an unjust fate.
― clouds, Friday, 31 January 2014 13:06 (ten years ago) link
knotty pine line was the best thing abt the finale
― johnny crunch, Friday, 31 January 2014 13:35 (ten years ago) link
The Misty thing was doubly unsatisfying since Rabe is by far the best of the younger actresses.
― Simon H., Friday, 31 January 2014 14:29 (ten years ago) link
myrtle snow might have been my fave character overall
― clouds, Friday, 31 January 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link
I enjoyed the witch council, wish they had more airtime
― mh, Friday, 31 January 2014 16:17 (ten years ago) link
If I was to watch one of the first 3 seasons, which? As you may know i prefer dark wit and general creepiness to blood and thunder.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:08 (nine years ago) link
Series 2 in the asylum without doubt.
― xelab, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
None of what I've seen from the show seemed all that witty tbh.
― Eric H., Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
It is a horror series and Faulkner wasn't involved, but it has a very talented cast.
― xelab, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:28 (nine years ago) link
you won't like this Morbz. I didn't.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:42 (nine years ago) link
I wouldn't listen to this fucker.
― xelab, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:43 (nine years ago) link
Asylum (S2) is by far the best but I can't imagine you being into any of it really
― Simon H., Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:48 (nine years ago) link
bears repeating
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 21:56 (nine years ago) link
so what?
― clouds, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:53 (nine years ago) link
Dr Morbius, I don't think you would like this either. I have only seen the first season and while I found it watchable and entertaining, it was also quite lacking in taste, intelligence, imagination, and sense. I can't remember any wit, dark or otherwise, and it even creepy IMO.I kind of enjoyed it but sometimes I like things that are dumb and trashy.
― MrDasher, Thursday, 9 October 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link
Not even creepy, that's meant to say
― MrDasher, Thursday, 9 October 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
OK, thx y'all. I guess i'll watch those last two Rob Zombie movies instead.

Yeah, def try to resist the urge to use my taste in horror as an anti-barometer this one time.
― Eric H., Thursday, 9 October 2014 14:24 (nine years ago) link
yeah The Lords of Salem is worth catching at least xp
― Simon H., Thursday, 9 October 2014 14:39 (nine years ago) link
I only use your taste in comedy as an anti-barometer, honeybunch.
― this horrible, rotten slog to rigor mortis (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 October 2014 14:50 (nine years ago) link
The first season was the only passable one, IMO.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 9 October 2014 15:12 (nine years ago) link
def enjoying this season
v good acting this ep particularly kathy bates w the doctor & denis ohare w the viking

that was pretty brilliant
― dan selzer, Thursday, 13 October 2016 03:40 (seven years ago) link
apparently the rest of the season jumps out of the framing device and this was like a sneak peak of the rest?
i'm more sold on this now
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Thursday, 13 October 2016 14:20 (seven years ago) link
yeah, somebody told me the whole thing was going to change. After this episode we tried to figure it out. Does the Polk family follow them to LA? Does somebody else move into the house? Then we saw the preview and it had the guy who bought the hotel from last season, so who knows.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 13 October 2016 15:05 (seven years ago) link
so the weird cannibal people are actual roanoke descendants, or just carrying on the work?
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Thursday, 13 October 2016 15:46 (seven years ago) link
neighbors just helping out I think?
I actually like this season. I mean, it's a stupid show for sure and a guilty pleasure, but I feel like this season has been nicely restrained compared to the last few, which were filled with crazy edits and so many references and characters it was hard to keep up with or care. I thought last night's Polk family was a nice little Texas Chainsaw bit.
