Ira Gaines Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Given how shite the last two seasons have been, and how they just don't bother having any sort of linear story whatsoever, it's actually refreshing to have a season with a bit of a direction to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Okay, so I'm late to the party. But I'm halfway through Asylum and I'm addicted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur yb Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Okay, so I'm late to the party. But I'm halfway through Asylum and I'm addicted. First 2 series were shit hot only series 5 was disappointing for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asylum was the best season. It's sadly been all downhill (for me anyway) since. The Coven season was aimed at the teen girl market, the Freakshow season was a great concept executed terribly (it was all over the place), and I gave up on the Hotel season entirely (it was essentially extremely softcore homoerotic pornography starring Lady Gaga to up the camp). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 On 6 of Coven just now, it's still watchable. Can definitely see what you mean by the market audience though.Still think Asylum is the pinnacle so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 First two were very good with Asylum being the best. The rest haven't been great and this season has been pretty poor. It started off ok but it's just got silly now and there is not much in the way of a plot just each character being bumped off one at a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I thought it was a good first half to this season, and thought the second half got off to a great start, but since then it's just taken a really weird and needlessly absurd turn. Even more absurd than previous seasons at times which takes some doing. Looks like another shift in tone for the finale which gives me some sort of hope. So I'll give it a bash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well that was underwhelming. It lived up to the producers' claim that the second half of the season would go in a direction no-one was expecting...I never expected it to be shite, so fair play to them. It's been on the skids for a few seasons now; the first two were great, and Coven was a lot better than I remembered when we re-watched it recently. Freakshow started off well and fizzled out halfway, and Hotel was a hysterical campy mess. A few decent jump-scares aside, this one's been dire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Aye utter shite ending unfortunately. I actually thought it was a good season overall. It certainly held my interest right until the end; something Freak Show and Hotel failed to do. I'm not too sure if the producers like that type of programme (ghost story types with the real people narrating) or if the whole season was a massive spoof.A really poor ending anyway. I can't recall Lana being such a boot either. I recall liking her in Asylum. She came across as a right uppity bitch in her appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just finished freakshow which i enjoyed, the ending irked me a little bit though, i don't know why. Got halfway through Hotel but was struggling to pay attention, not too sure from what i've seen so far. Jimmy's version of Come as you are in Freakshow was quite good i thought though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just finished Roanoke, pretty awful affair. Was quite enjoying the new direction the first half was going in, the rest was just an utter farce through. The whole "second series" segment, and after, was just completely brainless C movie shite. Freakshow was so bad I didn't even bother watching Hotel, although I found the episodes of that series that I did see quite good. I've gone right off it again though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The second half wasn't a bad idea I don't think. Horrible execution in places though. And the finale was horseshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bit late in the day, but I am watching this at the moment. Not brilliant, but some cracking pastiches of classic horror movies, including soundtracks, that got me hooked. Lily Rabe is perfection in Season 2 as well, that helped immensely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Wasn't big on Roanoke but think there's some big potential with this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Half way through episode 2. Does it get better? Struggling with this one so far. I don't mind Sarah Paulson but there's only so much of her crying I can take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This weeks episode of Cult really kicks it up a gear after a pretty slow first 3 episodes. Evan Peters is killing it as Kai so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Last nights episode was phenomenal. If they can keep the momentum of the past 2 episodes going this could surpass Asylum for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 They have really got back to their best this season. Every episode seems to have some massive twist. Really enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson are/were, only Evan Peters seems to get given the opportunity to really show how many wildly different characters he can play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Just watched the Cult finale there and very much enjoyed it. Think I'll need to re-watch some of the older series but this definitely ranks high for me. This season didn't even have Lange, Bates, O'hare or Rabe which is mental considering they're most of my favourites! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
