AHS has always been a mixed bag, a show that is great yet oozes padding and exposition. Many seasons start great and end great but have a middle portion that drags. American Horror Stories takes the seasonal anthology approach but makes each episode it's own tale thus hopefully ending the speed bumps. The first two episodes are great for Murder House fans yet feels like alot of the kills happen just for the fuck of it. Drive In for me is the best of the season and the least Ryan Murphy esque of the bunch...until the end. Naughty List has a great last act once it goes full slasher yet features some of the most annoying characters(on purpose) on TV. Billie Lourde stars in a very Lifetime esque episode(in a good way). Last weeks was a bit of a bore, but this weeks finale is meta on top of meta on top of meta and is very cluttered yet satisfying. This was a great appetizer for the main entree hitting next week.
