After the solid first season of American Horror Story the second one was one of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched on TV. It was full of surprises, original ideas, gore, dark humor, great acting and the writers were all at the top of their creativity. Well now the third season came to it's end and while it wasn't bad at all, I guess it was kind of a let down after the first two. There was potential in the whole coven thing (just take a look at the fantastic open credits - yeah, full of lost opportunities...) but this time the writing was a bit muddled without a real main character or a coherent storyline and only a few episodes were memorable. OK we got a Supreme by the end but after the three most interesting characters died previously (Delphine, Nan and Marie) I didn't really care about it. Nothing shocking happened here: the bad dies, the good rules and of course we lost the last funny character left (Misty) so it was time to finish the whole season.
While I think the idea of bringing back old cast in different roles worked well in season 2 it doesn't really worked here. I mean it would be nice to see Taissa Farmiga as a main character but writers forgot about her after the first three episodes and they didn't know what to do with Evan Peters neither and even Jessica Lange was a bit...too much. OK, she was waaay too much!! But on the other hand the new cast was fun to watch! Of course Kathy Bates stole the show but the beautiful Angela Bassett and the bitchy Emma Roberts were awesome as well. So it was a nice season but I hope the next one will be a real shocker again.
