Starchild October 31 Share October 31 Well hell. I was hoping this was going to be a limited series, but I guess not. Link to comment
ShadowHunter October 31 Share October 31 What the Hell was that? This show both moved at 95 miles per hour and was stuck in traffic at the same time. 5 Link to comment
Snazzy Daisy October 31 Author Share October 31 The real Grotesquerie is Ryan Murphy himself for trying to pull a “M. Night Shyamalan” ending. What a terrible, irritably incohesive and frustrating finale. The episode spends so much time on scenes involving the Women Haters Club and Marshall. Quote “The last piece is never as fun as the first.” I guess we will never see that final piece until season 5. 🙄 5 1 Link to comment
sadie November 1 Share November 1 Color me underwhelmed. The first few eps I thought Ryan Murphy was finally going to deliver something sharp, that made sense and would be a tight horror/crime procedural with maybe a tad of the mystical. It then devolved into his usual mess and I felt like the back half was a different show than where I started. I have no one to blame but myself who is still holding on to my love of American Horror Story season 1 and gives Murphy chance after excruciating chance to reward me again. So now out of left field we have the evil woman haters club as the new “suspect” and we have to wait a year at least to move this story along and even then I’m sure it’s a red herring. Gahhhhhh! 8 1 Link to comment
Blakeston November 1 Share November 1 I realize I'm in the minority, but I really enjoyed this. I would be fine with this as the series finale, because I took the doctor's words at face value: Lois is just a small-town cop who ruined her life with alcoholism, and is bitter that she can't change the world. She's imagining that the grotesquerie murders are really happening, because life is more interesting when she believes that she's the one person who can save the town. (And it's fun for her to imagine that the young chief of police who surpassed her is utterly helpless, and that everyone on the force is just going to stand there without a clue while she takes charge.) It's the same mindset that we see in the countless conspiracy theorists who refuse to accept reality, and want to believe that they're the only one smart enough to understand what's really happening. 3 Link to comment
bluestocking November 1 Share November 1 What a frustrating mess! And it's not like it's based on a book, so you could read that to find out what happens. I think I do understand now why Murphy wanted this out before the election--to air his take on the male supremacist, White Nationalist movement in the US right now. Didn't read that authentic to me though, given what we've heard from certain politicians running. 1 Link to comment
Wickedeve November 2 Share November 2 You've got to be kidding me. No closure. No sense. No way I'm watching season 2 if it happens. 3 Link to comment
