Pass on Season 3, but 1 & 2 were excellent Season 3 is poorly written, cast, and acted. With the exception of a handful of episodes in the middle of the season, the rest feature poor character motivation, laughable dialogue, and obnoxious overacting. The season ends with an pathetically ham-fisted attempt at allegory with witches as homosexuals; stating outright that "it's not a choice to be a witch", they're forced to live in "the shadows" (read: the closet) due to a fear of acceptance, and how they endure "hate crimes." With character motivations that change with the wind, a story that feels more ad hoc than Lost's, and poorly developed characters you can neither relate to nor like, there is really no reason to watch this season. There are no "horror" elements like the first two seasons had. There are no interesting characters (which I will repeat ad nauseam). There is horrible cinematography (seriously, what was with the camera angles?). Highly recommend avoiding this season! On a personal note, I started rolling my eyes every time they mentioned "the supreme." Have a moment where writers can't think of dialogue? Have one of the girls say, "I bet I could be the supreme!" Multiple times per episode! Yay!

Hit and miss I've noticed that viewers who love all seasons of AHS will generally dislike or even hate season 5. I don't put much stock in this as I've also noticed, as evidenced in their reviews, most of them are morons. Morons who don't understand the references contained in Season 5 or the melodrama. They love that goofy creepy clown and they love the absurd woman with 3 boobies and Pepper the Pinhead and all the other corny elements poorly designed to shock the bland viewers of middle America. It seems as if every other season is watchable. Season 1, amazing. Season 2, meh. Season 3 stands as the worst thing on TV at the time. Terrible acting, vapid characters, one dimensional at best. The plot was absolutely coma inducing. The set design, scenery and back drop was just over done. Season 4, well we're back to being just okay. So maybe my guard was dropped, expectations were lowered? I don't know. But season 5 was back to amazing, in all it's post-punk/Gothic glory. An obvious homage to The Hunger. So I'm braced for S06 to be either mediocre or awful(although in my opinion nothing can compare to that Stevie Nicks/bargain basement Absinth fueled abortion that was Season 3).

Google play reivew I have been trying to watch this show for over a week and every time I do it just keeps loading and then eventually it says there has been a problem. I cleared my cache, restarted my device numerous times. I only had a few days to watch this show and I could have purchased it from many other places and could of watched everything by now, so please please get it fixed or tell me ways I could possibly fix it. thank you. Other than that this show is AMAZING. I fell in love with the first season i watched it straight for a couple days and i hated waited to watch second season. I'm on episode 7 and since google play isn't working right i can' watch it but the show is great A+ I try ti get everyone i know to watch this show i just think it's that amazing. It shows so many differnt crazy things my mind is always blown when i watch it!

Hotel Ahs has always been a different kind of genre to watch, seasons 1 through 4 have stuck to their roots but so far in season 5 I'm finding myself draw away from it. Things constantly repeat themselves, just a bunch of drugs and lust. Its annoying to watch, pretty much the two only things that make It okay is Kathy Bates and her son's relationship and detective John for finding his son. Four stars for seasons 1 through 4, two stars for season 5

Worst of the three seasons Season 1 gave us a well constructed all round enjoyable dip into the macarbe. Season 2 went all out in your face kinky torture fest that, for me pushed enough buttons to say I hope that's the end, as it was really getting stupid and silly. Season 3 , is just plain boring, poor script, bland acting and quite frankly a waste of time and money...... all goods things come to an end and this series passed that point nearly two years ago

Horrifyingly Fascinating This show seems rather boring at first glance, that is until you see how it completely throws morality out the window whenever it wants. A small touch of southern charm makes it all so polite, while murder, mayhem and plotting is always the new flavor of the day. The fact that these women's powers mean death is not the end makes the story just twisty enough to intrigue even the most hardcore and cynical critic into watching with guilty pleasure. The dichotomy between light and dark is alive in every single character. And unlike the normal crap these days, these characters not only don't always make the right choice..some of them have an almost sinful seeming love of being "Bad".

American horror story hotel If you love the series, skip this season. It got oddly gimmicky and fell short of every previous season. Freakshow was a stand-out for sure, but this season is really the worst so far. I'm not sure if the writers were resting on their laurels or if they thought the work was done for them (via pop star), but it is not the AHS we have come to love.
This show has had its day, unfortunately. I was obsessed with this show in the beginning. Especially season 1, I could watch over and over again. However, lately? Ever since Jessica Lange left, it's went to shit. Hotel was.. alright. Certainly better than the new season. "My Roanoke Nightmare". It's only two episodes in, and I'm debating on whether or not to even finish this season. Which has never happened. It's weak, and stupid. It doesn't even come close to upholding the standard it's set for itself. They're beating a dead horse, at this point:/
American Horror Story IT'S WITHOUT A DOUBT THE ABSOLUTE ALL TIME BEST TV-SERIES/SHOW 2 EVER GRACE APON THE SMALL SCREEN OR ANY TELEVISION SCREEN EVER HANDS DOWN!!! RYAN MURPHY IS A GENIUS MASTERMIND AND BEST WRITER/DIRECTOR/STORYTELLER OF MY GENERATION OR ANY OTHER GENERATION THAT WAS OR WILL EVER COME!!! AND THAT IS A FACT AND (A·H·S)IS HIS CROWN JEWEL OF ALL HIS WORK! NIP_TUCK IS HIS SECOND IN LINE.JUST INCREADABLE WORK THAT THIS MAN CREATIES ITS LIKE CATCHING LIGHTENING IN A BOTTLE TWICE ,AND THAT IS WHAT RYAN MURPHY HAS DONE WITH [A·H·S] THANKS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE CREATED AND WILL EVER CREATE IN THE FUTURE. FAN 4 LIFE MUCH LUV! KEEP IT UP WE ALL LOVE WHAT YOU DO.👍👍🏆🎬🙌
1st off, I own all of the A.H.S. {box sets} --> "Murder House" [Sn. #1]. "Asylum" [Sn. #2]. "Coven" [Sn. #3] ... Plus... I bought this Digital / Full Season - No. #4" of A.H.S.'s- "FREAK SHOW". & I am an 100% obsessed with this show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd season's. But... is it me? I think it seems like it's just me...(?!?!?) But, I thought A.H.S. - "Freak Show" was not what the first three seasons lived up to be. The first 3, I could barely wait to get to the next episode. With Freak Show, I got bored and... felt like it was a combo of Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpses" & "Clockwork Orange" = 4 Stars, eh.
My favorite of the series so far Coven wasn't to me as scary as Murder House or Asylum but it was a fave bc it was based off of a true story. You can go to NOLA right now and take a tour of the house used in this series and learn all the real horror of Kathy's character Madame LaLaurie. Who hasn't heard of Angela's character Marie Laveau? We have seen Kathy in horror but I've never seen Angela. She is awesome and I have to say Jessica Lange does another award winning performance. Hope to see the 3 of them work with each other again!
Where is it??!! Been waiting patiently for episode three for two extra days now! After reading comments i can see im not only one getting pd off. Dont u people read what your customers have to say?! Or do u just ignore everyone once u have our $???!!! What happened to customer service? Maybe you just figure youre too big now to worry about your unhappy customers!! U need to get yr act together google!
Disturbingly sick and twisted....SO GOOD! AHS series has been blowing my mind(hard thing to do!)MURDER HOUSE, so uniquely odd & sadly romantic. ASYLUM was really hard for me to watch,stopped after 3 episodes but went back & watched entire season. SO glad I did. COVEN was like a twisted sorority that I'd have killed to be in! FREAK SHOW I've yet to see, started HOTEL, Lady Gaga's acting gives me goosebumps it's so good!! However after 2 episodes I decided to watch FREAK SHOW, wanted to go in order and then HOTEL when I can but it!
Episode 1 started out strong, but all I can think in watching the other episodes is that no one, even if they weren't in their right mind would do these things. Ritual murder, torture, ghosts, etc. and none of it is scary.I think season 5 jumped the shark so hard that season 6 isn't able to recover. This is just bad writing.
American Horror Story...What can I say? The show is unbelievable. Ever since Season One I have seen that the actors really get into their characters. I love the different era's used in each season and how they involve real life serial killers and different situations that have actually happened. This show is my all time favorite and I have bought every single season up to date! I would recommend this show to anyone who has a deep love for Horror and Freaky Stuff. It won't give you nightmares and it isn't Horrific at all, but the crazy plots will make you want more. I love this show and for anyone who has never seen it, you should!
Forget season 2! Season 1 really got my started on AHS and I couldn't agree more that it is a fantastic and well thought out show. I was more than willingly to buy it on google because it is worth the money (since I don't bother with TV). Season 3 reminds me so much of the first season and why I fell in love with it! The thrill of Season 3 is so great that I even had a zombie dream the other night(not too pleasant to be a part of) but the show instills such a great vibe! I hope Jennifer Lange waits it out and does another season IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER
WTF. Just keeps getting worse S6 is worse than S5 and I thought Gaga was bad...now they decided to trash the storyline halfway through S6 and replace it with, wait for it, something even worse and, wait for it, tell us what happens to the people in advance. They'll reason with that BS by suggesting there'll be yet another twist to what we were already told would happen, doesn't matter, it's trash, they simply don't know how to write or direct anymore. Pissed I paid for this.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY This past season was really crazy. With the setting at the Freak Show Carnival all kinds of creepy things happened. If you don't like horror movies don't watch this. Once you start you can't stop. I can't wait til the new season starts. Put the kids to bed, turn the lights down, lock your doors and get ready.
WickeD To the person who commented several posts below me and rated this show one star while remarking that this show is "satanic": This series clearly isn't made for people like you. In the previous two years of hype and media coverage of this series, never mind its name, somehow convince you this was a feel-good Hallmark channel program about studying the bible? Did you seriously spend money then take the time to comment? Is that comment going to help anyone? "Horror" and "Coven" are in the title. Its amazing.
Season 5 was horrible What more can I say. I loved the first 3 seasons, but the show has lost it's footing since then. Plus they give a novice actress the lead, and relegate the veteran actresses to bit parts? If the first episode of 6 isn't good, I'll probably stop watching, even though I was a diehard fan the first 3 seasons.
American Horror Story fx Must watch and form your own opinion. For me its a let down. Don't expect this to be like the first 2. For me it was like watching something b rated. Why not just stop while they were a head. Waste of my time. Its far from being a horror story.
Its just what it describes its a freak show! Its scary, mysterious, odd, weird, horrifying, freaky, crazy, unconventional show for TV is what makes it so wonderful and curiously insane to want to watch the psychotic scary clown that jumps out when you least expect him to and the crazies that wonder around the town its wild and wickedly contagious to want to see what will they come up with next what are they doing why are they there? Its such an attraction like a circus can be this is not your ordinary circus or side show this is surely a freak show!!
Great show. Service is lacking Delays in episode availability have been pretty annoying, but I assumed there would be improvement. I actually delayed watching the latest episode to make sure that I wouldn't be annoyed by the availability issue. However, when I try to watch the episode, it loads initially then says that there is an error and I should touch to retry. Retrying has not resolved the issue. I have attempted to watch the episode via download and streaming methods multiple times. Neither work. Purchase elsewhere.
Season 5 - Best Yet, Maybe! After watching episode 1, I'm of the mind that Ryan Murphy, the writers, cast, and crew just may be on the path to the best season yet! Season 1 was my favorite. Season 4 is right up there too and I think the scariest (until now with Hotel)... Season 2 was alright but a little too far out (aliens, the devil, still unsure what was going on)... But now comes along season 5 - HOTEL - to knock our socks off... and its only just begun! Way to go AHS, you've made me fall even deeper in love!
So different! 1st season, horrifying hauntings that the home owners can't get away from no matter how hard they try. The 2nd, a dark, gruesome story of a corrupt insane asylum. The 3rd was the best so far, which is saying a lot. It's about a coven & the ugliness that can appear on the most beautiful when true power is contested. I'm looking forward to this year's Freakshow. I love that the same actors play dif parts each year. Great cast! Nice if Dylan McDermott would come back if just for a small part!
Duh People!! SMH You complain about having to pay per episode/season...but who wants to start a season in the middle of it?? Your paying for the convenience of being able to watch each episode and the season from the beginning. That's something you couldn't do a few years ago. Also, you complain that it's not free however you pay for cable so you are, in fact, paying for TV. Stop being cheapskates. Obviously if you were a true fan you would have no problem with the price.
Still no episode? I am really disappointed I paid for the season on google! I still can't watch the episode I paid for 3days later!? I figured I would try buying AHS on here to see how it works & how I like google for future purchases of digital shows & movies , I was even thinking of buying the $35 google tv thing....I am not impressed & will not make a purchase on here again! I am a happy Amazon shopper (I even have their credit card) & will be making all future digital tv & movie purchases through them. I want a refund!!!
creepily interesting I like this show a lot... with its almost provocatively shocking moments to it's random sadistic humor... like in season 2 when the journalist miss winters escapes to the mental institution just to discover she comes face to face with a serial killer she's been wanting to write a story on and the way she finds that out is by what I call the nipple lamp.... it's a very intense scene but to be honest when she saw that lamp I laughed in shock and in horror...that is how this show is... Nipple lamps!
Confused Why did the previous episodes post a day after airing, yet episode 3 is now taking forever? Not really mad at Google, because who knows, FX may want it this way. Either way, I wish they would hurry and post.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY COVEN Beyond bizarre. ;-) if you really love old fashioned classic horror mixed with realistic contemporary themes, one episode and you'll be hooked like a junkie l.o.l. since I first watched one episode I never miss one and if I couldn't record on TV d.v.r. I'd buy it on Google play or " At least give it a chance. Not for the faint of heart. But to be 101% honest, it's given a. a TV.MA rating for a reason. Fo IT IS GORY at times. Nothing ventured nothing.
American Horror Story A work of art. Dark and enriched characters that uniquely set the tone for this devilish show. I've been frightened a time or two, not going to lie, almost every time I watch this amazing show! But, the horror and the smart writers, cast, and crew is done by nothing short of perfection! Bravo! A must see!
NEW EPISODE PLEASE AHS is superbly written and acted, worthy of a five-star rating, but unfortunately I have to give it one star like many others have done, and will not change it until Google notices and speeds up the availability of the new episodes! Two days is way too long of a wait, especially for those of us that prepaid for a season pass. We gave you our money; now please deliver the product! Failing that, we should be allowed a refund.
I have been watching American Horror Story since the first season and fell in love with it, but this season I am very disappointed that Jessica Lang is not in it. She was perfect for this show, she was the baddest B*tch of all , and no one ( Lady Gaga ) can replace the talent and conviction that she gave to all of her performances through out the seasons. That is what made the show so great was the returning characters with the ability to play such complex different roles. Knowing that Jessica Lang was not in AHS made me not excited to watch this season.
I absolutely love this show Without spoiling anything, let me just say that Freak Show is quite something. Now, a few episodes include a musical number, which I wouldnt mind if they actually fit the time period they're set in (early 1950s). Thats been my main bugger but other than that, each episode has engaged me fully. Jimmy is probably my favorite, his actor is amazing, and although I have mixed feelings about Elsa, Jessica Lange proves once again that she has quite a range of talent. & Dandy....now thats a character....
Disgraceful This show is disgusting. I like scary movies and suspenseful stories but this stuff is just sickening. I shut it off and felt sick to my stomach. WAY too sexual and dark. But that's America nowadays, right? No wonder everyone "loves" it. Absolutely garbage.
Ringling brothers have it WRONG! THIS is the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH Absolutely my addiction! Perfection at it's FINEST!! Intrigue, disgust, lust, hate, love, good, evil, suspense, anger, shock, HELL, it has it ALL! Perfectly balanced; always ALMOST 2 much, ALMOST not enough...written exquisitely, the cast they put together every season mesh with perfect balance with the original and dare I say, unbeatable original cast. This is the ONLY reason I have television. It shows us just how doomed we as society are. BC nothing matters anymore except for WHAT SOCIETY tells us Does!
It's possibly one of the best The third season of American Horror Story doesn't fail to bring the characteristic morbidity of the first two seasons. Although personally, I did not find it as good as the first season, it might be just because I've come to expect certain things from AHS; and that is to be freaked and grossed out at times. I totally recommend this series, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart and the easily offended.
Delayed service, not worth it. I have always been a fan of the show. For the previous seasons, I had purchased them via iTunes, but decided to give Google a try for 3rd season mainly because I wanted to watch the episodes on my android tablet. GREATEST MISTAKE EVER. Honestly, I'd much rather watch the episodes on my laptop or iphone 2 hours after the television rather than have to wait DAYS to watch the latest episode on my tablet. Purchase season on itunes or amazon video, this is waste of time and money. GET IT TOGETHER GOOGLE.
Never missed a season I watched the haunted house the asylum and now this the witches I like the fact that most of the characters play in all three! :-)now I am watching the circus freaks #1 fan
Been a HOOKED Fan from Season #1 Like everyone here says here. If you're not into AHS, you're really left behind. While other series are good, or better this one is indeed THE BEST. I see that season 5 takes place in a hotel. I can't wait to check in. I'll be staying the whole season. No maid service needed. Season 5 episode 1, is free right now here on the play store. So get it while it is. If you want to catch up, for those of you who have not seen this splendid series. I suggest you start with Season one. For the die hard fans. Lets go down this rabbit hole together. See you @ the end of season 5.
