My wife just finished Hotel, and started this one, and HOLY SHIT it's hilariously bad. It seems like the horror concept is literally just Trump and 4chan guys, and the victims are all literally triggered libs. The dialogue sound like it was written by Neera Tanden. Does it get better?

    Watched 8 episodes of AHS Circus while drunk one night and damn that was bullshit directed to 12 years-olders. I was like "this can't be the shit so many fucking people say it's cool"

    Really awful. Full of lib nonsense. That was the one that made me stop watching... did they make anymore after that?

      I just looked it up, there's an Armageddon one, and a 1984 (the time period, not the book, I think). Haven't seen any

    Cult is almost worth watching just to see Evan whatshisname playing multiple other cult leaders in flashback scenes.

    Also, Lena Dunham as Valerie Solanas. Perfect casting for a Ryan Murphy depiction of her.

      So far this has been my reaction, it's hilariously bad, but because of that, I haven't turned it off yet. It's like a really good MST3K movie, already funny on accident.

    I couldn't make it through the first episode when I originally saw it. I'm giving it another shot right now and I can't actually tell if the dialogue is genuine or if they're just doing a bit lmao

      SAME!!!!! If it is a bit, it's actually really fucking good, but I'm scared that it's sincere....

      I really like Roanoke, but so far none of the others.....go figure...this one is especially bad, though, because instead of building a fictional universe, they're basing it on really existing political events and attitudes, but seemingly written by the blueist of checkmarks.

          I did think the end was the weakest part, but the framing of the first half as a reenactment/documentary was genius

        I guess I was a lib at the time so didn’t really pay much attention to the political events involved. I thought Lady Gaga did a good job and I always liked the scenes at the bar.

    I watched It when it came out. I hate when shows just do the news with weak ass """"parody""""

    I always gave it the credit if doing a bit or a charicature of the dumbest extremes of twitter libs and cons... im probably being too generous though. Hotel is best imo
