If you have time to think critically, you have too much free time on your hands!

Or if you don't like, don't watch. I really don't get this "hate watching" trend. I barely have enough time to keep up with the shows that I like, let alone the ones that I loathe. Some people just have too much free time on their hands.

 

 

 

As for complexity of plot and character, that's not really what I'm looking for in a horror movie. The majority, even the classics, don't have either. I'm just looking forward to a fun and wild ride!

Meh, I've never really bought that argument.  I admit that Murphy and co's product fascinates me (as do fans who find his work genuinely groundbreaking.)  So I do plan on at least watching the first few episodes.  They interest me on several levels--I like some of the actors a lot, I think he (and Falchuk) are often good at setting up concepts and, yes, I find it oddly fascinating how inept their follow through is, and, yeah, I kinda like pointing out how his seemingly transgressive themes almost always ultimately seem to reinforce the status quo he claims to be fighting against.  And while I can now see early signs of all of his problems in his early work like Popular and the first season or maybe two of Nip/Tuck, I genuinely was a fan.

Although, in hindsight I have no idea how or why I made it through all (I think?) of The New Normal.

Well, have fun hate watching and tearing it apart! I won't be dropping in here again until the season is over. Too much negativity. Don't want it to mar my experience. Call me crazy, but I like rooting for things to succeed, not to fail. And, yes, I'm sure y'all be devastated and will miss me terribly. xo

5 minutes in and I see that Murphy watched THE SHINING while copying, I mean writing this.

Ryan Murphy must be so bad at sex. 

[Jordan Catalano]

Oh it looks like he watched SE7EN a bunch of times also while copying, I mean, writing this script. He's probably banking on nobody having ever seen that one so they won't know he's ripping it off.

50 minutes in and I have no f*cking clue what this show is about.

Gaga is ... well, I think her best scene was the one where she didn't have to speak.

65 minutes in and already Gaga has shown better acting chops than Madonna has in her whole career.  #shesnotshe

Well, sure, but that's a low bar.

I enjoyed it.  Maybe this season they can delay the inevitable collapse a couple of episodes longer than last year?  Baby steps.  Oh, and 90 minutes without glaring misogyny!!! YAYRYANMURPHY, YOU GO, GURRRRRRRL.

What site do you think you're on?!?

Usually the first episodes are good and it goes downhill from there. But this felt like it should have been 8 episodes in. I thought it was a total nonsensical mess.

That was...something. It was like an hour of "look at this crazy sex sh!t" followed by 30 mins of what Ryan Murphy might consider plot. He's really turning into Zack Snyder shooting things as basically music videos.

Welcome to the Hotel California...

I was so glad they played that because I never would've made the connection otherwise!

How about that Sopranos-y touch of cutting it off at "You can NEVER leave--".  I thought my cable went out!

Please come back, Jessica, all is forgiven.

Lange should consider herself lucky she never checked into this hotel.

Well I for one liked it. I agree with Jordan that this is the kind of episode you usually see about 8 episodes in, but I think that it's still pretty good. I like Gaga's character and I actually think she's pretty good in the show. Of course, it looks great and it's moody and atmospheric. Hoping for at least 6 good episodes this season. (Though that's unlikely as the show is on a downward trajectory with 10 good episodes in Murder House, 8 in Asylum, 5 in Coven and 4 in Freak Show)

 

Edit: Oh yeah, worth it for Matt Bomer alone.

I am sooooooooooooooo happy Jessica is not there doing that one Jessica thing Jessica does on this show.

 

I like the late-'70s cop movie feel of the cop's segments.  He might be a leftover from the "Cruising" investigations.

 

Also, how did I never ever hear "Tear You Apart" by She Wants Revenge before in my life?

Whatever. Jessica could drink a highball, smoke, and monologue like no one else!
