My Fav. seasons of AHS are:
S5 (Hotel)
S1 (Murder House)
S8 (Apocalypse).
they really fulfil my expectations, not like the rest of seasons.
Though, i Liked the musical number that Ms Lang did.

Ok so after watching season 1 of ahs, I expected this season to be just as thrilling as that one. Little did I know that it is liTERALLY THE SCARIEST SEASON EVER IDK WHY IM ACTING LIKE THIS.

Not for the feint hearted. But well worth it if you can hold on. Took me almost two years to watch all of this season: very intense (for me, ymmv)

This is by far one of the greatest shows of all time! The story is so engrossing, truly a master piece. I my opinion much more interesting than season 1, I loved it took us into a world that hadn’t been covered by the mainstream media. A look into the mind of a psychopath killer, and what terrible things “sane” people are willing to commit for their ambition and power.

American horror story asylum,in my opinion is the ultimate best season. It has so many plot twists it's awesome! And the characters and cast are so brilliant. This season is very dark, but that's what American horror story is all about! this season has a purpose and a great plot. it makes you want to watch episode after episode. Truly a great season.

I've watched all the season of American Horror Story and this season was my least favorite. I found it kind of boring yet very suspenseful I do have to give it that but I did feel like it was missing something.

I loved murder house, coven, and freak show, they show characters and their story's; but this was just horrid. I cannot watch this ever again. What happened?

This season keeps your attention until the last episode. So much gore, shock, and horror but it is all great. I would recommend this show to anyone. Its a lot different than Murder House, imo better because it doesnt have that soap opera vibe. Definitely 5 stars!

Asylum, in my opinion, is the best season of the three; while Coven is the worst. Asylum is dark, creepy, atmospheric and disturbing. I hope season 4 is similar.

I wasn’t a fan of TV series before, but with this one and The Walking Dead, I got totally hooked. I bought all 3 seasons of AHS together and watched them all. I can say that this season is the best. Even though all of them have a unique taste and non of them is short of perfection but this one is definitely the best.
There’s just so much focus on characters that you forget everything and focus on what’s going to happen to each one of them. From abductions to possessions to serial killers, nazis, religious fanatics, experiment clinics and torture chambers, you get feel more immersed than ever into the world of Briarcliff Asylum and it’s distinguished characters.
There’s more character development here than I’ve ever seen anywhere else. You might think “the story has too many themes” and I’ll tell you: yes it does, but it fits perfectly in this universe and because of the brilliant characters and thrillers, you’ll find yourself embracing everything and just waiting at the edge of your seat to what will happen to the characters next.
Jessica Lange is at her best, here. I’ve never seen such a strong female lead, brilliant acting and character development.
Never waste the opportunity to watch this. Whether you loved or hated the other seasons, this one is perfect and you’ll surely admire it a lot.

Don't listen to all these people saying this was a horrible season. Just because it's different than season one doesn't mean it's bad. I LOVED this season. Kit Walker is by far one of my favorite characters. The Name Game scene was hilarious and a great way to welcome the series back after the holiday break. This season was definetly NOT a disappointment. The whole battle between God and reality is well portrayed. The creators of this show have an amazing talent of creating a setting and plot in which the evil resides deep within the walls of the asylum and murder house, rather than the people there. The flashbacks and such show this. Sure, you could get rid of Arden, Mary Eunice, the Monsignor, Tate, Chad, or Thaddeus. The evil in these places in much deeper than a human affliction, and the creators have an uncanny ability to create a flawlessly gory and twisted plot while still maintaining this.

It shies in comparison with season one but is still a strong effort. Fortunately we all have a lot to hope for in season 3 which (witch) I'm loving so far!

The thing with season one is that I thought, contrary to a lot of people here, that it was VERY cliche. The first season, idk what it was, but it wasn't scary AT ALL. I mean sure, I jumped like twice the whole season, but that's it. This season was a lot scarier to me...probably because anything doing with the devil and demons is just, GAWD, scary to me. The only complaint I have with this season is that they tried to cram way to many things into it. I mean it was an insane asylum, then there were aliens, labratory creatures, the whole nazi thing, the possessed devil stuff, and just all of these things, and it somewhat distracted from the main storyline. I can also tell they were tring to show the somewhat controversial topics in the sixties like Gay and Interracial couples, not to mention that weird polygamy situation, which again, did they really need to include ALL OF THAT because it was controversial back then? Other than that, I really loved this season!

Season 2 had way to much going on to really get hooked. If they had just focused on one or two of the side stories it would have been great. I feel like a couple of the side stories served no purpose, they weren't scary nor did they add to the story in any way. Mostly these extra stories got in the way. Hopefully season 3 is better.

I am a huge fan of American Horror Story season one. It did just about everything right! But season 2 was a definite misstep in my book. The plot was all over the map, the character's choices and ambitions were inconsistent, and I didn't feel there was enough of a 'punch' at the end of the story.
Season One ranks among my favorite shows. Season Two does not. I'll cross my fingers for Season Three!

I really love this show... Except the second season started to get borring to me after a few episodes.
The first season was great I give it a 10/10. I hope the third season is better than the last.

Unbelievable script work, super unbelievable cast, and possibly the best mature show a mature person can watch. To be honest, the horror genre has gone to the dogs. This show is brings glory to the genre in its lowest era. Brilliant story, acting, script, screenplay, and music, too! Not to mention, this season can drive a person crazy! ;)

I finished the first season today and realized how well done it was. It was truly scary. ASYLUM was just gross and hard to watch most of the time. I did want to continue to watch it to see where some plot lines were going, but with trepidation - sometimes I felt like it was an assault on the senses rather than a story. Too many plot lines that never really clearly came to fruition and were a far, far, far stretch of believability. Waiting for season 3 - very excited!!!
