It looks interesting doesn't it?
American Horror Story was an unexpected delight and I didn't hesitate ordering the second season. I was not really dissapointed although I liked the first season better. This one is crammed with stuff. First off, an asylum full of insane people, some of them murderers not in prison because they are found insane. The place is run by a born again catholic Nun (the excellent Jessica Lange) who hospitalises a journalist trying to make a story about a nasty seriel killer who flayed his victims. The man accused of being that is actually abducted by aliens (yeah I'm not kidding) and is examined by the court appointed pyschiatrist who is actually SPOILER the killer. There is also a medical doctor who experiments on patients trying to improve human beings (the experiments are kept at a secret place in the garden, they are horrible, attacking everyone and everything they see) and this doctor is actually a former Nazi officer who tortured people at concentration camps. Not to mention a sweet nun assistant to born again Nun who was possessed by a demon during an exorcism gone bad. Oh and we have a Priest whose ambitions to become a Cardinal and later Pope over shadows everything else in his life. Yeah the only thing lacking was the kitchen sink, vampires, werevolves and witches.
I liked it a lot though. The cast is very good (and I don't really like Joseph Fiennes, nowhere near as talented as his brother, but enjoyed hating him here), the soundtrack entertaining and I'm now eager to watch American Horror Story Coven (the fourth season called The Freak Show is currently airing in USA).
Recommended.
