American Horror Story: Coven

[neverending]

You've completely missed the point of the entire series then.

It was Ryan Murphy's stated aim, in many interviews before the show started, and since, to comment on things in America's past and present that are troublesome, by using horror tropes filtered through American history and legends. This season alone they had references to the Salem witch trials- this happened in Salem, Massachusetts, not anywhere else- and slavery which plaqued America in it's early years, and used specific historical characters from New Orleans, which were involved in the voodoo religion which arose among the slaves.

The other two seasons did similar things. Ir's like you don't even know what show you've been watching. It's no wonder you have such a low opinion of the show with your lack of knowledge of the show itself. They didn't name the show American Horror Story because it sounded nice- it has a meaning.

I think the third season suffers only in comparison with the first two seasons. Murphy and Falchuck set the bar impossibly high.

Did you ever see "Carnivale"? Another show that was cancelled too soon.

I have not.

Guess I'm alone but I thought the finale was great. Didn't see a few things coming which I dug.

Asylum is definitely the best of the three. I would rate the first season as my favorite if the ending wasn't so fucking atrociously shit

I'd love to see a carnival story... although yeah Carnivale has already done it and I doubt very much it would be topped.

A Manson style cult would be interesting too.

A cult might be interesting. He did do serial killers with the Bloody Face thing, but that's not really the same thing.

Bigfoot....Mothman...Obamacare

[The Villain]

Was hoping for the circus but I recently read that Murphy has plans for the next two seasons and a circus isn't it.

Urban Legends might be cool.

Seeing as the series Cult kinda bombed it might be hard pitching the idea. I think it would be excellent. Nothing more American than cults

Unfortunately that's true.
