American Horror Story

Back when LOST was still on TV, I was a huge fan. It was the first TV show I really got into and watched every week. But ever since it ended, I never really found a show that was good enough to replace it. And now, after finally watching episode ten of American Horror Story, I think I’ve finally found it.
The show is about a family of three who move into a old house, known as the “Murder House” because of its horrific history of housing many gruesome murders throughout the years. I don’t want to give too much about the plot away, but American Horror Story is definitely unlike any other TV show. Every episode has new surprises and plot twists and it really kept me interested. At first, the show seemed a little weird and the first couple episodes moved a little slowly, but it still made me want to find out what the show was all about. I admit it, there are some parts that actually scared me and are a little bit gruesome. I’m not a huge fan of scary/horror-type films, but I still love it.
Like LOST, the plot is a little confusing and there are a lot of questions that are left unanswered, but that made me want to keep watching. But I was left only to discover new things to be thrown in that left me questioning some more. The show has flashbacks to the past and memories of the characters that help the plot play out and answer the watchers’ questions along the way.
The plot is brilliant, and all the actors are very good and definitely play their roles well. There are only two episodes left in this season, and I don’t think I’m quite ready for it to be over yet.
