"American Horror Story"

[jaragon]

"American Horror Story" has been on the air since 2011-like most anthology shows it's a mixed bag of good and bad episodes well in this case each season tells one story.  They all look fantastic and have amazing cast but Ryan Murphy, it's creator seems to be running out of ideas and repeating himself.  I caught Season 8 "Armageddon" and thought it was really insane and stupid at the same time- the show starts off with a nuclear attack and how various characters including Joan Collins try to escape to fancy bomb shelter.   Two young people Timothy (Kyle Allen ) and Emily (Ash Santos) are taken against their will because of their superior genetic potential.  This seems to suggest some sort of  sci-fi horror scenario but were do the  other obnoxious characters fit in- well they all end up in  this center run by Sarah Paulson dressed up like Mrs Danvers from "Rebecca".  Tim and Emily are told all sexual intercourse is forbidden so their superior genes are going to waster. We do the usual Murphy style of gore, gay sex, suggested kink ( the man in black leather shows up from season 1).  Like every season this one starts well specially when I thought talent free comedian  Billy Eichner got blown in the first fifteen minutes

SPOILER ALERT

the story line which becomes preposterous throws off the sci fi potential and becomes a show about witches?!
