The one bright spot was Denis O'Hare's Liz Taylor, but one amazing, sympathetic character does not a good season make.ĭramatics highs: John Carroll Lynch is a gifted actor and "1984" gave him some juicy stuff to work with, turning him from a sadistic slasher to a protective father wracked with guilt over his younger brother's death. But this season ranks last because it often felt like it was favoring style over substance. The style of the season was incredible - hats off to the set and costume designers. Sarah Paulson, a Murphy stalwart, was severely under-utilized as Hypodermic Sally - and I do realize that's because she was busy simultaneously filming an incredible performance for American Crime Story, but it doesn't change the fact that she should have either been a bigger player or just skipped this AHS season. "Hotel" was kind of all over the map both thematically and storyline-wise, with the serial killer investigation falling flat and overdoing it on the vampire aspect. Lady Gaga was brought in as the "headliner," and while she was better than I thought she'd be, she definitely was no Lange. What was Feud's immense gain was definitely American Horror Story's loss when Jessica Lange departed the AHS franchise. Evan Peters’ appearance midway through the season was a fun surprise, especially since he was playing against his AHS type as the sadistic James March.ĭramatic lows: Um, everything else? The Ten Commandments Killer and the vampire stuff just were not executed well at all. Dramatic highs: Max Greenfield’s brief appearance was arguably the most disturbing thing AHS has ever done when his character met the Drilldo demon.
