We barely made it through the first episode. It was beyond boring and the children were beyond annoying. However, being such big fans of the first season, we decided to give it another try. We made it to episode five and turned it off at the end of that episode with zero desire to revisit it. For us, the characters aren't developed well enough and we had very little interest in them. Especially, the little girl. It was like watching Haley Mills in a horror movie. We've rewatched the first season a few times and are still impressed with it on so many levels. We saw new things each time we rewatched it. This season didn't do anything for us. Ryan Murphy keeps trying to perfect using the same actors playing different roles in different seasons and it rarely works. It certainly doesn't work here. This is just my opinion. I know others like it, we did not.
Oh and I have to say, the British accents are awful. It's as though they're all in Oliver Twist or something.
