PART 1) AHS is my all time favourite show. While being imperfect at times, the show embodies true campy horror in its most unique form. This show is like nothing that has ever been created. Besides the aspects of horror this show takes on, the most important thing is the way the show portrays and delivers significant messages to the audience. For example, Cult (season 7) expresses the idea that no government system is perfect and while society fights for the better political party to such an intense extent, the show reveals that in reality no politician is a perfect politician. The show hints that we blindly allow ourselves to be led down destructive paths by destructive people - just like how America went into crisis during their 2016 election when Donald Trump was voted in (which is what the season revolves around). Another great example of the messages this show demonstrates is in Freak Show (season 4) as the show fights for equality and the belief that no matter what kind of outcast you are in society, you deserve to be treated as a human. AHS takes on the genre of horror and uses it in a way that prompts in-depth insight and discussion.
My rankings of the seasons from best to worst are easily:
1- Cult (Evan Peters in this season left me speechless, his performance as the different cult leaders was beyond incredible and this goes for everyone in the season, the acting was amazing. The message behind this season is what makes it my favourite, it was very interesting and included major plot twists in the shows finest fashion. Out of all the seasons, Cult was the one that made me think the most. Nothing can top the season for me!)
2- Freak Show (This was the first season I had ever watched by ahs and it ranks so highly because it is probably the shows most unique season. This is the season that got me hooked on ahs. I struggle to put to words the greatness of this season. The storyline was by far one of the shows greatest and most significant.)
3- Hotel (CAMPY HORROR!!! This season is completely eccentric and quite unsettling which creates the greatest version of horror! This season included a range of different aspects which created a storyline that hooked you every minute. Hotel is the shows true horror season and they did it in a way that true horror fans can appreciate. While some may say this season over stepped many boundaries, I believe that is what is exciting about this season. I am obsessed!)
4- Apocalypse (This season was unquestionably messy at times as it turned into a sequel of Coven and Murder House, however you can see how hard the show tried with this season. The season ranks highly for me because you cannot deny this season was truly exciting, unique and individual. I love that the season revolved around the idea that evil cannot be rid of in this world. The last episode of this season was easily one of the shows greatest endings of all and Cody Fern's performance and character is a huge highlight amongst all of ahs!)
5- Murder House (This season would have ranked number 1 for me if it didn't end the way it did. I found this season predictable and I love when the show includes twists that you don't suspect, so I felt let down in the last couple episodes. I would have liked to have seen more added to the plot. However, I know this season changed the game for horror movies as it was completely unique in its time of release. The highlights for me were easily Tate's story and the fact we got to understand and love all the characters of the season.)
