American Horror Show always delivers, well most of the time. I just finished watching Cult and to be honest it is my least favorite season. I found it very boring. However, I also viewed Apocalypse and I absolutely loved it. The way the writers put everything together between Murder House, Coven and the current season was phenomenal.
My personal ranking is
1. Asylum (who doesn't love a possessed nun, a serial killer, alien abduction and a Nazi doctor? Plus it was the first time we got to see Naomi Grossman and the beloved Pepper).
2. Freak Show
3. Coven
4. Apocalypse
5. Murder House
6. Roanoke
7. Hotel
8. Cult
You probably noticed I haven't included 1984, that's because I haven't seen it yet.
