The start of something weird and (sometimes) wonderful
I recently convinced my partner to watch Game of Thrones (she loved it in case you were worried) and the deal was, when we were done with GoT, we would watch one of her favourite shows - American Horror Story.

As we sat down to watch the first season (often referred to as Murder House) of this anthology style series, I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I ended up really enjoying our time with the Harmons.

The season has a suitably creepy tone throughout, and a plot line that keeps you in the dark with what happens throughout, and a pretty impressive amount of violence and horror effects.

The huge positive about this show though is obviously the ensemble cast.
Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, and Jessica Lange in particular all carve in some really memorable parts to the overall series.
Sarah Paulson doesn't star too much in season 1, but her short time is a nice taster for the important roles she will play moving forwards.

The overall tone can be campy and hammy at times, but that balance throughout Murder House is pretty good.
We ended up watching the whole season in a couple of nights, and I'm glad that I let AHS into my viewing life 👍

Out of all of the seasons, the first is by far, the best. It completely creeped me out, and I still have nightmares sometimes. Evan Peters was the standout from this season, and my favorite part.

Werid to start off with but good when you get into it.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I enjoyed this series and I do feel as their are stronger American Horror Series it hasn't aged well already.
I enjoy the way it twists and turns although nothing to surprising happens it makes you analyse the characters more then you would normally.
The way different well know murders are included also adds interest.

It’s darkly funny sometimes
Too many characters/issues.....less would have made for a stronger story (1 more)
They could have made the story tighter and better with less episodes

Twistedly beautiful
This series is very refreshing. Weird and sometimes strange but like a guilty pleasure nonetheless leaving you wanting more! With storylines and characters so twisted and peculiar it leaves you totally mind boggled. And just so you know tate Langdon is sinfully delicious (just saying!) I have progressed to series 3 so far so I have a lot to catch up on (I know! Don't give me that judging look) ? but I will say from what I've seen, if you think the first series isnt enough to keep you up all night binge watching episodes like its going out of fashion. Just you wait! each following season gets better and awesomely shocking! your brain will start to wonder "wait... Did my eyeballs just see that!?" two thumbs up and two big toe wiggles from me thoroughly recommend to anyone who revels in not being normal, well because normal people scare me of course ?

All shock no substance for me
I have a very love-hate relationship with AHS I continue to watch every season but I never actually enjoy it, I feel for the most part they all go for as much shock as they can but no real story because they try and pull everything into ten different directions without actually really getting into anything.

Season 1 for me was the one that did this the most there were so many stories going on and I never really cared about any of them, I kind of just kept watching to see what crazy crap was going to happen next.

In the end, I respected what “American Horror Story” did for television than really liked the show. I’m looking forward to Season Two, hoping that Ryan Murphy gives us an authentic terror tale rather than a “Peyton Place” with spirits.

Great Horror series
A great show with great actors. I love the way the story unravels and gets darker, more twisted. One to binge watch for sure.
