Anyone here a fan of American Horror Story?


I never watched it. Barely heard of it but apparently it's very good. Just by the titles and covers, I think I'd like Asylum, Freak Show, Cult and maybe Hotel.
I saw the first 5 seasons on sale for 18$ each on bluray at a store near my house.

So here's what I want to know:

1.Is it violent/scary/gore?
2.Is it bad/good/very good/amazing?
3.Which seasons are the best ones?
4.Which ones are the worst.

You don't have to answer all questions but any help will be appreciated.

It's up for debate as to which seasons are the best. I liked Murder House the best, but I couldn't get through Freak Show. I'm sure someone else will tell you that Freak Show is the best. I also liked Asylum and Hotel, but Hotel is one that is pretty divisive. The Liz Taylor character really helped me like that season. I would say that Roanoke is the worst, but that is just my opinion.

I also don't really think that any of them have been scary.

thanks

1. It is somewhat violent. I don't find it scary personally.
2. Overall it is very good. It is pretty crazy and fun, most of the time.
3. Asylum is the best season. Murder House is second best. Cult, Freak show and hotel were good too.
4. Roanoke is by far the worst. Coven was the second worst in my opinion.

I just looked all the trailers and Coven actually looked like it could be one of the best. Then again, it'S just a 1min. trailer.

I haven't watched Cult but agree with everything else.
Roanoke was terrible, so disappointing.

I thought it was a'ight. Too many episodes...lots of filler. Not really that gross...not really that scary.
I watched all of season one...bailed during season two. I really like horror flicks...but so far I haven't found a tv horror series that does it for me.

I adore it, well mostly, though I have not watched this new season yet. I am recording it though. I will watch at some point.

1. It can be very violent and gory. Not all seasons are. It can be "disturbing",which describes it mostly , IMO.

2. It can be amazing. To me this applies to the fantastic actors appearing in the different seasons.
The most amazing actors to me, are Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson. The others? Most are good.

3. and 4. My favs in order from BEST to Worst:

Season 2- Asylum
S3 - Coven
S1 - Murder House
S4 - Freakshow
S6 - Roanoke
S7 - Cult
****S5 - Did not watch due to Gaga (can't stomach her)
