Goddamn. Now that is how you start a new season.
We all know AHS is less about the horror and more about the macabre and shock factor. And damn, this one sells.
Great use of music in this season. A new dark dingy set, reminiscent of the hotel from the Shining. Wes Bentley is a delight to see in this fairly normal role so far. Matt Bomer is a feast. Denis O'Hare has a get up you wont soon forget in this season and he is pulling it off very convincingly. Sarah Paulson isnt as interesing as she used to be. But I have to say going in, I was hesitant to see what Lady Gaga would bring to the table. But oh wow, she so far is the star attraction. I feel the loss of Jessica Lange but I think Lady Gaga has so much screen presence, she will fill Lange's shoes quite comfortably.
This has to be the best season opener I have seen AHS put foward so far. Cant wait to see this season.
