American Horror Story: Massacres and Matinees (2014)
Not very great
Pretty poor way to continue the show after the amazing first episode. Ryan Murphy didn't direct and write this one so some differences were expected, but this was just disappointing to watch. First episode knew the premise was over the top and ridiculous, and it didn't give a damn. It worked around that ridiculous story extremely well: the characters, the camera work, the story structure... those were all goofy and grotesque at the same time - a show wasn't taking itself seriously and it didn't demand from viewers to do so.
This episode did. It took characters and story that weren't meant to be realistic, and tried to make them realistic. And it doesn't work. AHS never had particularly strong writing, so the failure was all that bigger when they had unbelievable characters try to deliver a real (though poorly written) dialogue. The show lost all of its self awareness and charm in the first 10 minutes of this episode.
