American Horror Stories (TV Series)

"[2nd Season Review]: The episodic pace of American Horror Stories keeps the action lean and satisfying, and its sense of humor is as welcome as the foreboding and sidelong connections back into the AHS narrative mothership." 

"[It] takes Murphy’s and Falchuk’s indulgences and compresses them down so they’re easier to tolerate." 

"[After two episodes, it is] a flashy debut for 'American Horror Stories' that may please fans of the core series, but it doesn’t do enough to show off the versatility of its concept and to differentiate itself from what’s come before it (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"In its two-part opener, 'American Horror Stories' returns to its roots for a fun exercise in nostalgia and continuity (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"A story that starts strong but then undercuts its initial bite with a second half that feels too silly and sloppy." 

"It’s obviously a very steady hand that directed these episodes, which feel completely at home in the 'AHS' universe (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
