American Horror Story: Coven miniseries

"There’s always something unsavory about using the supernatural as a shield to indulge in sex-laced sadism, which has become a common and frankly rather tired aspect of the whole (...) streak running through the series." 

"There are a number of decent effects and a healthy dose of humor that keep things moving along in an entertaining way. Eventually, the many stories find their way together, which helps propel the premiere to its promising finish." 

"'American Horror Story: Coven' ramps the silliness up an enjoyable notch with a story set in a New Orleans school for young witches." 

"We’ve come to expect an eclectic mix from the 'American Horror Story' anthology, and the formula works particularly well in this installment, thanks to uninhibited work by the big-name cast." 

"There's still blood and gore all over the floor (...) Not to mention rape, gruesome torture and evil run riot (...) But there's also a lightness of touch and tone, a backlight of sly humor and, more important, a clearly delineated narrative."
