American Horror Story: Freak Show

American Horror Story – Season 4 (Freak Show) Review

Like every season, American Horror Story started with a lot of potential. The conceit of following the horrors that may come along with following characters in a Freak Show actually made perfect sense. Set in a time period where acceptance was on the border of happening and still being a foreign concept.Yet, as the season…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Curtain Call"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Curtain Call” Review

The freaks were not taking Dandy’s bullshit when it came to his harassment. It was understandable from their point of view. Dandy walked in all high and mighty with claims of what the show should be and how it should be selling. They struck him down and then quit on him. Now, if they knew…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Show Stoppers"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Show Stoppers” Review

Stanley isn’t an idiot. It was good that he quickly realized that he was being set up. They wanted him dead. They wanted him punished for hurting their friends and they were going to do so by playing with Stanley. They played with him teasing a feature and picking at what they knew to be…

American Horro Story: Freak Show - "Magical Thinking"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Magical Thinking” Review

At least Stanley didn’t kill Jimmy like he did the others. Then again all he needed was hands so leaving him alive wasn’t something out of reason. Even if Jimmy chose to rat on him, who would believe a man accused of a mass murder. Jimmy wasn’t left to just rot in the hospital after…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - Orphans

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Orphans” Review

For what seems like the first time all season, someone died of natural causes. Yes, Salty, Pepper’s companion and fellow pinhead died in his sleep. The opening of Pepper so overwrought with sadness that she didn’t want to leave his dead body was sad. That however didn’t mean that Stanley wasn’t going to take advantage…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Tupperware Party Massacre"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Tupperware Party Massacre” Review

Jimmy has gone from one of my favorite characters in the season, to just a pathetic excuse. He’s devolved into a character I no longer like. On a show like this, it’s nice to at least like one of the characters among all the horrible people and deeds on the show. However, the devolution of…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Blood Bath"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Blood Bath” Review

Elsa was truly torn up over Ma Petite’s death. She made a show of it all, however, Ethel saw through the act. Sure, Elsa may have cared about Ma Petite, but Ethel was right. It was a show, a show that even Elsa convinced herself to believe. The relationship between the two women is definitely…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Test of Strength"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Test of Strength” Review

I do not understand Dot’s reason for creating an out for Elsa. On one hand, they’ve in a way assured that they have something to hold over Elsa. Dot surely must realize that Elsa would never let that stand. All that has been done is given Elsa an out without tarnishing her name even further.…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Bullseye"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Bullseye” Review

Elsa will have no more talk of the twins. She throws her fits so she doesn’t have to hear of them or spoil her party, even though clearly everyone is concerned by their leaving. Elsa is he boss and she will have nothing less than all the attention on her. It’s her party and she’ll…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Pink Cupcakes"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Pink Cupcakes” Review

The best thing about this episode was when Gloria discovered dead in the dining room. As soon as she saw it and heard the lame excuse about an intruder come out of Dandy’s mouth she turned on him. Without hesitation she knew that Dandy was the one to have murdered Dora. it was quite fitting…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Edward Mordrake Part 2"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Edward Mordrake Part 2” Review

Edward Mordrake made is rounds speaking to each of the sad souls of the show. With each person he was looking for the one who would complement his sad menagerie the best. We got to learn a bit of each of their back stories which was rather enjoyable as often smaller characters don’t get much…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Edward Mordrake"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Edward Mordrake” Review

We were introduced to Maggie Esmerelda and Stanley, who were sellers to a freak museum. Unfortunately, their Sasquatch par was deemed a fake so they were pointed to some places to get more materials. That is what brings them to Jupiter and Elsa’s family. Considering we know they want freak parts, we know it’s only…

American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Massacres and Matinees"

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Massacres and Matinees” Review

The freaks of Jupiter are sticking together no matter what, even as everyone else wants them out of their town. With the cop missing, detectives informed the freaks that there would be no show as there is a curfew going into effect. The death of the cop is truly an issue, but one that Jimmy…

American Horror Story: Freak Show

American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Monsters Among Us” Review (Season Premiere)

Can I say, that is one bold and stupid milk man. When you find a woman dead in a strangers house, it isn’t normal to not call 911 and instead explore the house with a rolling pin. Nevertheless, it set the tone, things are both murderous and not normal. I am not afraid of clowns.…
