Viewed: Season 10

Admittedly, I've been losing interest in American Horror Story for several years now, and the seasons have always been decidedly hit and miss, though the previous season - 1984 - was a standout. Season 10, or Double Feature, is arguably the worst season so far, and it became something of a chore to get through. The first few episodes are strong enough and feel like good old-fashioned AHS, but from the sixth episode onwards, it's a downwards spiral. The concluding episode for the first story is a disaster, and the second story is boring beyond all belief. I get what the intentions were, as the second story is a '50s-inspired aliens B-movie, but the execution is frankly disastrous and I only kept watching because my housemate was into it. Honestly, I kept hoping that she'd forget it was on and we'd never speak of it again.
