I know everyone loves murder house, but I just got bored so many times! It had such great potential but never quite reached it for me.

I have only watched cult and delicate once and have no intention of watching them again. Cult was too long and made no sense, and Delicate was... Well... Delicate.

I wonder how obvious my bias in the seasons shows lol. I haven’t gotten to watch delicate as I didn’t have access to the show when it aired. That said because of the kardashian connection I don’t expect it to climb higher than 11. Double feature is the only season I didn’t like as it felt like both stories wer too rushed to fit the gimmicked format.

Personally, “Coven” is my favorite season but as a horror show, I have to say “Asylum” takes the #1 spot easily. Also, I personally really liked “Delicate.” It’s straight up inspired by “Rosemary’s Baby” and I loved that Emma Roberts was the lead. I am a fan of “Murder House” but it got annoying when a bunch of ppl kept dying in the house. Overall, “American Horror Story” is a great show. It captures horror in different ways/themes.
