American Horror Story - Freak Show

Freak Show ist jedoch die bisher beste Staffel von allen. Also ja, wir machen weiter. Elsa Mars als Weimaraner Snuff-Pornostar for President! Außerdem hätten sie die Vorgängerstaffel nicht als Prequel drehen müssen, sie hätten einfach diese perfekte Staffel machen können und fertig :D Jemand sollte wirklich mal The Elsa Mars Hour drehen, dann wird alles so sein, wie es sein soll. In the land of Gods and Monsters / I was an angel / Living in the garden of evil / Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed / Shining like a fiery beacon. (23.10.2015)

I’ve always had a problem with the American Horror Story series, but since each season is built on a different premise, after every season, I endlessly keep giving the show another chance to impress me. One season has already managed to do that, so why couldn’t another one achieve that as well? However, my problem with this season was that the TV show Carnivale by HBO a couple of years ago was a lot more intense. This was a mere second brew that once again reduced the best that the world of freaky circus folks has to offer. But Jessica Lange sure had a blast with this one and at least she showed us all what a good singer she is. But that’s the only positive thing about this season. (07.03.2017)

Bowing before a falling curtain is atmospheric to the last wagon, but still leaves a feeling of unnecessary disappointment. The cast is even more star-studded, the plot twists more intensified, and some characters more twisted, but the storyline feels like a dispute between five screenwriters. The main theme is neither the contrast between human monsters and loathsome people, nor Jimmy's conflict with Dandy, nor even Elsa's desire for fame. American Horror Story – Freak Show is more of an exhibition of great guests with sometimes incomprehensible psychology of the main characters and strange relationships and emotions between them. Above all, this wandering addition to the American Horror Story library is poorly tied together. This is a circus where Ryan Murphy didn't really put his heart into it. (19.04.2015)
