I started watching this last night, my first impulse was "yay" when I saw the previews, but then I started watching the show and I was like "oh no meh touching drama" but then it kind of twisted again, and I think it's probably like a less-weird Twin Peaks, in that central characters include police officers, histrionic women, and the rest of a small town.
Will watch again, but not 100% sure about this show yet.
I also give American Horror Story four out of five stars. It's great for what it is, I watched every episode in the first season and would watch the second, but I'm honestly not as impressed with American Horror Story as I was with a show like Twin Peaks
Nothing touches it, and I really hate that whole modern-upper-middle-class-family-touching-drama vibe, it's too bland for me. American Horror Story wasn't even really scary, just spooky, but I have higher hopes for the second season since it was set in the 1960's in an asylum instead of in some yuppie family's life.
