Series one is brilliant while series two somehow manages to improve on this and is sublime. We're part way through the third series now and although it started off fairly slowly, it's now reached the stage where I can't wait for the next episode. The makers of AHS deserve to be applauded for their decision to use the same actors in all three seasons playing completely different roles and characters. It seems strange at first, but it really works.

Excellent Series as a Whole. I thought the Seasons 1 and 2 were addictive. Season 3 not as Much. Season 4 The Travelling Circus was Excellent in parts but Waned in Some Episodes. On Season 5 like The Timeless Art Deco looks like its Going to pay Homage to The Shining with Realistic Eeriness and a Very Sinister Underbelly.Lady Gaga a great Addition to the Cast. Im only 1 Episode in but so far so Good.
