AHS: NYC has all the Murphy-esque signatures, and more: It's sexy, it's salacious, and it's subversive—not least because of the era and the community in which it's set. Like most seasons of this show, NYC starts strong, though it's difficult at this point to say exactly what's going on.
“American Horror Story” has hardly been known for its restraint, which made the relative lack of bloody excess in these episodes notable, with less emphasis on the horror than the serial-killer aspect.
Season 11 of "American Horror Story" takes a bold and impactful approach by incorporating a poignant theme into its narrative fabric - the looming monster of the calm before a life-altering revelation. In this season, the suspense doesn't just stem from the supernatural or the macabre, but from the quiet dread that envelopes characters knowing/ not knowing that they are dying from HIV. The show beautifully captures the emotional turmoil and uncertainty. This sensitive topic is woven into the plot with grace and respect, creating a unique blend of horror, empathy, and social **** cast, as always, delivers stellar performances, capturing the nuances of fear, denial, and acceptance. This fresh thematic direction adds depth and gravitas to the series, demonstrating once again the versatility and courage of "American Horror Story" in exploring uncharted territories within the horror genre. Season 11, thus, stands out not only for its storytelling prowess but also for its ability to evoke reflection and empathy amidst the suspense and fear.
This season starts a bit slow , but if you watch it , you'll be rewarded when episode 5 and 6 comes in , i really think we need to wait for the season to finish to be able to make a proper review, but i'm invested in it , it's not as bad as Roanoke, not as good imho of Red Tide which i really liked , but i think we should give them a chance until the season's end.
The cinematography is excellent, the soundtrack is evocative, the central metaphor is apt, and the want to do something new is commendable. Yet somehow it doesn't quite add up. As always it feels way too long. And the shift from horror to crime drama with a splash of horror is IMHO unsatisfying. The ending was well done, but it felt we had to wade through a lot to get there.
Ryan Murphy seems to be at his most prolific age, but 'American Horror Story' should've stopped at least 5 seasons ago. 'NYC' has all his classic tropes, but it's now tiring and derivative. Although this looks better than the last three seasons, the impact it had at the beginning is long gone. Let's see how this turns out.
It's bad. It's boring and terribly paced but also it's just weird to have a whole story dedicated to brutally murdering **** men, especially considering the current cultural landscape.
