Cult is a condemnation of the truly “deplorable” among us as well as a witty skewering of liberal correctness run amok. Read full review

This show is trying to do a lot. Some may find that approach excessive and the idea of Grand-Guignol–ing what’s happening in our country a little crass, especially since the show takes some pretty pointed jabs at progressives. Others, especially those well-versed in the series’ over-the-top sensibility and drily snarky humor, will dig into it all with complete relish ... The whole cast is terrific, but the series is (no surprise) a real showcase for Paulson, who’s a bundle of jangled nerves and teary-eyed fear. Read full review

The seventh season--subtitled “Cult”--is among the most smartly written and addictive. Read full review

You’ll have to sit through a few lackluster episodes before American Horror Story: Cult becomes truly enjoyable, but if you’re a fan of the show, it’ll be worth it. Seeming to have found itself with episode four, it’ll certainly be exciting to see if the season can continue its upward trend from here. Read full review

It’s exhausting to watch Ally put through the wringer and yet also predictable about how she will emerge from the trial. Read full review

Every time American Horror Story attempts to imbue real, pressing fear into these statements, in the way that good horror often can--think of this year’s Get Out, for example--it also gets ... well, dumb, in a way I’m not certain the show realizes. Read full review

Even if you buy into Ally as an ignorant figure from 2016, “AHS” feels dated, and it surely doesn’t make for compelling TV. For horror fans uncaring of political relevance or accurate representation, it should be noted that American Horror Story: Cult is also quite boring. ... The politics of fear may work, but the twisted logic in this futile exercise falls apart quickly. Read full review

Season 7 is maybe the best season so far for me.
I found it funny, it got lots of humor/irony, twists in the story and is very watchable.
Also I liked it's reality and it's setting in the present time. It's a American Horror Story. Thumbs up for the makers/writers/producers to give aSeason 7 is maybe the best season so far for me.

Nothing is more scary than Trump and his psychotic followers. A very timely topic that is sure to upset Trump's army of snowflakes. Great performances all around. Another solid season.

Hard to review after the first episode... But the first episode was definitely the best premiere since season 4. It also did a surprisingly good job of making fun of both extreme liberals and "alt-righters" pretty equally which was surprising.

It also did a surprisingly good job of making fun of both extreme liberals and "alt-righters" pretty equally which was surprising.

I'm definitely intrigued to see where this season goes and have much higher hopes now than when the plot was announced.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This season of AHS is AWFUL!! There is nothing but a bunch of whiny and crying by the female leads without any genuine horror. Gratuitous shock value such as blowing up a guinea pig in a microwave is beyond cliched and pathetic. And the whole concept of the election being a protagonist for the "cult," with all of the political buzz words being hammered into every episode is just bad, hack writing. I have always loved AHS - but maybe it is time to pull the plug on this hot mess.… Expand

I was hoping this one was going to be good after Roanoke was little more than okay... but this...omg completly and totally ridiculous political overtones. Ridiculous plot. Unlikeable characters. The only sexual scenes in the whole series are gay or lesbian. I'm not saying that I have a problem with being gay or being lesbian it's just one example of how completely ridiculously political this season is. So awful... can't we go back to the supernatural horror and leave the writers/ hollywoods political views out of AHS? I seriously that it was satire at first with the complete over reactions to the voting but no, it was for real... and Lena Dunhams playing this Valerie character seriously was so incredibly stomach turning... Just so awful… Expand

This entire show is one big joke. The first season was pretty stupid, did not even get past 4 episodes.

Childish & obnoxious political message makes it unwatchable. Completely out of touch and unfortunately a now typical example of the lazy story-telling employed by a lot of shows and movies in order to appeal to an equally out of touch section of society that unironically calls itself 'theChildish & obnoxious political message makes it unwatchable.
