The season's plot is intentionally thin. ... There are hints of cleverness in the dialogue, but just hints. It's only in the Night Stalker stuff, perhaps fodder for a Quentin Tarantino-esque rewrite of history, that I got much hope for anything fresh.

This season had everything to be stupid, but it was one of the most specials of the show. The way Ryan used a 80s formula worked so incredibly with the aesthetic of the epoch and all it's references. The rising, transformation and changes suffered by the characters got me surprised and satisfied at the same time, and this isn't about the narrative, it's about the drama construction behind. I couldn't've imagine that I'll be so involved with the story. There's so many plot twists and a emotional ending for a bloody season. It's from far one of best points of the whole show. Ryan was a genius and insightful.

SEASON 9
I'm not a fan of the slasher genre - but, I'll try to keep my review as objective as I can. The acting and technicals of the 9th season of American Horror Story are good. This season is premised on a 1980s period recreation and I found it to be quite accurate in that respect and that was somewhat interesting. The slasher genre tropes were accurate and well done. Given its objective I would say that season 9 is artistically successful within that context. If you like slasher video I would think you would enjoy season 9 of AHS.
Regardless, I can't bring myself to rate season 9 higher than 6 and I really couldn't make myself watch more that 1 and one half episodes - but, again - I don't enjoy watching slashers and that is just my point of view and doesn't necessarily mean others might not enjoy it.

SEASON 9
The entire 9th season feels like you're watching one of those parody movies like Scary Movie where they make fun of the horror genre. Only this show isn't played for laughs but still feels like it.
There's some plot twists and curves throughout the season, there's actually so many of them that again it makes you think you're watching a parody, however to be fair the show does make you want to know how it all ends. But even the final episode is a bit of a letdown. Like most of the season really.

SEASON 9
A slight improvement from Apocalypse, but AHS is clearly running on fumes. AHS 1984 never rose beyond it's campy origins. Acting was so stilted and the scenes so cliche and repetitive that you wondered how anyone could keep a straight face. The last episode had potential but in the end sentimental schmaltz won out, leading me to wonder what the hell was the point of all this mess.
