The theme of the twelfth season isn't particularly fresh within the American Horror Story universe. Though similar to the first season and the plot of Season 1, Episode 5, it lacks the climactic intensity of the former and the succinctness of the latter. It's a struggle to get through the first 5 episodes; the plot drags, there's too much filler, and the use of the "protagonist can see/hear things that others can't" trope, while understandable, is excessively employed in every single episode to extend the runtime. The first 5 episodes could have been easily condensed into 3. I'm reluctantly giving it six stars after so many years of watching AHS, but it probably only deserves two stars.

The story, the characters and the atmosphere were all perfect in the first few seasons of American Horror Story. Soon after that, it feels like they have completely given up on coming up with good scripts. At least the characters are still quite charming in their acting. The latest season has really nothing to write home about besides the beautiful aesthetics. Now they can’t just let Emma Roberts carry this entire season, can they?

The first episode is pretty mediocre and it strays away from the usual narrative style of the series. With the foreshadowing from various signs and the different tones of mood, the overall design of the story is already out of the dark. As a dark themed show, it is neither dark nor scary. I have a feeling that it will become another story of cheating and conspiracy theories. I gotta mention that the husband character is intriguing. Hopefully the characters that are going to be introduced later on in the show will bring the show back to life. (btw I kinda want to see Emma give birth to a spider baby).

The first episode is too bland. The story does indeed remind viewers of Rosemary's Baby and some other conspiracy theories. Many familiar actors have left the show, and I'm still gonna watch it even if it goes downhill, because I'm a fan of this IP. I hope that even if they can't nail the plot, they could at least make the show scarier (which is probably unlikely, too). The two latest episodes are becoming such drags... I'm literally tired of these unnecessary mysteries and the slow pacing.

Season 9

I have no idea why this is still on. No show should last longer than 5 seasons, after that they just start repeating plots and it’s so annoying.

Many stories

What I like the most about this show is that, due to its anthology structure, they can create characters and plots using all kinds of American mythology. My favorite season is the second one, the setting is an asylum, a place famous in the US for being haunted.

American Horror Story se resume en una antología única de morbo y horror, donde cada nueva historia resulta más inquietante que la anterior.

Pensada como entregas separadas pero unidas por un multiverso sanguinario, la trama nos lleva por los pasadizos oscuros de la mente humana. También se permite recrear hechos verídicos y presentar personajes reales con el terrorífico entramado que rodea la historia. Visualmente presenta innovaciones de alta calidad.

Con un esquema narrativo que combina los tópicos más universales del terror, esta selección de relatos conforma una pintura estilística que nos lleva por todas y cada una de las cavernas del horror histórico.

Una serie genial de horror psicológico. La AMO

O tema da 12ª temporada não é particularmente novo no universo American Horror Story. Embora semelhante à primeira, falta a intensidade climática. É uma luta passar pelos primeiros 5 episódios; a trama se arrasta, com muita encheção de linguiça e clichês. Esses 5 poderiam ter sido facilmente condensados ​​em 3. Eu deveria considerar uma nota maior depois de tantos anos assistindo AHS, mas provavelmente não seria merecido.

El tema de la duodécima temporada no es particularmente nuevo dentro del universo de American Horror Story. Aunque es similar a la primera temporada y a la trama del quinto episodio de la primera temporada, carece de la intensidad climática de la primera y de la concisión del segundo. Es una lucha superar los primeros 5 episodios; la trama se prolonga, hay demasiado relleno y el uso del tropo "el protagonista puede ver/oír cosas que otros no pueden", aunque es comprensible, se emplea excesivamente en cada episodio para extender la duración. Los primeros 5 episodios podrían haberse condensado fácilmente en 3. De mala gana le doy seis estrellas después de tantos años de ver la franquicia, pero probablemente solo merezca dos estrellas.

A história, os personagens e a atmosfera eram perfeitos nas primeiras temporadas. Depois disso, parece que desistiram completamente de criar bons roteiros; pelo menos os personagens ainda são charmosos. A última temporada não tem nada de bom além da bela estética; eles não podem simplesmente deixar Emma Roberts carregar a série inteira, né?
