Sick of reality shows and plot-less TV dramas? Well have no fear, actually, maybe have a lot of fear, because Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the guys behind Glee (yes, the happy-go-lucky Glee) have created and produced one of the most groundbreaking shows on television. American Horror Story is a horror-drama filled with infidelity, ghosts, the criminally insane, and possessions.
American Horror Story is the best show on television. Why?
- It always keeps you on the edge of your seat. Honestly…I’ve fallen off my couch when something popped out.
- Girls, this is a show that your boyfriend will actually watch with you.
- It combines murders, nuns, and aliens, and it does it well. That’s practically unheard of.
- They have some unbelievable make-up artists. One of the most extraordinary examples is of actress Naomi Grossman and her character, Pepper. We kid you not, that is the same person.
- It has a very attractive cast. Not only is Channing Tatum’s wife one of the show’s stars, one of the hottest men in music, Adam Levine, plays her love interest. Plus, Evan Peters returns from the first installment of AHS as a possible serial killer (don’t worry, he’s still super attractive) and Zachary Quinto plays the show’s relatively sane psychiatrist.
- The nuns are corrupted. Where else can you see that?!
- The doctor does some insane medical operations. This is not you’re basic Grey’s Anatomy episode.
- The back-stories behind the asylum patients are so unpredictable. You are always left guessing and completely surprised.
