You could say there's a certain really black comedy to some events. Calling it a comedy/drama is taking it a little far.
'Beneath You'
The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
HORROR IS RIGHT IN THE NAME.
They tried calling it American Comedy/Drama Story but it didn't test well.
I'd love to see a trailer cut like a buddy comedy, though.
Jessica Lange gets off some good zingers and Kathy Bates' Madame is good for a chuckle at her reactions to waking up in the modern, less racist than slavery times world of New Orleans, but to try to in any way spin this show as a comedy is a stretch.
It's funny 'cause it's horrifying...yeah, no.
Oh, shit is going to get real now.
Good god, I love this show. And the HOUSE. I want that house.
This show, I can't even. Hank, WTF? And Spaulding! It's too much -- the dolls, and the self-mutilation!, and the Madison doll! And then someone burned Cordelia's eyes out and the DEAD rose! (Not to mention poor Queenie.)
I think missing!Kyle is the least intriguing -- I bet he shambled back to Misty.
That is a healthy heaping of rape being served up. Three in the first four episodes. Wow.
This show continues to intrigue and be all kinds of fucked up. And I admit that I shouted out loud "Beverly Leslie!" Makes sense that he would be a warlock.
I will have to catch up on AH. But, yeah my 91 year old Mom can get a lot of stuff. But I would never expect her to enjoy AH.
No, I called out a pretty loud "NO, Mom" as soon as I heard that nurse recommending AHS to Mom. She was fine with me steering her away from it -- she's open to a lot of things, but if she pushes too far over the edge she gets nightmares. She trusts my judgment, and then we discussed some of the broader aspects (horror! rape! in your face, over the top!) so I don't think she'll be pulling it up on On Demand when I'm not around.
