Yes. Though I would totally watch the Nan and Papa Legba Show.

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!
I'm going as Myrtle Snow for Halloween. Done been decided. Have all year to pick up costume elements! (Must find crimping iron!)
Now having watched I have to admit one of the better episodes in what has NOT been a good season. The essay PC linked above pretty much nails the season. I do note that the afterlife is shown as just as unfair as the mortal coil. Misty gets to suffer in hell eternally. Poquito is tortured eternally to make life miserable for her Mother. Serial killer Axeman gets to live in his personal heaven because that is Fiona's personal hell. Makes me wonder what Nan's fate is: did she end up in her personal hell? Also does anyone besides me think Spalding "helped" Kyle dispose of Madison's body because he wants to use it as a doll again. Spalding seems to really be enjoying life as a ghost.
I have not watched anything but season 1, but I find it interesting that this season was so disliked here, but seems to be the most popular season to a larger viewing audience. More press if nothing else. AM I wrong?
Was it the most popular? I thought S2 was very popular as well?
I was going by what I saw posted on FB and saw in the limited entertainment media I view. NOT REAL DATA, but casual observation.
It's gotten the highest ratings out of the three seasons. Like, ratings so high it's just behind Breaking Bad and Walking Dead when it comes to cable series.
It was a more fun season, I guess -- it was contemporary, rather than set in a different time period, and it was a lot less gloomy than S1, with all the depression and cheating and miscarriage and whatever.
I guess a lot of viewers just glossed over the LaLaurie storyline?
Highest ratings seems pretty clear.
I came for Angela Bassett. I had never watched even one episode of AHS prior to this season. So, I imagine that lots of folks maybe came for Angela or Kathy Bates or because New Orleans and witches sounded more fun than insane asylums or creepy houses. And honestly, through the first five or six episodes, I was having a lot of fun with this show. It was ridiculous and the racial and gender politics were...problematic. But the actresses were tearing it down and it was funny and shocking and scary and touching in turn. I can see how and why it would've gathered a big audience. By the time it all fell apart, I was in for a penny, in for a pound.
I'll never watch it again, though. Even though Angela, KB and Jessica Lange are all coming back, right? Not even for those ladies.
