I watched the whole first series solely because I have a little bit of a crush on Friday Night Lights's's Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) and her fabulous hair.
It has a lot going for it, but even when one accepts that it wears its comic book horror-schlock proudly on it's sleeve, I still had a little bit of an issue with the plausibility of it all. Too many well worn horror tropes for my liking too. Bonkers.

Sometimes one has to bail out early after considering the time investment a show like this demands.

I started to watch the first season when it originally aired, but for some reason I can't remember, I didn't stick with it. I started up again with S2, and it was crazy, just overloaded with all kinds of tropes of horror and evil as well as taboos from the early 1960s, when it was set. I don't usually watch horror much, either, but for some reason the combination of all the clichés was compelling. Oh, yeah, and a whole lot of scenery chewing was the icing on the cake.

It's tradition that I come to this kind of thing seven years too late (when 'AHS' Series One came out), but last night I watched the first three episodes of S1, at the behest of my youngest, who's a long term fan. I used to watch a lot of schlock horror films as a teenager, so it's inevitable that certain clichés and tension scenarios repeat themselves, no matter how talented the producers are. But I was glued to this, and only fatigue stopped me watching the next nine episodes. As for plausibility - come on, everyone hangs their disbelief on a meat hook when they watch this stuff.
Can't remember when I gave up on Nashville - I think I watched the first two series, which is about my standard before they run out of plots. So I'm pleased there's a new set-up with every new AHS series.
