The first 2 seasons were good and it was camply entertaining untill Apocalypse… then…
No sis I'm a Cult truther as well. Binged it so I imagine that had something to do with it but I loved the atmosphere and how they played with paranoia.

I thought Cult kind of went off the rails by the end (as most of his seasons do), but I actually thought Cult was fairly decent at the time. My biggest issue with it was that it just felt too soon after the election. Like, there wasn't an ounce of fun watching it, I just felt dread and misery - so it was hard to watch weekly, to be honest. Definitely not the worst of the bunch. (Significantly better than Hotel, 1984, NYC, the second half of Double Feature, Delicate, and the absolute travesty that was Apocalypse.)

Cult was decent. It was better than everything that came after.
Well, maybe not NYC cause that kept me intrigued, until we got what we got in the end.

When Kim Kardashian is the best part of the season, you know there is a problem. I didn't finish it though.
Cult is where the wheels completely fell off for me. It had some strong performances, a great creepy atmosphere early on, and an interesting setup, but it revealed itself to be ridiculously lazy and without an actual viewpoint. The way it skipped major events (like how the titular cult was actually formed dd) in favor of doing random flashbacks about past cults... it completely crumbled by the midway point. Apocalypse, then, was genuinely embarrassing. It had completely become a parody of itself at that point; too campy, too self-referential, and genuinely lacking anything even resembling a plot. I mean...
1984 was when I properly checked out, and I haven't completed a season since (though I keep trying!) I enjoyed the first half of Double Feature and I gave both NYC and Delicate a shot, but it just feels like a completely different show now. Which would be fine if the show was good. But it just isn't.
There's talk of Sarah and Evan both returning for the next season, but the problem is out of their hands. Ryan needs to bring a properly great, young, visionary horror writer onboard and let them take the reigns a bit with a fleshed-out storyline. But I don't think that will happen.

I know some people defended this season and even enjoyed it but that season was truly the worst of the fucking worst.
“I used that awful show temporarily to reignite my career, you stupid slut”
Never change, Jessica… sometimes I forget that as a model she shared an apartment with her BFFs Grace Jones and Jerry Hall - moments like these remind me!
As she should. She is too incredible to want to be part of this shite.
I’m seeing her at a Q&A for her new film tonight and an “In Conversation” event tomorrow. I can’t wait for her to crack at the first fag to ask a question about AHS.
