Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights. Denis O'Hare from True Blood. Jessica freakin Lange from too many things to mention. Dylan McDermott from The Practice, and my dreams. These are just some of the amazing cast members that star in my Wednesday must-watch: American Horror Story (10/9c on FX).
It's not often a show like this comes along - I think. I don't know a heck of a lot about this show, except that a family moves from Boston to Los Angeles to get away from their past, just to find themselves in a new situation that doesn't exactly seem awesome. At least that's the vibe I get from the suspense-filled promos filled with quick cutaways that remind me of a horror movie trailer. Regardless, American Horror Story has me intrigued. Want a sneak peek? You can watch the first 5 minutes of the show here.
I'm excited. I'm scared. I'll probably watch with the light on and a phone nearby in case I need to call for help. And I'll definitely be saving Happy Endings or Modern Family to watch afterwards to make sure I'm in a laughing mood rather than a panic attack mood before bed. Here's hoping Cam's bike shorts make a cameo.
I have to be honest, the previews for this one looked a little weak. Plus, I can't seem to wrap my head about Connie Britton going from the coach's wife to being in a weird FX horror TV show.
ReplyDeleteHorror is best suited as a movie in my opinion. That way you're in the mood for it, it has a single plot and when it is done, it's done. Having it on TV every week? It will probably get old and lose a little bit of the thrill factor. Not to mention there probably won't be much of an audience.
Hey, I've been wrong before (a lot) but I just don't see this one doing that well. At least it is on FX where even with less than 2 million viewers it will be able to survive.
