I’d say she’s both. Tbh, most Arrowverse shows have solid casts, but Benoist really rose above most others there. When she and Chyler Leigh are in a scene together, it's just magic, really. The Crisis crossover also showed that Benoist really brings out the best in her co-stars, it was great to see. 

Agreed. Despite the commendable work that everyone does here, they feel like the people they’re portraying only in certain parts. Never completely. But that’s really not too surprising when looking back at People vs OJ. I haven’t watched Versace, so I can’t say anything about that.

Agreed, it was very standard fare for a while, but I really do think its twists and reveals and the sheer camp it becomes really make up for it. If anything it should have been more campy. I don’t think we’ve seen something like this for a while and while some of that can be attributed to nostalgia, it’s still a good

I feel like Arrival was just as long as it needed to be, in order to make the third act’s significant beats feel earned and not rushed. I’m biased here, mind you, since it’s really my favourite Villeneuve movie and up there with my very favourite sci-fi media.

Hard agree on Keri Russell and Sandra Oh. For the latter, I think her time is coming soon, considering how much more things she’s been doing after leaving Grey’s. I also really admire her skill in navigating the acting world and it’s awesome that she has that rock solid credibility to really choose what she wants to

As do I, my friend.

I’m with you. Foy was simply sublime in both of her Crown seasons, but goddamn it Keri acted her ass off in that final season. The final season as a whole was pitch perfect, but man it was really Elizabeth as a character who just stood out from the rest. Russell was in a league of her own that year and I will never

She was the goddamn powerhouse MVP of the whole show

I’m very glad that someone shares the love for Roanoke as much as I do. My ranking is the same for Asylum and Roanoke, except Coven would still be in third place, purely because of how much fun it was having. Then it becomes muddled after that for me.

Frankly, this episode really deserves that F grade, it just plain sucked. I especially agree with your first two paragraphs, cause your thoughts are exactly the ones I had. The looming question being: “WHY?! This is an anthology series, it makes absolutely no bloody sense to have THREE of them in the Murder House.” I

Oh no no, that’s purely about them in the context of AHS, not the genre in general. Those two things have been a part of horror stuff as far as I can remember hah. In Murphy’s case, I mainly thought about what Murder House did with all of its ghosts and where he could have drawn inspiration from. With King, I was once

It’s a very good line-up of alums, pretty much every personal favourite of mine is returning. Aaaaand they snagged Neal McDonough for “Death Valley” so hell yes I’m excited.

Oh absolutely, King’s adaptations have been very frequent recently, some better than others. But hey, as long as new creatives get to do stuff, I’m here for them.

So I’m late as hell to this, but man this was trying so hard to be a modern day Rosemary’s Baby with quirky “I’m not like other demon baby horror movies” twists. I was half expecting Ba’al and Billie Lourd to just turn to the camera and wink at the audience while doing it.

Honestly, this has me wildly interested. Like you said, it has an eerily similar feel to Alan Wake and anything Stephen King, but it looks really solid. It also seems to be just the right amount of classic AHS, meaning the camp and the bonkers nature of the whole thing are present (yes to Frances Conroy in more

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. 

I mostly agree here. Rick’s movies are taking ages (if they ever get done at all) and they’re pretty necessary pieces of the puzzle. Cause why even take Rick to the CRM if you’re not gonna do anything with it and have the mystery explored much further somewhere else (World Beyond, a bit in Fear).

Forgot to add this, cause Kinja doesn't let you edit comments? : Sexy Beasts looks downright horrifying and flat out bad. FBoy Island is like..... They’re not even trying anymore.

It seems that whenever these types of dating shows try to steer away from reinforcing awful stereotypes and idolizing vanity and shallowness, they inadvertently seem to double down on those things instead.

I’m pretty late to this, but as others have said, Faunts really was a very good choice for ME. It helped set the series apart from others that were similar. That sort of rock worked just great and I wish there were more of it in the soundtrack itself.
