FX's American Horror Story: Cult After-Show

AHS Cult really rides heavily on the emotions that occurred in people during)after the 2016 presidential election. I found this season really lacking any sort of real drama, and it failed to do anything new or outside of the box within the AHS realm, leaning towards predictable. I honestly had a very hard time sitting myself down and finishing it. The political commentary is very heavy in this season, so if that's not your thing you may want to skip it altogether, though it tends to poke fun at the right and the left at different times. I think the writers tried to be as neutral about it as possible. This season is kind of ruined in a way because it tried to be too edgy with this. There are moments of tension and excitement peppered in, but they are too far and few between for me to really recommend this season at all.

For a lot of people this season was the worst, but please just watch the rates ... people rates the season four as one of the best when it was one of the worst. Probably wrote by teenagers that usually watch shows like Riverdale, teenwolf etc.

True cinephiles knows that the second one and the seventh is the best, especially the seven. It's a true masterpiece in this series and the only one with the second that I could watch entirely. Actor's are at their top. Sarah Paulson is captivating and Evan Peter burst the screen on every scenes he plays. So much that he is hateful and detestable.

The storyline and plot twist are really good, nothing compared to the others seasons.

Go watch it if you truly love cinema, avoid it if you usually like horrible show like teenwolf, Riverdale etc..

Good start, but then it swirled down the drain. The beginning was truly terrifying, with a nice supernatural bent to it, but then it spiraled into an over-the-top fantasy that was not only not believable, but poorly acted as well. I enjoyed Evan Peter's' portrayals in all the previous series, but NOT this one. My "suspension of believe" abilities fall far short of what's necessary to swallow this series. It's like the first half dozen episodes were directed by one person, and the last bit by someone else. Or perhaps different writers. Yes, Trump -or Hitler - is a template for the possibilities, but this story is no more than a cartoon of the real life terrors that we could face in the near future.

Personally i think that Cult was one of the best seasons of American Horror Story. I really like the lore, especially the plot and political part. Acting was really good. Sara Paulson and Evan Peters usually plays the main characters in AHS but i feel like they did it better in Cult. Maybe its just character they played, wchich were writed really good by the way. Ryan Murphy did a great job with this season. As i said earlier Script was really good. Peoples from effectes did a great job as well. So i think that this season of AHS is very great season and i would really recommend it for every horror fan.

It appears, and I agree to some extent, that the obvious references to Trump's divisiveness would be upsetting to some especially since this series is suppose to be entertaining fantasy and not politicized social commentary. The writer's could have been "meaner" to our President by referencing his, what was then, avoidance of mandatory Viet Nam military service w/plantar fasciitis which was a common upper white middle class avoidance tactic then & is primarily based on a person's honest self description. (I've had it twice, all it does is bother you when you first wake up then you can run miles or play bball for hours - no problem),. Or his tax avoidance, or his dad bankrolling his land flipping, or his treatment of much much younger females.

Anyway, the central plot theme was his emboldening the far active right to act upon their beliefs by mobilizing some of our innate fears - purpose was controlling the political future. Thus, it was not an accident that "clowns" were chosen as the fear carriers. Another, related, politicized theme was female degradation illustrated w/these quotes on whether they "can win an argument w/their husband"; "won't be catcalled"; "bosses won't talk about their tits"; "women can't lead"; "can be outsmarted & out muscled"; "should do is shut up"; "know their place & make a goddamn sandwich".
