Once you get past the dead babies, nosy neighbors, freaky sex and psychotic ghosts, L.A. would still be a pretty shitty place to live. FX's new original series American Horror Story serves up a large dose of creativity, suspense, drama and flashy horror. While FX has compiled a choice set of actors to play out this psycho-drama for our viewing pleasure, Jessica Lange really shines with her cold and sinister intentions towards Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott) and his family, all the while wearing the facade of a friendly, if overly nosy, neighbor. Two episodes in and I can already number myself among the fans of this new show. I really enjoyed Nip/Tuck, even though the series became overwhelmingly dramatic towards the end, and you can definitely feel the same style in AHS. McDermott is back with all his matinee idol intensity, still looking exactly the same as he did 10+ years ago. I swear, that man doesn't age. I'm looking forward to being puzzled moreso as the series continues, unless they start dropping the ball on the writing. The best word I can use to describe the show is "Freaky". Give it a watch and you'll see what I mean.-Keredain-
