[Editorial] A Look Back At “American Horror Story: Asylum”!

This year’s season of American Horror Story has finally arrived at an ending, and what a wild ride it’s been. Unlike season one, which often felt like it was being written by a deeply stupid child, American Horror Story: Asylum offered a more thought-out story with the added weight of minor themes and emotional resonance, as though it had been written by a deeply stupid teenager. It was a better show. Maybe a less accidentally entertaining show, but a better show all the same.

Now all we can do is shift through the bones of American Horror Story: Asylum and see what we turn up. Warning: None of this will make sense to those who have not seen the show, and only 30% will make sense to those who have. READ MORE
