This episode raised so many questions! Go to Full Review Halle Kiefer Rolling Stone 08/30/2016
As the crematorium fire rages, Arden, um, climbs on top of her carcass and burns himself alive. That was a pretty great moment, you guys... I feel happy just knowing it happened. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 08/29/2016

I've started to get into the rhythm of this odd, weirdly rewarding season of television, to figure out the way that it seems to build to a season finale every other episode, then retreat into downtime. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/19/2018
What a fun episode; a strong and memorable return after the holiday hiatus, and one that was fairly tightly scripted, all things considered (like that this is American Horror Story). Go to Full Review Tess Lynch Grantland 08/30/2016
Just when you think American Horror Story: Asylum can't possibly get more Baroque, it shimmies up a gilded spire and tosses a zillion putti at your head until you beg for mercy. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 08/30/2016
For all its conflicts, 'The Name Game' isn't nearly as crazy as some episodes that have come before it, but mainly that's because it's still picking up the pieces after the Lee Emerson (Ian McShane) holiday disaster at Briarcliff. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
