"American Horror Story" was created by the co-creators of "Glee," but the shows have little in common besides that. The show revolves around the Harmons, a family of three, who move from Boston to Los Angeles in order to reconcile past anguish. What the Harmons don't know is that the house they've moved into is haunted. But it's not haunted by Casperesque friendly ghosts -- it's haunted by demonic creatures. The creatures have a history of not only spooking the house's residents but also devouring them. After living in this house, family patriarch and psychiatrist, Ben, may need a shrink of his own.

Critics Consensus

A noteworthy ensemble cast combined with creepy storytelling and campy, outrageous thrills make American Horror Story: Coven a potently structured fright-fest.

The sheer number of amazing actors who've joined up with creator Ryan Murphy's repertory company is reason enough to watch. Go to Full Review Alison Herman Flavorwire 08/10/2017
But unlike the series' first two iterations, Murder House and Asylum, Coven has finally figured out a way to incorporate feminism convincingly into the DNA of American Horror Story. Go to Full Review Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club 02/03/2014

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's shows are presented as serial narratives, but these two are not storytellers. Go to Full Review Cameron Ferguson Black Girl Nerds 06/26/2018
Seeing [Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett] cat it out on screen in their various banters was something to live for. Go to Full Review Brad Oswald Winnipeg Free Press 12/13/2013
AHS: Coven certainly displayed more of a sense of humour than the franchise's first two seasons - which is not, however, to say Murphy and Falchuk have eased up on the gore, offbeat violence and freak-show-flavoured psychosexual misbehaviour. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Roger Wayne A @Rogeradams6oh6 Dec 29 This was my first season of AHS I watched and it got me hooked!!! Jessica Lang plays a wonderful villain! Angela Bassett gave a great performance hell they all did! See more Vagner S Nov 26 Witches, voodoo, and zombies are the highlights of this season, which loses its shine in the final episodes. Even so, the characters are great, and the actors clearly have fun bringing them to life. See more Nicky A Nov 24 Their best season. I don't think they can ever top this. The actors were amazing and the story was really interesting. Loved it. A masterpiece See more Ellis P. @ELLISTHERATER Oct 27 I really loved coven. If you like horror that’s about witches it’s really good. The series “ apocalypse “ also relates. See more Kyra G Oct 5 My second favourite season from the series. 10/10 for me. Jessica Lange’s character is my absolute favourite in this season See more Jonathon J Sep 24 This is the first really good season of the show. Kathy Bates is amazing here, as is Angela Bassett.
