It's so convenient when a historical serial killer's real-life purple prose is just as over-the-top and divaish as everything else on American Horror Story: Coven. Go to Full Review Rakesh Satyal New York Magazine/Vulture 07/19/2016
4/5
The look of delight, flattery, self-doubt, and passion on Fiona's face - just after a clump of her hair falls out - is as good as anything that Jessica Lange has done this season. Go to Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine 07/12/2016

3.5/5
