Critics Consensus

"Head" churns out terrific dialogue and a series of surprising plot twists, even as the sheer number of narrative arcs and political themes induce a certain amount of viewer fatigue.

I know I say this basically every week, but I am always stunned by the caliber of camp Ryan Murphy manages to achieve. The last five minutes of this episode was pure insane trash.

This war is getting real, queens. Grab your coffee, guns, and pillows, 'cause this is one bumpy broom.

This week's episode of American Horror Story: Coven steers the series into unexpected and retrospectively logical narrative and thematic directions.

This would have been so much more interesting if it had unfolded just a little more organically, rather than the fits and starts of a typical Murphy joint.

Perhaps the worst part of this episode, and definitely one of the more deplorable aspects of this season in general, is the continued botching of their race material.
