What to Know

Critics Consensus

The finale offers a lukewarm conclusion to an uneven season of American Horror Story, but all of the stories of our cherished "freaks" eventually synced together into a relatively satisfying button ending.

There was something disingenuous at the core of this finale, I think. Go to Full Review Scott Neumyer Wall Street Journal 01/22/2015
"Curtain Call" kind of sums up how I feel about this entire season of American Horror Story. It's all been a whole lot of buildup, for a very pedestrian payoff. And, unfortunately, that's not what diehard (or even casual) fans of AHS want. Go to Full Review Lauren McEwen Washington Post 01/22/2015
It's a warmhearted end to a twisted and bloody season. For the most part, it wraps up Freak Show neatly. Go to Full Review Angela L. Harmon The NitPic 12/16/2019
Rather than a work of art, this season was like a child's crayon scribbles on a white wall, different colors swirling all around each other until the whole thing turns brown. The child revels in its creation, but all anyone else sees a mess. Go to Full Review Andrea Reiher Zap2it.com 01/22/2015
In a rather fitting finale to a season of AHS that started out so promisingly and became increasingly devoid of anything worth watching. Go to Full Review Price Peterson TV.com 01/22/2015
I loved it so much; I was a mess during most of it. The massacre scene was absolutely terrifying and gut-wrenching, and those opening chords of "Heroes" will never not trigger extreme emotions in me. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
