Things are bound to escalate, certainly, but it's been interesting to see how far the series has double-backed on itself.

4/5

Subtle, intimate, and insightful aren't adjectives I'm used to using when talking about AHS, but I really like it. Let's hope it stays that way.

All of this feels like a set-up, and I'm screaming at my television.
