This week's return to Coven gives viewers just enough witchy screen time to clarify how well done season three was, and highlight what Apocalypse has been missing-compelling relationships, even antagonistic ones, between the characters. Go to Full Review

Real talk, I don't know why we're asking this question, because Langdon is very clearly Satan or at least Satan-adjacent by a maximum of one degree. But whatever, roll those title credits. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
This is plainly one of the best episodes of American Horror Story in years. It balances the scales perfectly between celebrating past characters and storylines while forwarding the current season's arc. Go to Full Review
