Critics Consensus

"Sojourn" saves itself from being a completely confusing bridge episode, thanks to a refocus on the existential sadness of Satan's spawn and a killer monologue from Sandra Bernhardt.

Who knew the end of the world would be this confusing?... But if you weren't already expecting that from the latest installment in the Ryan Murphy anthology series, you clearly haven't learned how AHS rolls.

There is usually a point in every American Horror Story season where everything gets really weird. "Sojourn" was that point for Apocalypse.

4/5

Why Michael waited so long to reveal his true identity is beyond me, but I understand that sometimes depression makes people not act like themselves, even when that "self" is Satan's spawn.

With only two episodes remaining and many unanswered questions, doubt that a satisfying conclusion might be on the horizon is starting to form.

Not every episode has been great - and this week's episode, "Sojourn," fell into the middling category - but it's been remarkably easy to follow.

I also probably wasn't as much of a fan of this episode because I've never been fascinated with Michael. It's not because he's the Antichrist, but because he's boring.
