American Horror Story - Season 6, Episode 02: Chapter 2
Trailer
Season 6 is back without Jessica Lange and is focusing on the physical and psychological fears traumatising the staff and clients at a terrified colony.
If this is an uncomplicated, traditional, don't-go-into-the-woods exercise in making the viewer at home pee his or her pants, we would be dumb to complain.
The docudrama style of the series was another surprise, and one that people either love or hate. I happen to be in the former camp of people because it finally feels like the creators are trying something new.
At least in the premiere, the characters were often separated and secretive with each other, both in the re-enactments and in "reality," but in 'Chapter 2' the talking heads are painfully perfunctory.
Now that the mystery of AHS's sixth season has evaporated, we've had another week to settle into the most miserable house this side of Roanoke Island, North Carolina.
It's almost too much to believe that they would still stay there, whether they can get rid of the house or not. Because of this, the reasons they do choose to stay feel forced while the series seems hesitant to offer up anything truly scary.
