American Horror Story - Season 6, Episode 05: Chapter 5
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.
I don't much care about beating this drum every week, but the writers have done nothing with the format and it's more than worn out its welcome. The good news? The format might be done, as of this episode!
On Wednesday night, Ryan Murphy finally unleashed one of American Horror Story's most precious commodities: Evan Peters. The perennial favorite's appearance has been long anticipated this season, and it did not disappoint.
Previous gripes aside, "Chapter Five" managed to wrap up the story at hand in a mostly satisfying way, by welcoming back some familiar faces in new characters.
I had no idea I wanted to see Evan Peters dressed in 19th-century garb and making out with a sexy young male slave until it was actually happening on my television screen, and then that was all that I ever wanted in my entire life.
Episode 5, thankfully, is the start of American Horror Story's delivery with season 6; its descent into madness. A whole bunch of things happen in this episode, to the point that it all sort of flashes by in one wild scream.
Perhaps the most interesting sequence... [was] when Mott's ghost leads the Millers to the pig farm where they had previously found those cute little feral boys suckling at the teat of a giant pig (you, of course, will remember this image).
