American Horror Story TURNS 8...

Opening to just over 3 million live viewers, however getting fairly solid reviews, American Horror Story returns for it's promised crossover series Murder House x Coven.

The only thing is episode one, it was all new characters and the end of the world as we know it.

American Horror Story has been around since 2011 and a fan favourite on FX network in the USA. Unlike the brilliant last season Cult which was for some reason held by Foxtel in Australia, Apocalypse is being fast tracked. Thanks for the consistency Foxtel.

The usual suspects are back, Evan Peters (Pose fame recently), Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd returns for a second outing and Murphy sure likes her after her role in Scream Queens previously. While Emma Roberts, Jessica Lange are set to return and Joan Collins has joined the family.

American Horror Story is a phenomena, it's got a big online cult following, the teasers and lead up to what the theme will be each year gets the online community talking and Murphy is lucky hitting reset at the start of each new season.

Following a few meh seasons, I have high hopes for the future setting of Apocalypse, it started a little slow but the set up is there. Love, tension, suspense and not much hope given for each of our new TV friends.

I look forward to episode two and seeing where Murphy will take up this time around. Season eight of a horror show on TV, that in itself is a huge achievement.
