Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - American Horror Story: Delicate

The twelfth season of the American Horror Story, is Delicate.

Based on Danielle Valentine's book, Delicate Condition. This is the first season of the AHS to be based on a novel, instead of having an original storyline. 

In Delicate we see Emma Roberts, Denis O'Hare, Dominic Burgess, Zachary Quinto, Billie Lourd, Grace Gummer, Leslie Grossman,  Matt Czuchry, Kim Kardashian, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela JaĆ© Rodriguez, Cara Delevingne, Julie White, Juliana Canfield, and Maaz Ali all star in Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's long running series.

This season was split into two parts, with the second part landing earlier this month. With only nine episodes (along with short episode run times) this was one short season. That is after we got over having five episodes in September, then waiting six months for four short, abrupt AF episodes.

Spoilers for the super random The Auteur finale below. You have been warned!

In flashbacks, Siobhan meets Anna for the first time and forces Dr. Hill to work for her. 

Then in 2024, Dex and Kamal join Anna in the ambulance, which Ivy drives to an underground facility. As Anna goes into labor, Ivy shoots Kamal and the baby bites Dex's hand off; Ivy forces it down Dex's throat, killing him. 

After Anna gives birth to a demonic boy, Ivy tells her that her baby was the price for her Oscar. 

Later, Anna awakens paralyzed from the waist down, where she is greeted by the cult, the Delicates. Siobhan reveals herself as the leader and offers Anna beauty and power. 

As Dex's father enters, Siobhan explains that she is Dex's mother and that Anna's fetus was replaced with her own. Siobhan kills Ivy for killing Dex and explains that the cult's true intention is to use Dex's preserved testicles to breed superpowered children who will kill all men. 

After Anna agrees to join, Adeline appears and tells Anna that only light can snuff out the dark. Anna joins Adeline in chanting, causing Siobhan to disintegrate. Anna, no longer paralyzed, puts on Siobhan's headpiece and finds her baby, now human, and her Oscar in the next room.

So lets just say, this show is now no longer, the cult must-see it once was. I really have no idea what I just watched over this  twelfth season. It was a bit of a red hot mess with the most random, abrupt, just get it over with finale. Kim Kardashian however did have some wild lines.

Will she be back for season thirteen? Let's just say, surely that will be the final season right FX? Surely?

If you are interested in Australia, AHS streams now on Binge.
