    #NowWatching American Horror Story s8 "Apocalypse" I'm digging Sarah Paulson as an antagonist. The cast is huge and they're all doing a great job The set pieces look slightly low budget though. I wonder if this was a creative decision, to make it look a little like an old 80's flick like Waxwork 📺

    American Horror Story is one of those shows where if you described the premise and what the show is supposed to be I’d go “that’s amazing I’m watching every second” but when I’ve actually tried to watch it I’ve gotten through half an episode and gone “yeesh!”
