AHS: Apocalypse

 I know I've been away and I'll try to provide some updates as I can, but allow me the opportunity me to share just how mind-blowingly good a series was.

I just finished American Horror Story: Apocalypse, and boy......my mind was blown, reconstructed, and blown, and reconstructed, and blown, repetitively in a seemingly infinite loop.

It started off a little unassumingly. The first episode kicked off rather....meh. So the world is crumbling and living beings are being slowly faded into nothingness, and a group of people were held together in a bunker as the 'survivors' to allegedly propagat
e mankind when things are over.

It sounded. Meh. Okay. Not very impressive, but at least it was original, and it looked at least a tad promising, so let's give it a try. AHS had never disappointed me once after finishing all 7 seasons thus far. Even Cult and Hotel were good, though the online consensus was that these two were rather inferior (and I was sad Jessica Lange no longer acted in the show, real sad).

But by the end of second season when Cordelia emerged and the way the episode ended......I knew the good ones are coming.

Apocalypse attempted what AHS never attempted, and I guess this path was never visualised when Murder House and Coven were produced. Apocalypse is about the AntiChrist from the Murder House rising and threatening the Coven's legacy and the world's being by ultimately bringing the Armageddon to the world, and the witches trying to stop Michael Langdon from gaining his goal.

It is a surprisingly brilliant crossover that had not at any point disappointed me at all. 

It was brilliant. And Jessica Lange returned for two episodes and was featured prominently for one episode! And seeing every character return was just somehow....an Endgame moment for AHS fan I might say.

I might want to nitpick a little though. The way Michael died at the end was just a little anticlimatic. It seemed such an easy death for such a powerful figure. 

But otherwise, solid season. Solid plot. Solid show.

I'll continue to sob that Jessica Lange will not return anymore, and I've just learnt Kathy Bates also did not return to another season, and Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson would begin to reduce their features from here thereon. But I'll continue to have faith that AHS will not disappoint.
