Old School. Biblically Independent.

I did not watch this season of American Horror Story. I haven’t watched in several seasons now because I could no longer bother watching the first few episodes of a season before it ran off the rails. From Jen’s review of the beginning of the 13th season, it seems like it went off the rails almost immediately.
But apparently, it got worse. Jen disliked the finale, too. The finale was so bad that — as of this moment — it’s the lowest rated scripted, American episode of TV with over 1,000 votes over on IMDB. I saw that on Reddit. I had to look it up to confirm. It’s true. It has a 2.5 rating. Hilariously, the next four lowest rated episodes of all time, and 8 out of the top 10 are all from Velma, which I suspect got review bombed. But also, it sucked.
Anyway, how bad was it? Bad enough for Emma Roberts — whose career at this point basically consists of Ryan Murphy shows — to repost this (before later deleting it) on Instagram.
“Just watched S13,” the post, originally from thehotgirlguide, says. “Still processing how a season of a once great tv show could be so bad.”
And this is the season that Jessica Lange reportedly came out of retirement to do.
FX has renewed American Horror Story for a 14th season, so someone must still be watching.
