The love of Asylum just baffles me- I thought that season was a hot mess. It was just all over the place: Serial Killers! Nazis! Zombies! Aliens! Demons! Evil Nuns! Mental Illness! Wrongful Detainment! Medical Experiments! Basically every horror topic was thrown at it, and it came across as totally absurd.
I'm approaching this new season with trepidation. While I LOVED Murder House and Coven, the rest of the seasons were pretty terrible. Asylum and Hotel had such great potential, but both fell flat. Hotel became so silly and Wes Bentley's acting was so terrible, I stopped watching it; and Asylum was so over the top and scattered that I never finished it, either. I never even tried to watch Freak Show because the theme was so distasteful to me. Let's hope this new season gets back some of that Murder House mojo.

I also think that Murder House is the best season so far, it was much more cohesive and it left the least amount of "pendant threads".
I loved Asylum for the theme but it ended up being a melting pot of storylines and those that I actually liked more never got the attention they deserved (especially the experiments). The final episodes had some beautiful moments, you may have missed out on some amazing Jessica Lange and Ian mcShane.
I liked Coven but I never loved it. It always bugged me that it should have been a magic academy and we never saw an actual lesson. It was more an exercise in style than anything else.
You should give a chance to Freakshow, for the first 4 episodes I thought it had the potential to surpass the first season, but then it ended up having too many storylines as well, but much worse than the other previous seasons. But I loved the finale for the faboulous Jessica Lange's bow out. It was sufficient just for these five episodes.
Hotel is my least favorite series. I really disliked Lady Gaga's role and acting, and Wes Bentley's serial killer was the worst shocking moment ever. Really, I think even my cat had seen it coming.
