SO GOOD.
So satisfying to watch a show that is scary and complicated and also CONFUSING: as in you don't know why that just happened and you have no idea what's about to happen next. And there's no fucking voice-over telling you what to think and how to feel and explaining it all to you.
Bonus: American Horror Story is shot in our neighb, and Dylan McDermott runs/hikes in all the places I hike/pretend to run. So if you want a badass tour of Echo Park....
Warning: The show is pretty fucking scary. If you're pregs, you may want to skip it.

In case you're wondering HOW? We watched the pilot on the FX site, bought eps 2-3 from Amazon, and then drilled down into our on-demand to find eps 4-7. A repeat of ep 9 is set to record on Wednesday, so we may shell out the $2.99 for ep 8 if it's not available on demand by then.
My own behavior gives me hope for the industry. I mean: YAY! If you make good sh*t, people will TRACK IT DOWN and happily pay money to see it.
i think it blows. gore for the sake of gore does not a good story make.
ReplyDeleteit's on the list, you know after gossip girl.
ReplyDelete@cevd we're about to delete GG. TOO. MUCH. BAD. VOICE. OVER.

ReplyDeleteand yet when i tweet that way you mock me.

ReplyDeleteI love that show so much... I've been addicted since I started it last week on Hulu Plus.
ReplyDeleteI love Gossip Girl! I agree about the vo but at least it's Kristen Bell.
ReplyDeletegg has never really been a GOOD show.
ReplyDelete@cevd it's true. I think 3 weeks w/o TV gave us a whole lot of perspective.
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted too! I DVRed a marathon a few weeks back & I was instantly hooked. Nobody I know watches it though :-(
ReplyDeletei've never heard of this show; now i'm intrigued. does your disclaimer also apply to ladies with new babies?
ReplyDelete@Celia nah, not really. once you deliver I'd say you're out of the woods. (i can't make any claims about season two)
ReplyDeleteThat shit scares the bejeesus out of me. I can handle blood and gore (because it's just plain gross), but having the emotional aspects on top of the suspense KILLS me. I watched the first episode and bailed. Boyfriend is addicted, though.
ReplyDeletei totally agree its a great show- but i'm way too big of a sissy to watch anymore
ReplyDeleteit's good, right ?! i watch it while nursing the baby. hee.
ReplyDeleteLooooove it! H tries to make me watch 'The Walking Dead, ' as well, which is a good read but I can't deal with zombies. Ghosts are fine for some reason though.
ReplyDeleteHi, random commenter here. I just started following East Side Bride again bc I'm planning my wedding now and used to read you when I was helping a friend plan hers a couple of years ago. ANYway, whoa! you live in Echo Park now!? (Because me too, and that's always exciting internet people are not only real, but also live in your neighborhood) And is AMS what's always shooting in Angeleno Heights?!? SO MUCH SENSE.
ReplyDelete@erin been here the whole time. EAST SIDE, HELLO ;)
ReplyDelete@esb for an embarrassingly long time I thought East side referred to ummm, the upper east side...
ReplyDeleteI've watched one episode - the one where Tammy Taylor (from Friday Night Lights) has an Open House. There were some creepy scenes, but it didn't inspire me to watch more episodes. Now that Season 2 of The Walking Dead is on hiatus until February, I could give AHS another try!
ReplyDeleteWe are totally obsessed too (and also forked out for episodes)...it is SO GOOD
ReplyDelete@Cici um. you've *seen* gossip girl, right?
