AMERICAN HORROR STORY
American Horror Story is a horror TV series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. It's an anthologic series. Each season has different plots, characters, settings ...
It is one of my favourite series. I'll talk a little about each season:
Season 1: Murder House
The first season is based on the Harmon family: Ben, Vivien and Violet, who move from Boston to Los Angeles after Vivien has a miscarriage and Ben Hayden an affair with one of his students. The family moves into a mansion, unaware that the house is haunted. Ben and Vivien try to rekindle their relationship as Violet, suffering from depression, finds comfort with Tate, one of Ben's new patients. Her neighbor Constance, and a stranger named Larry Harvey, affecting the lives of the Harmon frequently. The life of Harmon becomes more complicated when Hayden comes to Los Angeles in an attempt to win the love of Ben.
Season 2: Asylum
The second season takes place in Briarcliff Manor, an asylum for the criminally insane. There is sent Kit Walker, a young man who worked at a gas station, accused of killing his African American wife Alma Walker. The marriage was kept hidden to avoid social impact, as it was illegal in several states and racial discrimination was very violent. Kit is brought to the asylum being confused with the serial murderer "Bloody Face", who skinned his victims (always women) and cut off their heads. But really, Alma was abducted by aliens with her husband, only the latter returning to Earth
. No one believes the story of Kit. Within the asylum, he will encounter terrifying characters like Dr. Arthur Arden and Sister Jude. Strange events take place in Briarcliff, where reign horror, injustice, dementia, inhuman treatment and pain.
Season 3: Coven
It's been over 300 years since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials. Those witches who escaped are now endangered. They are producing mysterious attacks and therefore decide to send younger to a special school in New Orleans where they can learn to protect themselves. One is Zoe, reaching the place hiding a terrible secret. Furthermore, alarmed by the recent attacks, Fiona, the long absent supreme witch, decides to return to the site to protect theirs ... and no one stand in his way.
Main topics are witches, witch hunt, incest, minorities, slavery, mothers and daughters, and sorcery against voodoo.
Season 4: Freak Show
The fourth season (not yet released) will be set in Jupiter, Florida in 1952. It will be centered around one of the few remaining freak shows at the time, as its members do anything to keep the business alive. The season will focus on the conflict between the freaks and the "evil forces" who do not understand them. The season will also feature a "clown killer".
