*SPOILERS BELOW*
The first few episodes of each season of American Horror Story always make me really anxious, and I'll tell you why. They're never afraid to throw huge drastic plot twists within the first 4 episodes or so. It's not like a regular series, which usually throws in the big plot twist at midseason or the finale of that season. American Horror Story has a different story each season, so they can't afford to hold off of their huge plot twists, they throw them in at any time. The second episode, "Boy Parts," has already set up some plot lines that I believe will escalate very quickly and soon all chaos is going to break lose.
The episode starts off with some award-winning acting by Lily Rabe, which also includes some people getting eaten by alligators, a deceased boy was brought back to life in a Frankenstein/witch spell type of thing, and the war between witches and voodoo starts rolling. Basically, this episode is setting up a lot of horror to unfold. These first two episodes haven't included too much horror yet, and it's been sailing as a much lighter season than the previous two seasons. However, I feel like that's going to change very soon.
I honestly think the actress that stole this evening's episode was Lily Rabe, who plays Misty Day, a witch who has the power of resurgence (the ability to bring things back to life.) She plays a Snow White-kind of character: a very innocent woman who lives in such a harsh world. Of course, everyone in this show is an incredible actor or actress, and every single one brings something awesome to their character. Emma Roberts is a breakthrough, I must say. Not many thought she'd fit into the show well, but she's doing great. Taissa Farmiga as the newbie witch is doing some excellent things as well.
Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates... alright soon I'll just be listing the entire cast. It's rare you find a show that literally every actor is dedicated to the show and doesn't see it as just another paycheck. They're bringing this story to life. That's also assisted through the phenomenal camerawork and settings. From the swamps of Louisiana to the eerily large house of the school of witches. Everything is incredible.
So to recap in one sentence: Things are definitely taking a turn for the worst, and soon an all out war is going to start. I can't wait! If there's one thing about this show, it's that once you start watching you can't stop.
