Oh man I love reading comments from Max & the fake 1. I always have a good laugh, don’t ever change Max.
I’m not a fan of this season of ahs but still going to keep watching it. It’s creepy in parts not scary. Yeah season 1 of it was better, the way it was set up was better. I like the past stories showing up while in the present. I hope it comes back for season 3. Love all the actors.
Why can’t some of you guys just let Max say whatever nonsense he feels like and ignore it? You can be like me and trash Scandal.
Nevermind, just watched Scandal on Netflix. Awesome show! Can’t wait for tonight!
Very good for AHS. Even demo and up in viewers from last week. Personally for me im enjoying it more than last season.
AHS is great! UK Fan. Doing well here.
LMAO at all the “max” posts. Good stuff.
Anyhow, AHS may not be as good as last season, but it’s still a good viewing. And the ratings are fine for FX.
I think they are just exploiting nudity, sadism and violence this season with no real story for the audience to connect to. Its very cheesy, in a bad way. I’m just hanging in there for a few of the actors I love.
You heard it here first, folks! Don’t expect a third season from the number three show on cable!
Can Max be banned? isn’t what he is doing just Trolling plain and simple? He is not expressing his opinion, unless his opinion is simply to be contrary and to make fun of people who post stuff here. I suppose it shouldn’t matter. But both his personalities are unpleasant.
I love the new season of AHS. Just Jessica Lange performance should be enough to make anyone happy. Its got a lot of depth, and it has its campy moments, both of which are greeat. Never change AHS. Or..um keep on eveolving and changing. You know what I mean! Happy others approve of this excellent second season which is so much better then the first. Although S1 was also good.
