Watching the first episode gave me nauseating flashbacks of how annoyed and depressed I was over the hate and fear-mongering emanating from both sides in the weeks following the November U.S. election.
My feelings over these extreme reactions probably caused my blood pressure to rise, which, in turn, may have been a contributing factor in my left eye having a stroke in December.
I want to keep what sight I have left for as long as I can, so I'm poring out what's left of AHS: Cult. Maybe I'll refill my cup next season, or when the series is done with this political ratings ploy.
Though I will say that it wasn't as wretchedly dull as the first episode of AHS: Hotel, and it was smart of Ryan Murphy to cast Billie Lourd as the most interesting and emotionally complex character.
However, I found the clowns repetitive and boring, but that might be because AHS: Freak Show helped me face my coulrophobia.
Also, if Ryan Murphy wants to give a voice to people who don't feel like they have a voice, why were the main characters all white?
Anyhoo...that's it for now. Thank you for reading my half-blind nonsense.
Freak Out,
