What's The Best Season Of American Horror Story

Let's be real. Picking the best American Horror Story season is like choosing your favorite kid. (Don't lie, you have one!) It's tough. But someone's gotta do it.

The Usual Suspects (And Why They're Great...But Not THE Best)

Okay, Murder House. Classic. Gave us Violet and Tate. But a little too angsty teen drama for my refined palate these days.

Asylum? Creepy nuns. Alien abductions. Torture. Too dark, even for me! (And I binge true crime podcasts, so that's saying something.)

Coven! Witches! Stevie Nicks! Fabulous outfits. But the plot got a little... muddy, didn't it? Plus, too much focus on high school drama with witches!

Hotel brought the glamour, the gore, and Lady Gaga. Gaga was amazing! But it felt a little too…stylish, not scary.

Roanoke scared the pants off me. The found footage thing was super effective. But also… kinda annoying after a while, right?

Cult tapped into our political anxieties. Super relevant! But honestly, who wants to relive that era? No thanks!

Apocalypse was like a fan-fiction fever dream. Bringing back all the favorites! But ultimately a bit messy.

1984 was a fun, campy slasher throwback. Totally enjoyable! But did it stick with you? Probably not.

Double Feature, well, it was...a double feature. One good half, one not so much. Let's just move on.

NYC tried to be serious and gritty. It was definitely different! But I still feel like it's a bit underrated.

Delicate? Honestly, still processing. Kim K, you were interesting. But will this season be the best? Most likely not.

My Unpopular Opinion: Freak Show Deserves the Crown

Hear me out! I know, I know. Freak Show had its flaws. But it's the most memorable for me.

The visuals were stunning. Jessica Lange's Elsa Mars broke my heart! The costumes were incredible! The set design was just perfect!

And the characters! Pepper, Twisty, Dandy Mott...they were all so messed up and fascinating. Even though some thought the characters were caricatures, there was still so much heart.

It wasn't just about the scares. It was about outsiders finding a family. It was about chasing a dream. It was about the ugliness and beauty of humanity.

Yeah, Twisty the Clown was terrifying. But he was also tragically sad. Plus, the singing! Jessica Lange crooning Lana Del Rey? Iconic.

The story had depth. Underneath the clowns and the conjoined twins, there's a commentary on beauty, acceptance, and what it means to be human.

Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for a good period piece. Or maybe it's because I love seeing underdogs triumph (or at least try to). But Freak Show just gets me.

So, yeah. Freak Show is my pick for the best season of American Horror Story. Fight me! (But please, be gentle.)

But Hey, To Each Their Own...Right?

Look, we all have our favorites. And that's what makes American Horror Story so great! There's a season for everyone.

Whether you're into haunted houses, creepy clowns, or witchy women, there's something in the AHS universe for you to love. And argue about online. Because that's what we do!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch Freak Show and cry a little. No judgement!
