Between then and now, it seems he’s come to the realization that if fans were already loyal enough to help bury the bodies of season-one episodes that flatlined, we deserved some fresh cuts from a sharpened writing perspective that slices like a well-balanced knife that feels just like an extension of the hand and feeds our hunger for modern takes on classic scares. Manny Coto, who has written every episode of season two so far, was also the primary writer for American Horror Stories season one. Episode three, “Drive,” makes this improvement an indisputable fact. Since then, people have been commenting on Twitter and elsewhere that this season is far better than the first season. “Dollhouse” started off season two of American Horror Stories a few weeks ago with a clever and well-written take on an origin story for Spalding, an AHS fan-favorite character.
That being said, it always feels nice to see something you’ve been rooting for and championing for years level up in ways you knew it was always capable of.
We take what we’re given and - some might say - love the shows unconditionally. Even so, fans of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s distinct style of horror welcome and embrace the show year in and year out, regardless of any flaws. As I mentioned in my recap of “Dollhouse,” the AHS franchise has made a reputation for itself as being a hit-or-miss type of deal.
