"American Horror Story" was created by the co-creators of "Glee," but the shows have little in common besides that. The show revolves around the Harmons, a family of three, who move from Boston to Los Angeles in order to reconcile past anguish. What the Harmons don't know is that the house they've moved into is haunted. But it's not haunted by Casperesque friendly ghosts -- it's haunted by demonic creatures. The creatures have a history of not only spooking the house's residents but also devouring them. After living in this house, family patriarch and psychiatrist, Ben, may need a shrink of his own.

Critics Consensus

Ryan Murphy and his murderers' row of witchy performers literally save the world -- and franchise -- in Apocalypse, the series most ambitious crossover swing yet.

One giant celebration of the series, one moment after the next giving me chills.

Even if the primary pleasures of Apocalypse turn out to be based in pure nostalgia, I'm okay with that - weirdly enough, I really missed loving this show.

Rated: B+

Besides a satisfying resolution, part of the allure of this season lies in its connection to the prior series. [Full review in Spanish]

Apocalyptic thematics are fused with character interconnections from Coven. Difficult to find the future in a series geared predominantly in the past and often based upon real events and people.

This season is filled with witchy nostalgia. It would be so much better to have the coven back for more screen time, but it's enough to fall under their spell. The story is rushed. There is space for 4/5 episodes more. At least I would love to dance under the fool moon with the coven a little bit more.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
