"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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

American Horror Story reins in its Grand Guignol excess for a softer touch in Delicate, refreshing the series' formula with a slow-burn chiller about the anxieties of pregnancy.

If this storyline ends up being about female friendship, it's a bizarre one, stripped of the usual intimacies. Go to Full Review

3/5
Pregnancy is not exactly an untapped experience within the horror genre, if anything it might be a little overtapped... but it gives a show obsessed with extravagant iconography a full playground at its disposal. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 09/21/2023
If the best premieres sink their claws into a viewer, Delicate manages only a light scratch — sharp enough to leave an impression, but not to hook someone in. Go to Full Review
Álvaro Onieva Fotogramas 12/27/2023
The absence of Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Lily Rabe - the three performers who have appeared the most in the franchise and who jumped ship in "Double Feature' - is noticeable, but the presence of Emma Roberts compensates. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
John Paul King Washington Blade 10/12/2023
No matter how it plays out, the show is sure to strike a chord with all the loyal “AHF” fans, and those who are less devoted will probably still find much to keep them interested in the series’ signature gruesome-but-elegant aesthetic, no matter what. Go to Full Review
EJ Moreno EJ Moreno 09/23/2023
Scaling back the insanity for a simple, clean story will do wonders for Delicate. It's posh, creepy, and a needed shot in the arm for AHS. Go to Full Review

Elizabeth M @Derpy Dec 31 Murphy and Falchuck had no hand in the writing of this season, and it shows. Instead, creative control was given to talentless nepo-baby, Halley Feiffer, who drew up a confused and frentic storyline clogged with hackneyed feminist tropes and two-dimensional, wealthy New Yorkers and Hollywood celebs. What a disappointment. See more Nay N @Sliceoflife Dec 28 Just end the show already. It had a great run then it ended a few years ago. Unless there’s a big come back I don’t want to see it anymore. See more Marko @MarkoCop Dec 24 Mediocre beginning, the worst possible ending ever. Only the middle of the season was somewhat watchable. See more Nick G @Nickg711 Dec 7 Man Kim Kardashian can really not act. American horror story what did they do to you my boy. They massacred my boy. So sad See more Vagner S Nov 26 The idea of adapting a novel that recycles previously used concepts, such as a ‘devil seed’ trope, is poorly executed, with unlikable characters and a lack of charisma from the protagonists. Emma Roberts struggles to keep the plot engaging, but her performance is the only thing that works well in the season. See more Nicky A Nov 24 Not their worst season, but definitely far from the best. Story line was a bit weird and so was the pacing. This season is easy to forget. See more Read all reviews
