Well, if you've seen American Horror Story, that's pretty much what you're getting. Some seasons of AMS really work for me, others really not so much.
I find when Ryan Murphy tries to play with his formula he mostly fumbles it.
Niecy Betts is an excellent lead and it's good to see her with the space to round a character out - she's truly really good in this and backed by a strong supporting cast, Goodwin and Diamond in particular.

I enjoy camp, but about half way through the season there's an absolutely senseless, anachronistic and frankly painful musical number, that had me absolutely cringe - I felt embarrassed for the cast members involved. To follow this up, Murphy tries to flip the script and introduce a clumsy twist - is it a dream? Jesus, really? Half way through the season? Ok, if you're going to start the series with this kind of premise, but introducing it after stakes and investment are built? Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. I very nearly gave up on it entirely at this point, but thought I'd stick it out.
This could have come in as maybe an 8/10, a strong 7 at least, but cheers - that was some time I spent.
