FX is a network that prides itself in edgy programming. With a line-up that includes Sons of Anarchy, Justified, Wilfred, Louie, among others, I really have high hopes for anything premiering on the network.
American Horror Story is an ambitious new series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the co-creators of the former FX series Nip/Tuck and the current mega-hit Glee. Murphy describes AHS as a “psychosexual thriller”, which honestly made me groan. But after watching the pilot, the description is bang-on.
Now before going into the specifics of the pilot, I wanted to layout my concerns I had before watching the episode. While promoting the series, FX has been stating that the new horror series is “From the co-creators of Glee”. Although it is accurate, I questioned why they used Glee instead of Nip/Tuck. After all, Nip/Tuck is closer to AHS’s target audience, not to mention that it was on the same network. It seemed like a no-brainer.
