I have to laugh when I read that a season was a disaster and such nonsense. Each season was different. Each season had great ratings. AND that's why this show is back for two more seasons. Only Supernatural will have had more seasons in the horror genre.

There's always one person who whips out the "Lady Gaga got a Golden Globe" line, clearly failing to realize that the GG's are a joke and pretty much always have been. Hollywood makes fun of them on a regular basis and they are seen as nothing more than a popularity contest. Really. Look it up. They're not taken seriously. I love her music, but it's obvious she only got nominated to get people to watch. She's not a great actress.
Anyway, with that said, this last season was better than season 5 but not by much. I'm hoping season 7 is better or I fear it will get cancelled....or at the very least, I will be deleting it off my DVR. Sad, because I loved this show and have watched it since it started.

Season 5 was a disaster so I can't say season 6 is worse. It's not great, but not nearly as bad. It's just meh.

I didn't watch AHS until season 4 was almost finished. I binge watched and now own every season except hotel (not out yet)some people have mentioned there was something 'missing'this season well, jessica Lange would be a big thing! Beyond that they gave the most talented actors the smallest parts. For example,kathy bates, who is first billed as opposed to the honorary "and, with and as" group, so you think she would have a bigger part than previous seasons, but to my dismay, it was FAR less. I realize why they didn't have one of the older, better actors do most of the sex scenes, because let's face it sex sells and lady Gaga is willing to do whatever with whoever in spades. It was part of the character and I think she was better than I expected.Someone else said it was the "lady Gaga show" I agree a 100% the only other actor that is awesome that got a lot of screen time was Liz Taylor. What about Angela bassestt, Lilly rabe, sarah paulson, Frances Conroy and the list goes on...overall it's one of the best shows on tv, no comparison especially for the genre, but they set the bar high and if you want new talent, different faces etc..write parts according to their strengths and don't make what has always been an ensemble show, a one-man-act. Unless that one man can carry an entire show. Clearly that is not what happened golden globe or not. All we as fans can hope for is a spectacularly better 6th season. I think they put more effort into scream queens, and that should say a lot!!!

Wasn't a big fan of the 5th season. Don't get me wrong. I think Lady Gaga is a great singer and I love most of her songs but AHS season 5 was just the Lady Gaga show. I'm sorry but s5 was the worst season so far and I am saying that as a Lady Gaga fan. I just think the show was seriously lacking something. Maybe it was the cast i don't know but I do know i disliked s5 the most out them all.

I wish they return to the family enters a home horror, ghost entity script. These past seasons have been more gore than substance, they need to rethink direction.

For the Lady GaGa folks, like or dislike her all you want but she took home Golden Globe.

@ Julie - Have you even watched a Lady Gaga music video? Have you seen her in magazines and what she does in nightclubs? You expected her to be on a show and it not be centered around sex when she is a sex icon?! Hahahahaha

I loved the first couple seasons of this show but Coven, Freak Show, and now Hotel have been progressively worse every season. The stories do not make sense, the characters are boring. I can see why people that love Walking Dead love this show... They're both for a very low intelligence crowd that just loves gore and sex.
Can we get some actual story, interesting characters and a little twist in the plot every now and then?!

I have liked every season EXCEPT this one. It is too trashy and doesn't hold my interest. My husband and I were excited to hear Lady Gaga would be on the show ... not anymore - too much smut and no anticipation for what happens on the next episode. Shows can be entertaining without this much smut.
