I suspect the manner in which I just watched it was optimal for a show of this variety. Wife and I made an evening of it last night and watched the
majority of the season. We got up this morning and finished it off. I really liked the show, probably a little more than if I had of watched it week
to week.
It was a creative show that doesn't attempt to explain itself to the viewer. It just presents its own story and you as the viewer need to keep up.
I'd have to say I'm a bit of a fan of Ryan Murphy. As you see in Glee, he sort of creates his own rules for the show and doesn't really try to
explain it or doesn't seem to care if anyone likes it. You can either accept it or you don't. The fact the show is being done as an anthology with
season two coming with a new location, a new cast and possibly some of the same actors returning as new characters, he's breaking most of the
"rules" that you see most networks operate within.
What I like is that most times television shows cater to the audience. It gives the audience what it wants and usually the quality of the show
suffers. I don't get that from this series, as I don't from most others that are on cable television. AMC, HBO and Showtime are keeping us stocked
with good television despite what the major networks are pumping out.
I'm looking forward to season two. I'll probably watch it in a similar format. Skip it a few weeks at a time and watch it in bunches. Gets you
into it a little more than hanging from week to week when a whole lot doesn't happen.
