Chapter 1 (S06E01)

Do we finally have an American Horror Story with main characters anchored in reality and with positive attributes, instead of only psychopaths, murderers, ghosts and perverts? Do we finally have an American Horror Story that’s not only bloody and twisted, but truly atmospheric and scary? Do we finally have someone to root for? The first episode is very interesting and hopefully things will hold and won’t become the classic circus of the bizarre where anything can happen to anyone, because this movie universe has nothing in common with reality. The documentary format was surprising, but I have nothing against it, it gives some background to the characters and it makes you believe that they won’t become psychopaths in the next episode. I’m very satisfied so far, and I hope that the current trend will continue and that Murphy will not overstuff it as usual. (09/20/2016)

I have to admit, the start of the sixth season took me by surprise. "Hotel" didn't quite do it for me, but suddenly the creators came up with something entirely different. The documentary style is a fresh twist for the series, though it does reveal who survives right away, so more sensitive viewers don't have to stress over the fate of the main characters. (03/17/2018)
