She used to be a school teacher, so is she really a great decorator? The whole reason the family has this new home in such a prestigious community for the winter is because the owners saw her work on Instagram (where she won a contest) and have hired her to redecorate the whole house. Nothing wrong with that, in particular, but this is also a woman who fancies herself an interior designer. Maybe she is, as her daughter accuses her later in the premiere, just an "ordinary" woman. The problem is that maybe she's not quite the expert she thinks she is. She looks up lots of things online and becomes an "expert" in those things, like so many people do. It was an interesting character trait that really had us thinking they were going to go all in on Lyme with her, but we think it's more indicative of her personality type. While it faded a bit in the second episode, Doris spent a good deal of the first episode obsessing of Lyme disease, looking up symptoms, warning their daughter Alma about it, and even wondering if the man who broke into their house and attacked Witrock's Harry was perhaps suffering from it. Tim McGraw Gives Rare Comments on Relationship with His Late Father Are the lights indicative of a need in those houses? A need for - well, we'll get to that soon enough. We got a further clue about them when Conroy's Belle Noir had her light on to welcome Karen to her house with a special delivery, only to shut it off shortly after Karen left. In winter, that number drops to 3,000 and it's not necessarily safe outside at night, or daytime, or any time. By summer, it has 60,000 residents and is like any other tourist destination. We're told that Provincetown is a very different community in the summer and in the winter. The name of this half of the season is "Red Tide," and we love that there is no mention of "Double Feature" in the opening credits, it's "American Horror Story: Red Tide." While there is an obvious bloody connotation with red, one of the first images we get is of red lights on houses in town. In a show not known for its subtlety, we have a feeling where that's going.įor this season, we're going to spotlight the biggest WTF moments from each episode to see if they're great twists, lame jump scares or a truly head-scratching "kitchen sink" moment.īig Brother Blowout: Is It Still a Backdoor If Your Target Sees It Coming a Mile Away? Finn Witrock is perfectly cast as the driven, struggling writer who's trying so hard to not become Stephen King's Jack Torrance, while Ryan Kiera Armstrong is equally compelling as his daughter.īut it's Lily Rabe who's really grabbing our attention as wife and mother Doris, who may be the most complex and yet "perfectly ordinary" character we've met so far. So one of our biggest WTFs right now, is WTF do you do with where we are now for the next however many hours.Īt the same time, we have to consider ourselves incredibly satisfied with this opening. There are a few mysteries lingering around the edges, but not too many. That's not happening so far, as this episode is about as transparent and clear as can be as to what's going on. Is this going to be another "Asylum," where Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk threw everything and the kitchen sink into a plot so convoluted we were about ready to check ourselves into the asylum trying to follow it. And that has us wondering just what our WTFs are going to be for as we move along? We don't know how many episodes this first half of "Double Feature" is going to be, but they're wasting no time. Usually, big reveals are saved until later in the series so we can use up all our WTFs just trying to figure out what's going on. In fact, with that ending, this could have easily been a two-hour film with a dramatic twist ending we all saw coming from the first moment we got a hint about what was going on. It's almost as if this was another chapter of that anthology series. With only two episodes under our belt, we've only scratched the surface of this whole series, but at the same time, we know so much already. The latter appears to be having an absolute blast, and we've just scratched the surface of where is character is going. Shots of just the streets of Provincetown are almost as terrifying as the makeup job they did on Sarah Paulson to transform her into "Tuberculosis Karen" for this season.Īs much fun as Paulson is in this role, the two-part premiere had even bigger scene stealers in Evan Peters, Frances Conroy and Macaulay Culkin, making his "AHS" premiere. Who knew a quaint village in the Northeast could look so absolutely terrifying no matter the weather or time of day.
