American Horror Story: Coven

So, do you guys think this will be more like Suspiria, or more like Harry Potter?

I'm excited to see the show set in New Orleans. I don't live in New Orleans proper, but I know the city well enough that I expect to see a lot of locations that I recognize. I have to say that I, personally, think a story about a school for witches is dumb, and that it is set in New Orleans is kind of lazy writing and a little obvious.

That said, I'll definitely watch it, even though I didn't enjoy Season 2 nearly as much as I liked Season 1.

Also, as a side note, my faith in the world and humanity died a little bit more when I watched the trailer on youtube. The background music is "House of the Rising Sun" (of course :rolleyes:), and I couldn't believe how many comments of, "What song is this?" or "What's the name of the song?" I saw. People these days don't know shit about shit.

Anyone know of a good way to get American Horror Story: Asylum. I'd like to watch it before I start Coven.

I loved the first season and unfortunately didn't get a chance to watch the second.

It might be on Netflix, I'm not sure. Even if you can't track it down, it won't matter. Each season is a completely different storyline, characters, etc., so you won't be missing out on anything you need to know.

Good to know, thanks!

Looks like season two is not on Netflix, but is available on Amazon streaming for two bucks an episode.

For what it's worth, I didn't think Season 2 was nearly as good as Season 1.

And I thought it was better.

I'll agree with Knife Fight. I liked the first season better. Although i did like the second season and i thought the finale was better.

I just watched the first real commercial with the actors. I don't know about this one now. The teasers were really good and spooky. With the actors it doesn't feel that way. I saw another teaser with a lady doing something in a chair and she had a snake tail for legs. Spooky stuff like that is what I'm expecting. Not what might be a modern day witch school / sanctuary.

After two seasons of delving into our national psyche and all the horrible things that can be found there, playing out on a rich tapestry of themes, multi-generational storytelling, with layer upon layer of subtext, you really think all this coming season will be about is a school for witches? That's like saying the first season was just a haunted house story and the second season was about some crazy nuns.
