Pilot Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Julieanne Smolinski
Overall, the first episode of True Blood Credits: the Television Show was pretty good.

American Horror Story: What exactly is on your crazy-chaotic mind?
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
American Horror Story won't be for everyone, but it just might be for me. The premiere episode was so densely packed with stuff that I can't wait for them to start unpacking it.
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
Filled with quick camera cuts, creepy music and sound effects, an ambient setting and intriguing characters, American Horror Story succeeds at transitioning horror to the small screen.
Newark Star-Ledger
James Queally
Aw hell, I'm not even sure which characters are alive or dead here. But I want to find out. And as long as you get me to episode 2, your pilot has done its job.
TV Fanatic
Matt Richenthal
I just need more for my viewing pleasure than a furrowed brow. The aim of a series can't be solely to leave viewers asking WTF at the end of every episode, or, heck, every scene.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
I think that what's most exciting about the series at this point is that it's clear that the house has many stories to tell and that one can assume, having just seen brief glimpses of the madness, that it's going to be a hellacious ride.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
It's rare to get an utter fiasco on television, but American Horror Story is one, and on that level, at least, it should be treasured.
