Bitchcraft Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
It's too early to have thoughts. In fact, having written up two full seasons of the show, we're this close to declaring that it actively works to prevent you from having thoughts.
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
The plot is all a bit melodramatic and the characters might be just a little too sassy, but simply put, it's a fun show.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
Overall, there are some cool threads that are started here in this episode, and director Alfonzo Gomez-Rejon brings a great eye in his direction.
Nerdist
Patrick Goss
I really, really liked this episode. The show seems like it's injected a good dose of "camp" into Coven, and I, for one, am happy about it.
HitFix
Liane Bonin Starr
I can't say this season, with this annoyingly Hogwarts storyline, seems as promising as I hoped it would be. But let's keep our fingers crossed (or say a little spell).

AHS: Coven's strength lies in its individual flawless images.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Rakesh Satyal
Aaaaaand that's one action-packed, satisfying, yet hurl-worthy episode.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have always constructed AHS's seasons as basically horror mixtapes, and the third time around feels just as fresh, ambitious, and insane as before, but with tighter construction and more instantly appealing characters.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
It was a solid premiere, and I think the more straight-forward approach bodes well for what the season will hopefully turn out to be if they don't get overly ambitious.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Like Asylum before it, Coven is immediately striking for how brutally it cuts to the bone of the subtext of alienation and subjugation that fuel the sources of Murphy and Fulchak's various riffs.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
With so many conversations the show clearly saw as significant being left unanswered, it seems Coven was regrettably content to simply point to problems without wanting to have a deeper discussion.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"Bitchcraft" was a good gateway episode for Coven, showing us a bit of magic, a bit of super-powers, a touch of voodoo, and a lot of misery.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
Co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk were in world-building mode, sketching out the sub-strata of Coven's witchy shadow civilization and crafting a set of narrative/thematic rules for their vision of witchcraft.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
The presentation remains campy, even as the material has shifted toward the deadly serious.
Wall Street Journal
Cicely K. Dyson
I'm gushing.
