The Axeman Cometh Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
We realized with this episode just how much time has been spent on ambience and quips and how little has been spent on storytelling or even envelope-pushing.
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
It's gruesome business, but it fits perfectly into Coven's twisted version of New Orleans.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
Though not a lot happened in total this week, we did get Madison back and learned the truth about Hank, which definitely is going to have a great affect on things going forward.
Nerdist
Patrick Goss
Not the strongest episode of the season, but enough fun and crazy stuff to keep me thoroughly entertained and excited for the next installment. This show rocks.

American Horror Story, you so crazy! I say that with love, by the way. So much happened in this episode, much of it entirely batcrap insane, that it took a while to digest it all. It was like going to a Vegas buffet of all-you-can-eat mucho nutso.
Rolling Stone
Halle Kiefer
It's so convenient when a historical serial killer's real-life purple prose is just as over-the-top and divaish as everything else on American Horror Story: Coven.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Rakesh Satyal
The look of delight, flattery, self-doubt, and passion on Fiona's face - just after a clump of her hair falls out - is as good as anything that Jessica Lange has done this season.

Price Peterson
Definitely the least eventful episode of the season so far. But that doesn't mean it was boring. No, in addition to setting up the season's various storytelling dominos, this episode kept us very entertained with BEAUTY and FLAIR and BUTTS.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
The addition of the Axeman worked well, and I especially liked that he immediately went after Fiona, rather than going after the other witches.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
In this week's episode of American Horror Story: Coven, memorably titled "The Axeman Cometh," an elegantly interlocking series of plot turns suggests a major character's undoing.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
The episode still managed to reveal Hank as a witch hunter, while also bringing Frankenkyle and Madison back into the fold.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"The Axeman Cometh," as with Ian McShane's killer Santa last year, allowed another superb elder actor the chance to play a murdering psycho on AHS. A fun step away from the central story.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
To me it felt like high-level mythmaking.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
Slow things down a bit for an episode that tries to give us some deeper character understanding-as this one does, I think, or hope, or don't know-and it becomes easier to realize just how weightless everything is.
Wall Street Journal
Cicely K. Dyson
At least Hank's story line has some purpose now.
