Freak Show Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
Some seasons of American Horror Story are better than others. American Horror Story: Freak Show seems to be the best yet, or at the very least, the best directed.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Murphy is in full ringleader mode here, the Barnum & the Bailey of television insanity.
Bitch Media
Kelsey Wallace
The problem with Freak Show is that the more we get to know these people, the less there is to like... Feak Show invites us to gawk at various people with disabilities and feel good doing it.
Slant Magazine
Justin Clark
Freak Show is an excuse for American Horror Story to let its freak flag fly higher and prouder than ever before.
Chicago Sun-Times
Lori Rackl
It feels like a Toulouse-Lautrec painting come to lurid life, complete with a killer clown who ranks as the scariest character on TV.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Like all great horror, it is willing to abuse its audience-which, in a perfectly Murphian turn, wants to be abused.
The New Yorker
Emily Nussbaum
Refreshingly, the season is also genuinely frightening, with at least one truly nightmarish vision per week.
Black Girl Nerds
Cameron Ferguson
Freakshow had everything I could ask for from American Horror Story; lots of blood, cringe-worthy horror, jaw-dropping moments..., and most of all a GREAT VILLAIN!
Newsday
Verne Gay
The appalling splendor is right there in credits. Credit sequences are an "AHS" specialty, but the FX franchise pretty much outdoes itself with this one.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
The first two episodes try to fake us into believing there's more here than meets the eye or ear with a lot of dramatic music, but it isn't enough to mask the series' deficiencies.
Showbiz Junkies
Rebecca Murray
If Twisty's not the most gruesome clown to ever exist in either a TV show or film, he's right up there in the top three.
ScreenCrush
Britt Hayes
Subtlety has never been creator Ryan Murphy's strong suit, but Murphy (who also wrote and directed tonight's premiere) seems to have fully embraced that approach, delivering what appears to be both the most horrifying and joyful season yet.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
Speaking of scary: There's a clown. And not just any scary clown, but the scariest clown ever, a gruesome killer with a huge smile hideous enough to make us apologize to any ordinary clown we ever called scary.
TV Line
Andy Patrick
The first hour - which took us to Jupiter, Fla., in 1952 to ask who really are the "Monsters Among Us," the freaks or those who misjudge them? - was stylish, shocking and irresistibly over the (big) top!
The Hollywood Reporter
Ken Tucker
Alas, I found it insufficiently lurid--slow-paced and obvious.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
There's an intentional disconnect to it all... [It] is certainly telling a weird story, but it's not all that scary and, worse yet, the characters are already launching into tedious monologues about civil rights for geeks
Variety
Brian Lowry
Where too many TV series become stale after a season or two, Horror Story has a proven ability to transform itself -- not just season to season, but also episode to episode and sometimes even scene to scene -- built into its creative DNA.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
Despite all the accumulated bodies, Freak Show is more style than story. But there's enough talent and intensity here for me to step behind the tent flap, to see if all this can cohere into something super freaky.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Freak Show... still has the high style we've grown to expect from the Horror Story creators, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who wrote the season premiere (directed by Mr. Murphy). And it still has plenty of clever touches in word and picture.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
So far, it is a lot of fun, so I'm definitely in.
