Monsters Among Us Ratings & Reviews
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
We got off to an alright start with this premiere. It lacked the excitement of premieres past, but I'm thinking that this season may crescendo rather than fizzle out...
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
The art direction here is the best it's ever been and absolutely should win an Emmy.
Baltimore Sun
Lacy Baugher
Freak Show already seems like a much more deliberate season than its predecessors.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
The premiere certainly has a tremendous amount of energy, but it's hard to tell whether or not the narrative will provide an appropriate outlet to release that energy or if it will wind up scattered and squandered like certain AHS stories of the past.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
I enjoyed the "back to basics" elements here with regards to home invasions, abductions, and murder being the core scary elements. Especially the fact that they're being committed by nightmare clown.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
Freak Show threw several balls into the air in its first hour-the nice girl from the Zodiac scene is being held captive by the clown, alongside a little boy; we haven't even gotten to Angela Bassett and Michael Chiklis yet.
AV Club
Erik Adams
"Monsters Among Us" goes the unexpected route: It's a season opener with a sense of patience. There's still plenty carnage to be had, but that comes in between scenes that establish characters and explore relationships.
Paste Magazine
Ross Bonaime
Every season has been filled with problems, but "Monsters Among Us" feels like Murphy is starting with a clean slate and fixing the errors of the past. Step on up, cause this Freak Show is off to a great start.
TV.com
Price Peterson
Unlike the first season's incoherent opener, Freak Show's was elegant, beautifully structured, and frequently astonishing. Also it was insane, obviously. And brilliant. And sad. But mostly insane.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
It's clear that creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have returned ready to play.
Observer
Drew Grant
My god, that "Life on Mars" number alone was worth the price of admission.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Moylan
The most innovative thing about this season so far is how it handles the visual language of depicting Siamese (question mark) twins.
