SEASON OVERVIEW:
There’s nothing warm and realistic about American Horror Story, the latest series from the creators and executive producers of Glee, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
The two play ducks and drakes with warbles and love stories to prepare a deeply disturbing adrenaline potion. Bent on mischief, they throw into the iron pot a few strange ingredients like ghosts, possessions, exorcisms, medical experiments, serial killers and, I kid you not, aliens. In the first chapter, retroactively titled American Horror Story: Murder House, the show focuses on the Harmons, a messed up little family of three.
A short time ago, they went through a bad patch. Hoping for a fresh start, Ben (Dylan McDermott, The Practice, Ally McBeal), a psychiatrist, his wife, Vivien (Connie Britton, The West Wing, Nashville), and their sulky teenage daughter, Violet (Taissa Farmiga, Higher Ground) decide to move from Boston to Los Angeles, where a tricky real estate agent steers them toward a beautiful old Victorian house. The mansion happens to be the former scene of torturous medical experiments and other atrocities and, some years after that, the murders of twin boys. Soon, the family realizes the place isn’t quite “uninhabited”… the home is haunted by the ghosts of its former residents.
The second season, American Horror Story: Asylum takes place in 1964 and follows the patients, doctors and nuns who occupy the Briarcliff Mental Institution, a Catholic establishment founded to treat and house the criminally insane. The ones who hold the reins of the institution are Sister Jude (Jessica Lange, A Streetcar Named Desire), her other self, Sister Mary Eunice (Lily Rabe, The Good Wife), and the founder of the establishment, Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes, Flash Forward).
The team of doctors charged with treating the patients at the asylum is composed of a former Nazi psychiatrist Dr. Oliver Thredson (Zachary Quinto, Heroes) and sadistic scientist Dr. Arthur Arden (James Cromwell, Boardwalk Empire). Briarcliff’s residents comprise lesbian journalist, Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson, Grey’s Anatomy), accused serial killer, Kit Walker (Evan Peters, The Mentalist), and alleged murderer, Grace (Lizzie Brocheré, The Hour).
