I've enjoyed FX's American Horror Story over the last 10 years. Still working to catch up to current on the newest season.

Generally speaking, I've found the plots to start off a bit slow in epi 1, get rolling along merrily to epi 5 or 6, then on occasion plummet in plot quality to wrap the season up. Good example of that would be the Freakshow season, which should have kept its "A" plot rolling for longer.

Here's one writer's opinion of their "favorite" AHS season rankings.  They're careful not to use the word "best":

9. HOTEL
8. ASYLUM
7. FREAK SHOW
6. MURDER HOUSE
5. ROANOKE
4. CULT
3. COVEN
2. APOCALYPSE
1. 1984

I don't agree.  Aside from the "you need to watch all the seasons in order" to fully appreciate the Apocalypse season, here's my "favorite" ranking:
 

9. CULT -- tried to watch it, gave up after 2 episodes due to total and complete boredom. Meh. I believe this opinion is supported by various online reviews
8. ASYLUM - didn't watch it, so can't put a ranking on it. I've heard it was fantastic
7. COVEN - didn't watch it, but the clips I have seen suggest I would have liked it a lot. Also heard it was fantastic.
6. FREAK SHOW - would rank this higher if not for the aforementioned weird plot pacing of the final episodes vs the initial ones. 
5. MURDER HOUSE - Solid beginning to the series, but thought subsequent seasons were executed better.
4. HOTEL - I enjoyed the Shining-like vibe of a haunted hotel. Weird and occasionally amusing.
3. ROANOKE - Found this to be more creepy than other seasons, liked the reality-tv conceit of the plot
2. APOCALYPSE - a bit sci-fi themed. found it more entertaining than I expected. Plus, it made the other seasons more interesting.
1. 1984 - just pure fun if you're looking for a Friday the 13th vibe.

So far, I'm enjoying the current double-feature season, would probably rank it in the 6-5-4 range, depending on how it plays out.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
