American Horror Story Series One (2011)

Those of you who have not seen the FX hit series American Horror Story. We envy you!! Furthermore, if you are on mid-term then this is the series you should be cosying up to watch. Close over the curtains, warn everyone to leave you alone and surround yourself with any food you might need. Because once you begin your journey through American Horror Story you may not ever want to leave your screen. Be warned; this series is addictive as hell.

The Cast

Dr. Ben Harmon

Violet Harmon

Vivien Harmon

The Harmon family (above). Dr. Harmon has an affair back in Boston and in a bid to keep his wife Vivien and daughter Violet, uproots to LA to make a fresh start. Vivien sets her heart on a beautifully restored 1940's house which is a bargain considering its location and decor.
Soon after moving into the dream house, their lives become worse and worse until eventually they are living a nightmare.
They encounter an array of characters who all have connections to the house. Each character has a gripping history which lures us in. But you'll have to watch and see for yourself why these characters are so captivating.


But what keeps us wanting more?

Tate Langdon

Well for the girls who like their men on the mysterious side then Tate Langdon (above) will have you drooling like a puppy. Tate falls madly in love with Violet. Their love story makes Twilight's Bella and Edward's look like a walk in the park.

I guarantee you will fall in love with Tate Langdon even if you don't want to.

So many characters and so many stories all centered around the house. It's a vortex for anyone who enters. Watch and witness how the house swallows its prey like flies.

Some catch the Stolkholm Syndrome and become loyal to the house. I know that by the end of this series a part of me felt emotionally attached to the house.

The Harmon's maid

This series grabs you from the get go. It grabs a hold of you. Don't just take my word for it. IMDB rates it 8.3. Too low in my opinion but a respectable score all the same.

Tuesdays 10pm on FX

Only downside is that the next series Asylum is set somewhere completely different and the cast take on different characters. It's UK premiere is Tuesday 30th October (tomorrow) at 10pm.

We are most looking forward to reviewing it.
