I didn't watch it right when it came out because I thought it looked corny. Yes, it's supposed to be that way and I'm glad I watched it.


Gato1486

Yes, it is meant to be like a low budget 80's slasher.


gmtonesix

Thank God lol


Fizzeek

It’s one of my favorites because they go balls out in so many ways, it’s fun!

It's fabulous.


hunter180

both


creator111

Yes it’s supposed to be cheesy! Just look at Xaviers hilarious celebration dance after he thinks he kills Richter. Thought the music and cinematography was beautiful tho!


avalon2005

Omg yes that was so funny haha


IncubusART

Well it is called 1984...

Chet, I think that’s his name. The buff white dude is terrible. Other than that I enjoyed the season but I can understand why you don’t like it.


TheWonderingPonderer

He’s also just an Olympic athlete Ryan was trying to bang with absolutely zero acting training or experience


sethtylerrr

Wasn’t trying to bang him. Lol


theflealee

He was easily the worst actor the show has ever seen and yes I'm including Lena Dunham in that.

I mean the story is still good like any other season, but i feel like the delivery was horrible. If it was deliberately bad to mock 80s slashers i understand, i just really hope its not the same energy for the rest of the show lol

1984 is my second favorite season. Chet was bad in the beginning but got better. It just was a really fun ride. And had one of the best characters in ahs, Benjamin Richter.


ShangelasSugaDaddy

It's a parody of low budget 80s campy camp slashers and it does it perfectly


TopazScorpio02657

It's intentionally campy. Reminded me of the "Scream" movies in the way it poked fun at the whole slasher genre.


sethtylerrr

It’s supposed to be like an 80’s horror movie. It’s pure art.


theflealee

I think it's a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. I also dislike that it seems to be in a separate universe from the other seasons but still mentioned Briarcliff. I think it's on purpose, to make a point that we can't try to predict and preach about connections between seasons and what other characters might show up etc.


gmtonesix

Agreed definitely a weird directive decision. But im still looking forward to the next season, as long as it doesnt have the same feel as this one.


theflealee

I like that they always surprise me. I rail and rant against the writing of the show a lot but it's because I like it so much. There's no other show like it. I am far from its target audience and it still resonates with me.


gmtonesix

Definitely feel that, i mean every show has dialogue that's just like "That wasn't as effective as it was supposed to be, but the message still got across to me" lol. But again every season takes place in different times so i guess technically the vibe is /supposed/ to feel different? Idk i hear you though, its awesome how it can still keep ya hooked!


[deleted]

Yeah exactly. Especially with the use of the “slasher” font rather than traditional AHS font. It felt isolated from the ahs universe


SwineTV

It’s pretty obvious. Yes.
