American Horror Story: Cult Episode 10 "Charles (Manson) in Charge" Review

Kai begins to unravel as he starts to suspect a traitor in his ranks.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything turned out. I really like what they did with the ideas of Kai slowly going insane and how everyone dealt with that in their own ways. And I really like how Ally dealt with it with her sort of working with his hallucinations to stay on his good side and working with him when he had the idea that there is a mole amongst the ranks. But then Winter was sort of on the flip side where is she was trying to get Kai back into the right mindset and trying to distance herself from him to keep herself safe. And I just really enjoyed that whole conversation between Kai and Winter where they’re talking about how they’re always going to stay a family and Winter bring up that once the members of The Cult get what they want to leave him so he has to always remember that she will be the only one who truly sticks by his side. And just how all that turned out was really amazing to watch and see the twists and turns of that whole relationship. Then I really enjoyed all the ideas that they serve took from the Charles Manson Murders and how they sort of took all the ideas that he did in his murders were he was trying to get them to be blamed on other people that weren’t him, and Kai took those ideas and he’s doing with similar sort of way to try and commit a bunch of murderers and blame it the senator he’s running against. The ending of this episode was so great with it being revealed that there actually was a mole and that Kai wasn’t fully hallucinating and I’m just really curious to see how all that’s going to turn out now that Ally knows who the mole is. And just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 8 "Winter of Our Discontent" Review

Ally confronts Kai meanwhile Winter must choose between Kai and Beverly when he makes a questionable decision.

This was a really amazing and entertaining episode that was so great to watch and see how everything was done and what all might happen going forward. And I really love that most of this episode revolved around Winter and her dealing with everything that's going on with Kai and her trying to decide if she is going to stick with her brother because he's her brother or if she's going to go with Beverly and try and protect herself. And I just really loved how she dealt with everything that Kai sort of threw out to her and how she sort of evolve to settling on that her brother really is out of hand with him making all these decisions to try and keep the cult going after he dies because he fully thinks that he's going to die at some point. And then I really loved the moment when Winter has to face off against the detective and she sort of harkens back to the last episode was Valerie Solanas and she tries to get the detective to call himself a turd and she calls him scum and does all this different stuff was just really amazing to see her finally sort of start to stand up for herself and making decisions for herself. And then the moments with Beverly or interesting with how everything ended and how it all sort of interconnected back to Winter because at the beginning of this episode Beverly made the comment to Winter that she had so much time to try and get her brother back on the right track otherwise Beverly was going to go and kill him so how old it turned out was just really amazing. Then the moments with Ally were really great with her whole conversation with Kai and her trying to understand why he's doing what he's doing and the fact that she joined the cult in this episode to try and get back her son and trying to get back everything that she wants makes me really excited to see what's all going to happen between Ally and Ivy in the next episodes. Then Kai's older brother's whole story makes me really curious to know what he actually had planned whether it is what Ally said that his brother really had a plan which was that he wants to try and have all these documents saying that he was trying to get Kai committed for insanity as a way that once Kai's plans eventually fail he will have a backup to say that he knew about it and he tried to stop it or if his older brother was actually genuinely trying to help Kai all that I'm really interested to know more about but with how this episode ended I don't think that's going to happen. And then just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode that you really need to watch to fully understand what all happened in what's all going on.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 7 "Valerie Solanas Died for Your Sins: Scumbag" Review

Kai begins to solidify his grasp on power; Bebe Babbitt, the former lover of the first female cult leader Valerie Solanas, who warns Beverley, Ivy, and Winter about Kai.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was so great with the way they decide to do with storyline and I really love what they decide to do with Valerie Solanas and I don't know much about her so I don't know what's true and what isn't and I just really liked this whole thing around the Scumbag manifesto. I was a little confused around the whole Scum murders because I thought Twisty the Clown was the Zodiac killer but I could be wrong because the Freak Show season is the one I'm least familiar with. But even so, the whole episode revolving around Valerie's slow descent into madness was really great with how everything was shown. Then the moments with the girls starting to turn their backs on Kai was really great and with how this episode ended I'm really curious to know what all Kai actually has planned. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and amazing episode and I can't wait to see what they will do next. 

American Horror Story Cult Episode 6 "Mid-Western Assassin" Review

Ally takes Meadow to Dr. Rudy to confirm her story about the cult; An unexpected opponent runs against Kai in the city council election.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that was really enjoyable to watch and see how everything turned out. It was really interesting to see how everything was re-edited because this was the episode that was going to have a shooting scene be readjusted to pay respect to those affected by the shooting that took place in Las Vegas. And you could see that re-editing at some points where they would randomly cut away to the American flag and stuff so it was interesting to see all that done. Then I really liked the team up between Ally and Meadow and having Meadow explain more about the backstory of the cult. Which Meadow's reason for joining the cult was really great with her looking for someone to truly love her and Kai gave that love to her. Then I really loved who Ally chose who to alley with when it came to stopping the cult because she knew she couldn't go to the police and so she had to make friends elsewhere. Then the whole twist at the end of who the shooter actually was and what Meadow all had planned for Ally was just really great. And I really loved the somewhat of ending statement which was no one will believe the truth coming out of a crazy person mouth. And just overall this was a really great and entertaining episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.   
   

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 5 "Holes" Review

 

Beverly's journalistic integrity is called into question; Kai plans to broadcast a gruesome murder committed by the cult; Ally's phobias reach a new low.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that did a lot of going back where episode three left off but there is a bit of a gap in time between those two episodes. There were so many really cool reveals in this episode one of them being that yes Winter is a part of the cult, but it was shown that Ivy is a part of the cult which just blew my mind. And I'm very curious to see how all this is going to turn out because in this episode Ally found out the truth about Ivy when Meadow came to her looking for help. Then the parts with the cult were very interesting as there having the story jump back and forth through time as the group is progressing there skills and understanding more what they need to do to create fear in people. The main kill that the cult did in this episode was really great with them going after Beverly's boss so that she can more freely show some of the cult's activities on the news, and them just finding out all these secrets about Beverly's boss was really great. Then it was interesting with the cult and them realizing that now they have more power it is a lot easier to start getting rid of the weaker links, so it was interesting to start seeing them turn on each other. Then the part of the episode where it showed Kai's supposed backstory was really great and I kind of hope that he is lying. Because before he started talking it was commented that he has made up a lot of different stories about himself and I kind of hope this is another fake one and someone figures that out and goes into the locked room to find no bodies. Then I really enjoyed the revealed of even more members of the cult where it was shown that the detective is a member as well as Ally's therapist but the therapist isn't just a member he is also Kai's older brother. And just overall this was a really great and interesting episode and I'm so excited to see where they will go from here.

American Horror Story: Cult Season 7 Episode 4 "11/9" Review

Kai begins recruiting members for his cult; Beverly struggles to stay ahead of a young reporter willing to do anything to become an anchor.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that I found it kind of weird that they decided to put this episode in now as the 4th episode but I still enjoyed seeing what everyone was doing leading up to the first episode. It was also a little weird how they set everything up where the episode started out the day of the election where everyone was going out and voting and then it went back like several weeks before that day and slowly lead back up to that night. I really enjoyed that a lot of this episode was dedicated to Kai and him working on gaining all his followers and stuff. And it was really interesting how they decided to do that where he became really close friends with people and said things like he will always be there to defend them and the people they felt like they need to always be there for him too. I really enjoyed seeing all the different parts to this cult he's building be put in place where it is shown Meadow making the clown costumes the killers wear and Kai first making the smiley face left behind at the crime scenes. I liked how Ivy came into play in this episode where she and Winter sort of randomly came into contact with one another and they worked together to stop a Trump voter from voting. And then Kai sort of had to go in a fix everything that Winter did to fight against him. Which makes me wonder how Winter fits into everything did she originally fight against the cult but the deal she made with Kai be if Hilary won she didn't have to join but it she lost Winter had to join the cult. I was really weird how they decided to introduce this episode now as the 4th episode because the last episode left off at a cliffhanger and this episode didn't mention anything about the last episode. But this was still such a great episode because it did so much clearing things up that it didn't fully matter that much. But hopefully, the next episode will pick up where the 3rd episode left off. But overall I have to say that this was a really amazing episode and it was so interesting to watch and I just want to know more.   

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 3 "Neighbors from Hell" Review

Ally deals with the fallout from the shooting of Pedro.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of picking up where the last episode left off and I really sort of enjoyed seeing how they filled out the story more and made more connections and started clearing out the mist and making stuff make more sense. I did enjoy seeing what they did with the ideas of what the repercussions were for Alley after shooting Pedro which is so many people who have turned on her and put her out there as the villain and that she's doing this because she's racist and she's doing this because of all these different things. But I feel like they are focusing more on the idea of her being racist and I feel like if it was really in the media that something like this happens the media would focus more on the ideas of her being crazy because I feel like how she was acting and how freaked out she seemed about everything the media comments would be "why would you give absolutely insane person a gun." And then and all the scenes with the neighbors and Ally where interesting like with Ally dealing with them after what happened to Pedro and then calling her racist than really sort of drilling in what she did and how it was wrong was interesting to see how it just finally sort of made her snap and she turned absolutely hate them and everything that they were doing was really just out to get her and help to make her seem like this completely monsters person and that was interesting to see how that eventually all turned out and just seeing what was actually sort of going on with the neighbors was interesting to see two of them. Then I find it really kind of interesting what they're doing with the whole detective that has been popping up with all these different stuff going on and now he's hanging out with the neighbors. I really liked seeing how everything seemed to connect back to Kai because in this episode we now know that the neighbors are a part of his group and probably that goes to say the detective is also. So all that is a part that I can't wait to see get all cleared up more and see what is all really happening. It was also interesting how this killer clowns kind of changed up there tactics in this episode wherein previous episodes we saw them leave their little smiley face tag after they committed the murders but now there are placing them on peoples houses ahead of time to kind of say your next. And I do have to say just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I'm very curious to see where they will go from here. 

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 2 "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" Review

Ally, Ivy, and Oz meet the new neighbors. Kai runs for city council. Detective Samuels investigates a murder. A blackout terrorizes Ally.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that did a good job of building off of where the last episode left off but I would say that there wasn't a whole lot new stuff to this episode. Like the only new thing was the introduction of the new neighbors after the murder that happened at the end of the last episode these new people move into that house and they are a very interesting couple so I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen with them. And I really kind of enjoyed and found it interesting how as Oz is becoming more panicked and freaked out about what's going on around him he is relying more on Ivy then he is Ally so that was really kind of interesting to watch how all of them reacted to that. And then I really enjoyed how Winter tried to calm Oz down by telling him that the best way to know whether you're dreaming or not is to ask someone and I just really enjoyed how that came into play later in the episode. And then it was fairly interesting to see everything that happened to Ally and how she was still very freaked out but tried her best to live a normal life again even though a lot of stuff keeps happening to sort of ruin that. And then everything with Kai was really interesting with how he first put on this very like friendly persona but then as soon as someone sort of questioned what he was doing or what he was saying he got very aggressive. And I do really like how they continued off of doing what they did last episode which was playing with ideas of what is real and what isn't as well as in this episode sort of building off of a lot of like the internal fears that some people have that they don't want to show because I don't want to be perceived as racists or something like that. Then the ending of this episode was really great when the blackout happened and just all the different problems that came out of that with everyone just everyone really messing with Ally when she wasn't in the right sort of mind at all she was really freaked out and I'm just really curious to see what's going to happen after how this episode ended. So just overall this was a really entertaining really great episode and I can't wait to see where they're going to take this story.
