Today of course, I had to watch the Season 6 premiere of American Horror Story (AHS). This is an extremely popular TV series with each season being a completely new story/plot. Personally, my favorite seasons were the first two and I think they have fallen off since then. However, this season and its theme have been kept a complete secret, and frankly, even after watching I'm still unsure of the theme.
This season seems to be a replica of a ghost hunters type TV show where the "victims" of the attack/haunting narrate the story while they have "actors" reenact what happened. The theme seems to be "My Roanoke Nightmare". If you don't know anything about Roanoke and "The Lost Colony" here's a blurb on it and the link below to learn more:
"The Roanoke Colony, also known as the Lost Colony, was established on Roanoke Island in what is today's Dare County, North Carolina, United States. It was a late 16th-century attempt by Queen Elizabeth I to establish a permanent English settlement. The colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh. The colonists disappeared during the Anglo-Spanish War, three years after the last shipment of supplies from England. Their disappearance gave rise to the nickname "The Lost Colony." There has been no conclusive evidence as to what happened to the colonists." WIKI
This is based off of true events and the story has always terrified me. They made a scary movie in 2010 based off of this idea and putting it in modern times.. it was so creepy. 2010 Movie So I'm guessing they are using this theme and doing a "this colony was never lost" kind of thing. I'm pretty excited for this, I think its different and it a little bit scarier knowing it was based on the true events of the Roanoke stories. I felt like throughout the premiere I was definitely jumping and scared. Along with that, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.. which is just the kind of thing I like.
Although I don't know what the rest of this season is like, I'll rate the premiere.
My Rating: 9/10

I'm so looking forward to this season. But you're right. The seasons are either really good or not good. Personally I think they scared people with season two and then felt they had to tone it down alittle. Hotel was pretty great though, hopefully this one will be one of the good ones, although let's be honest since Jessica Lange left it's hard to watch anyway
