Yes, I didn't expect to enjoy either OB or Hannibal, and what pure wonder!
One thing I did like about PR was the Tim Gunn Save, which is interesting because he usually has such different ideas on the designs than the judges do. It could have gone really bad, but his pick was really delightful.
AHS... oh man. This season... there are things I like about it. I mean, the cast is 90% women. There are GONNA be things I like. But so much of the conflict is woman vs. woman, and not only that but white women vs. black women. The visuals are disgustingly racist, and that racism gets put into text several times. Even the attempts to be not-racist end up being racist. Partially to 'blame' is Kathy Bates STUNNING performance as like the worst, most cruel, racist in history. She plays a nuanced character, and the text wants you to sympathize with her. *smh* I think it could get better in the 2nd half, but jeez, I'm so underwhelmed. It isn't even scary.
