so i’ve seen some people having concerns regarding the pyramid rankings. i wanna say it was not an intention of mine to rank Delphine the real life person above some of the characters. the entire reason why i love the Delphine scenes is because of Kathy Bates. her performance is amazing. I definitely did not do enough to specify that my support for her comes from my love of her as an actor. maybe i shouldn’t have done the pyramids in hindsight. it was definitely not my intention and I’m sorry it comes across that way.
I personally don’t see a problem with the pyramids. I enjoyed the different set up & it was a cute call back. I completely understood that you were talking about the CHARACTER on the SHOW & how fantastic Kathy Bates portrayed Delphine. You could’ve given more context about the particular scene or situation that made you place her higher on the pyramid at times but please don’t get rid of doing the pyramid if it’s appropriate for the season. I feel like it was obvious that you weren’t trying to glorify anything bad that Delphine did on the show or real life but it never hurts to repeat that point throughout the video. lol do you boo boo! I am obsessed & binging all of your videos now! 😘❤😍
In fairness, it's not like you didn't explain that right at the beginning of the video, pretty sure you got complained at by people who wanted something to complain about more than people who were genuinely upset
Anyone who took it to mean the actual person needs to get offline and go touch some grass because that’s ridiculous. We’re talking about the fictional character portrayal and that was very obvious. Some people are just angry to be angry because they have all this excess energy they could be spending on actual advocacy but instead they’re just being lazy and vile to people minding their literal own business.
Maybe it’s because I’m black but I definitely saw Queenie switching sides as a powerful moment for her. Delphine did not deserve any grace at all after torturing and dismembering innocent slaves. Bottom tier of the pyramid for me
yeah i love that she found a community with Marie but at the same time why does that have to be at the expense of her friendships with the witches? i dont know i love queenie but it’s like confusing why she wanted to turn on her friends out of nowhere. worked out in the end when they all joined forces.
@@yahellaghettortatataa9535 i love queenie but like i said before this is the fault of the show runners for not including the actors of color in the main cast. Angela Basset and Gabourey Sidibe should’ve been considered starring actors. but the season kinda portrays them as villains at times which is why they sometimes find their way to the lower end of the pyramid. like i said before i love 10/12 of the characters. almost equally so it’s very hard to rank them especially when they aren’t given equal screen time if that makes sense.think it’s more frustrating to me to see a character i love kinda be written to be perceived as a villain when i wouldn’t immediately say they were. though i probably should’ve articulated that instead of saying i had beef with her.
I mean , they were her “friends” but most of the other girls really did not treat her well. Like at all . So I also get it like a lot . Madison especially is awful to her. And no one really recognizes her as worthy.
@theabifro1742 i mean from my pov like zoe and nan and cordelia were great to her. however, i am white so i cannot relate to being the only poc in a room and feel how isolating that can be. i wanna say it does make sense for her to change sides with marie. but i felt like the way it was presented was wrong like putting them against each other wasn’t a great idea. and that’s on madison too. they should’ve toned the madison beef with queenie down. and the moment of queenie killing the witch hunter is so cathartic. i had a whole section of the recap i cut out where i talked about how well done the scene was but i cut it out because it sounded performative coming from a non black person imo. but that whole scene still gives me goosebumps and gets me very emotional. anyway i do regret some of the language i used surrounding the situation.
I don’t know how true this is but I heard that Evan Peters asked to stop being cast as bad characters (Tate, Kai, what’s his face from Hotel) because it was taking a toll on him
I genuinely hate the fact that Zoe's personal hell was just her and Evan Peter's character (literally forgot his name) breaking up over and over, I hate that so much and I understand that shes so in love with him but, girl get a grip he wouldn't leave you even if you wanted him too. What I don't understand is why it was written like that, It seems very shallow especially cs homegirl was just slaying zombies not too long ago. If it was her LOSING him, as in like he died somehow that'd work way better than wtv we got...
it pissed me off because like without him she basically has no character but like the zombie thing and also her killing spaulding was ICONIC and everything else with her is just bland bc she’s in a storyline with kyle. 😭. they could’ve had her personal hell be something to do with constantly killing kyle with her magic or something. but like GIRL bye him leaving is not a valid fear. 😭
@@cainvarner FORREAL I feel like as good as this season is, some characters and storylines (Zoe, Kyle and the "love triangle" they had with Madison) fall very flat, it's almost as if they're half assed. They lack emotion, cs I felt way worse for Tate and Violet and they were messy but their love was written with passion unlike Kyle and Zoe.
Ryan Murphy absolutely ran out of ideas and fell back on the tired “boy trope.” I like to think Zoe’s actress brought more nuance to the character in her performance and natural compassion, but she could only do so much with what was in the script.
I think it's understandable in a way and I thought they did that as like a reminder she's still a teenager at the end of the day and things like this could feel like hell to a person who's hormonal and have heightened emotions like a teenager. They probably didn't think it through that much but this is my perspective about it.
this season is so good that despite AHS taking the downturn that it has, it's still one of my favorite shows of all time because of these MOTHERS!!!! This season is just the reverse bechdel test in the best way possible because the two most prominent male characters liiterally cant talk.
Thanks for your hard work. This is a slay. My only note is that I wanted to hear you reenact "BALENCIAGA" and "Surprise b*tch, bet you thought you saw the last of me."
@RealBradMiller personally NYC is one of my favorite seasons. I would say top three or four. No one seems to get it and it’s really frustrating. Delicate so far is like number seven or eight it’s not the worst season I’ve seen. But I definitely think it’s a little rushed due to the strikes.
thank you guys for all the support on this series!! first of all i just wanna say this means so much to me, i have been planning this series for a literal year and as it was getting closer i always wanted people to watch and connect with it but i obviously didn’t know how many people would like it! make sure to subscribe and turn on the bell for updates and new videos!! i’m going to take a break from AHS after Freakshow(coming Halloween) to do a video on Once Upon a Time and then i will return to AHS in the new year!
tbh (as a black person) in no way did i get any sort of weird feeling for putting Delphine where you did. i thought it was so clearly you ranking based off of PERFORMANCE… not because you agree with her beliefs but hey what do i know… just think some people really reach💀 love the videos!!
Ikr??? They even specified over and over what a terrible person she is but they love Kathy Bates not the character like idk I can understand if it personally doesn't vibe with people, I definitely can admit Kathy slays but I don't really like the character, the same way I can admit Jessica Lange and Emma Roberts slay but I don't like their characters, for me the bitch vibes were enough to lean into dislike yanno, so for me Delphine's abhorrent actions and racism was enough for me to personally not like her but you can't blame people who come to COVEN especially for the camp! Like the actors are amazing and all these ladies serve and if that's enough for people to love their /performances/ I get it. Idk def weird how quick people were to assume they was deliberately turning a blind eye to the racism when it was stated MANY times that they were fully aware and not cool with that part lmao
I feel weird ab it, bc it’s still fcking weird for her to be so high on the pyramid, regardless of “camp” factor. Like, extremely overdone & dramatic racism isn’t “camp,” it’s not fcking funny or “cunt” or any of the other worn out words they used. Idc how u try to spin it, the pyramid was in poor taste, intentional or not. Honestly, I love this video & the series they’re doing, but this wasn’t the season to make into a pyramid.
@@cristenkray5192 as a black person, its never that serious. kathy bates, while playing a real person, absolutely killed my performance. every time she was on screen i was enraged while watching the show- which means she's doing her fucking job right!!! doing this video in a pyramid format was the best way to go bc thats literally how the show feels. all the witches were fighting for the top spot at a certain point so it felt right. cain stressed time and time again that he likes her PERFORMANCE, not the character. fuckin chill dude

Thank you for doing all these recaps!! I live for horror but AHS relies so heavily on 🍇 as part of the plotlines that I simply ~cannot~ sit down and watch it in full so getting breakdowns and recaps and highlight reels like this is really nice
It’s true. I got so less than midway into hotel and just couldn’t do it. I watched 1984 because I love 80s horror, but even that was just d*ck jokes. Honestly, the show lost the plot pretty quickly and there’s no reason to have R-word, etc just for shock value
Coven is honestly really the best ahs season, it had it ALL - witches, iconic lines, Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, that one scene where Misty was beating Madison’s ass, the New Orleans setting, EMMA ROBERTS god that season was everything
First, you ate this UP and I've joined your coven. You pretty much captured all the things I LOVE about Coven and most of my complaints. This is by far the most ICONIC and beloved season of Ahs while being the most blatant example of Ryan and his writers' inability to maintain continuity, fill plot holes, build onto great plot points, and check their biases. I HATE that Angela and Gabby were not hired as full cast members and how the Black characters and their magic were treated with so little respect. How could they consult with Voodoo practitioners to recreate a fertility ritual but not ask them ANYTHING about their other spellworks?! HOW could they not research the LOA?! They reduced Papa Legba, who exists in numerous West African religions as the Keeper of the crossroads into a DEMON of all things. They introduced Marie Laveau as equal to, if not more powerful than the Supreme yet she was utterly powerless to stop a single witch hunter from eradicating her coven (That was so triggering to see even a magical community of Black people unable to escape a White man with a gun tbh). Why wasn't her home covered in centuries worth of protection spells?! Why didn't she and her coven fight back with magic AT ALL?! Why would someone of Marie's background choose to sacrifice Black babies instead of White ones (both are bad yall don't start) and why would a Deity that followed his people to the Caribbean and Americas during the slave trade even allow it?? Queenie joining Marie made sense because while she is a witch, her powers are Voodoo in origin, giving her access to both wellsprings of magic. Also as the only Black girl in the coven she didn't feel like she truly belonged. I wish they showed scenes of Marie teaching Queenie Voodoo, and more scenes of Queenie using Voodoo. Her relationship with the coven girlies was one of proximity (at first) but I hated how nasty she was to Cordelia. I wish they ended Coven with Queenie rebuilding the Voodoo witches while also being a liaison between the Voodoo witches and the coven witches. Lastly (I know lmao) what TF was that power Zoey used against the zombies that scared Marie and why didn't they do anything else with it???
I mean I'm not surprised sadly many shows like ahs will use witch craft/voodoo/paganism in their shows but won't do much actual research into it at all
I remember disliking Zoey so much that I refused to call her like that and call her Violet cuz she's Violet but with magic and Mike is Tate but mute XD
This season quite literally is the reason I have a crush on Lily Rabe. That woman SLAYS so hard as Misty Day and she is just so iconic and gorgeous I adore her and I love Misty and her death will always kill me 😭 And I'm so excited for the Freak Show recap bc she's my favorite season (with Asylum a close second and Coven an even closer third)
This show feels like it was written by a writers’ room full of very young writers just out of school with lots of cool ideas but very little experience and severe ADHD. And it probably was because you can get away with paying them less. I wanted to love it so much, but it’s just okay overall. I wish they would have just dropped most of the ideas and focused on really developing just a few of them. Instead we get a scattershot of half baked ideas and tonal whiplash. Makes me sad when I think of how much potential it had..
Watched all three in one day while tackling some chores, this type of re-cap content is my jam lately and I was genuinely surprised and go to your channel and see that you didn't have like a billion videos. Very professionally and well done with great humor injected in, excited to see what else you put out!😊
thank you so much for these videos!! i had food poisoning and was bedridden for 2 days and watched your 3 AHS videos to help keep me sane! they were so good. you have an awesome personality. all of these characters are QUEENS!
The reason I like your recaps so much is because it feels like one of my friends is explaining their special interests to me and that honestly is so special! Keep slaying!
I…LOVE…THIS..SEASON!!! 🤍🔮🧹🤍 Part of my top 3 fave seasons! These videos give me life… Thank you for your time, energy and commitment to AHS, the magnificent gem of a show she is. 🥰
As a Black person. I was really rooting for Delphine to make a full turn around redemption arc. She was so close but it also wasn't surprising she relasped. She's a piece of sht but she did suffer alot for her sins already, so if she learned her lesson and actively chose to do good, especially in the black community. She could've made up for her pass deeds. But she dug her feet in ofc. I completely understand Queenie switching sides it was her moment. Though I agree her attitude switching was off. But it was a good thing overall. She did seem to learn alot from the voodoos and it made her more powerful. Not to mention now that the voodoos are gone, she can carry on the knowledge.
That’s why I do like the scene where Queenie confronts her in her old house; because she sees people being dragged on the news for doing stuff that she sees as Childsplay compared to what she’s done. Plus the whole “they’re only sorry they got caught” line is very insightful; did she really come to a realisation or was it that she had to play nice because she was surrounded by people that could make life hell for her?
I was rooting for her too 😞😞 not on some yte power bullsht but hoping she'd learn something valuable! I enjoyed watching her be tormented with the current integrated times and thought for just a second there that maybe, just maybe. They're like that though, unfortunately. I'm one of them, they tell me what they think and they get so so so close sometimes. Prejudice is a stupid choice.
The theme song to this season is my alarm clock song and the Freakshow one is my ringtone for incoming calls. Misty is my favorite witch in Coven. Everytime she danced to Stevie Nicks music, I would get up and dance with her. She was beautiful and a good person. I always thought that Madam Dalphine was witchy herself. She was basically using blood and glamour magick with slave blood.
since i put out the first part i’ve been gaining more so i dont know maybe soon i’ve have a lot👹 it has honestly been crazy to see the growth because when i started i had like 100 subs? maybe. but now i’m nearly at 800 2 weeks later so that’s crazy to me.
i just found your channel a few days ago and started your video on murder house and i am SO excited that now i have a series to binge! love your content!
I’ve always heard about this season but haven’t risked the potential tummy ache this show tends to give me (I get queasy and scared very easily). This was the perfect way to absorb this media! Love your vids!!
You're doing great. Thanks for all this work. Don't burn yourself out though. If you need a break, before after or during, go ahead and take a break. We'll be here when you finish each video.
Love this! I rewatch almost all the AHS seasons every year, sometimes twice! I think they drowned Nan to give Papa Legba a soul since she didn't have one. ❤
Coven was my starting point for AHS, so yeah, I'm probably biased regarding it. Love that you love it. Many early (as in by s7) rankings I saw usually put s3 at the bottom.
binged all of these the past two days, can’t wait for more! also please do a the 100 video!! it’d at least have one viewer😭fav show of all time and i have OPINIONS of how the show went and mr jason rothenberg destroyed it all
This was such a good trilogy of retrospectives, you can see your confidence grow with each one. I think the Queenie stuff was more nuanced than you gave it credit for but overall this was a great video. I hope we don't have to wait 7months for the next one... 😂 P.S. I watched a couple of your old videos and was going to finish them today but you privated them all!? 😭
After studying different kinds of witchcraft in college, the portrayals of Vodun/Vodou/Voodoo in this season (and most media portrayals) REALLY disappointed me. But I have to say, Kathy and Angela both were so amazing. Even at her age, Angela is really attractive. And as you said, this season is definitely the Mother Factory. As much as I hate the nosedive each season takes near the end, I might have to go re-watch this one for a third time
@@cainvarner oh I agree, it was just the spiritual/supernatural aspect in the show really gave it another layer of horror. In real life aspect, it was a horror movie too. Like so many of these monsters are actually based off real people and it’s just so… sickening to know they walk amongst us even today, maybe even more so.
Misty Day! Ah she was my favorite when I first watched the season as a teen. There was definitely a trope of Stevie Nicks flavored vampire/witch moments in my life around then when I used to read the House of Night series and watch AHS... bit cringe to talk about that as 27 year old adult, but c'est la vie.
so i’ve seen some people having concerns regarding the pyramid rankings. i wanna say it was not an intention of mine to rank Delphine the real life person above some of the characters. the entire reason why i love the Delphine scenes is because of Kathy Bates. her performance is amazing.

Lance Reddick was straight amazing as Papa Legba. I really did enjoy almost every character of this season. All the performers acted their arses off.

Coven is THE best season to this day, I love the series btw, you've been Fiona level amazing

This is by far the most ICONIC and beloved season of Ahs while being the most blatant example of Ryan and his writers' inability to maintain continuity, fill plot holes, build onto great plot points, and check their biases. I HATE that Angela and Gabby were not hired as full cast members and how the Black characters and their magic were treated with so little respect. How could they consult with Voodoo practitioners to recreate a fertility ritual but not ask them ANYTHING about their other spellworks?! HOW could they not research the LOA?! They reduced Papa Legba, who exists in numerous West African religions as the Keeper of the crossroads into a DEMON of all things.
They introduced Marie Laveau as equal to, if not more powerful than the Supreme yet she was utterly powerless to stop a single witch hunter from eradicating her coven (That was so triggering to see even a magical community of Black people unable to escape a White man with a gun tbh). Why wasn't her home covered in centuries worth of protection spells?! Why didn't she and her coven fight back with magic AT ALL?! Why would someone of Marie's background choose to sacrifice Black babies instead of White ones (both are bad yall don't start) and why would a Deity that followed his people to the Caribbean and Americas during the slave trade even allow it??
Queenie joining Marie made sense because while she is a witch, her powers are Voodoo in origin, giving her access to both wellsprings of magic. Also as the only Black girl in the coven she didn't feel like she truly belonged. I wish they showed scenes of Marie teaching Queenie Voodoo, and more scenes of Queenie using Voodoo. Her relationship with the coven girlies was one of proximity (at first) but I hated how nasty she was to Cordelia. I wish they ended Coven with Queenie rebuilding the Voodoo witches while also being a liaison between the Voodoo witches and the coven witches.
Lastly (I know lmao) what TF was that power Zoey used against the zombies that scared Marie and why didn't they do anything else with it???
I mean I'm not surprised sadly many shows like ahs will use witch craft/voodoo/paganism in their shows but won't do much actual research into it at all
I remember disliking Zoey so much that I refused to call her like that and call her Violet cuz she's Violet but with magic and Mike is Tate but mute XD
i honestly think those changes are much better.
his name isn't even mike, its kyle, he's just that forgettable this season 😭
You’re pumping these out so fast I feel blessed 🙏🏻🙏🏻
i was going to do 4 seasons per video but that would’ve been way too much
Kyle could have been replaced by a lamp and we would’ve lost nothing
This season quite literally is the reason I have a crush on Lily Rabe. That woman SLAYS so hard as Misty Day and she is just so iconic and gorgeous I adore her and I love Misty and her death will always kill me 😭
And I'm so excited for the Freak Show recap bc she's my favorite season (with Asylum a close second and Coven an even closer third)
“Cordelia blinds herself with gardening shears… Myrtle is just playing the theremin”
i said that?😭
@@cainvarner yes lol 😭 i can’t find the timestamp but the way you said it fucking killed me. unbothered queen Myrtle
This show feels like it was written by a writers’ room full of very young writers just out of school with lots of cool ideas but very little experience and severe ADHD. And it probably was because you can get away with paying them less. I wanted to love it so much, but it’s just okay overall. I wish they would have just dropped most of the ideas and focused on really developing just a few of them. Instead we get a scattershot of half baked ideas and tonal whiplash. Makes me sad when I think of how much potential it had..
most of the writers are and were very seasoned for the time
@@cainvarner dang well now I feel like a jerk
Watched all three in one day while tackling some chores, this type of re-cap content is my jam lately and I was genuinely surprised and go to your channel and see that you didn't have like a billion videos. Very professionally and well done with great humor injected in, excited to see what else you put out!😊
I love your delivery so much! I put your videos on to sleep and end up just watching them 😭
My favorite plot point of this season is that Zoe literally kills Charlie in a “freak accident”, moves away instantly, and it’s never investigated 😂
thank you so much for these videos!! i had food poisoning and was bedridden for 2 days and watched your 3 AHS videos to help keep me sane! they were so good. you have an awesome personality. all of these characters are QUEENS!
no. THANK YOU for watching them! hope you feel better girlie
@@cainvarner i feel so much better!! i cant wait for your freak show analysis, its the 1st season i ever watched and its so nostalgic to me!!
I’ve never clicked onto a video so fast. So excited
hope you enjoy!!!
@@cainvarnerI loved it thank you for taking the time to make it!! I love the green wand I feel like it should be a running thing
The reason I like your recaps so much is because it feels like one of my friends is explaining their special interests to me and that honestly is so special!
Keep slaying!
biggest compliment 😭
this is exactly what it feels like, i just found the mrder house video last night and ngl might rewatch the show cuz of this lol
that is so nice 😭
This season would’ve been perfect if they had let Cordelia and misty scissor lmfaooooo
I…LOVE…THIS..SEASON!!!
🤍🔮🧹🤍
Part of my top 3 fave seasons!
These videos give me life…
Thank you for your time, energy and commitment to AHS, the magnificent gem of a show she is. 🥰
it’s in the top 3 FOR SURE
As a Black person. I was really rooting for Delphine to make a full turn around redemption arc. She was so close but it also wasn't surprising she relasped. She's a piece of sht but she did suffer alot for her sins already, so if she learned her lesson and actively chose to do good, especially in the black community. She could've made up for her pass deeds. But she dug her feet in ofc. I completely understand Queenie switching sides it was her moment. Though I agree her attitude switching was off. But it was a good thing overall. She did seem to learn alot from the voodoos and it made her more powerful. Not to mention now that the voodoos are gone, she can carry on the knowledge.
That’s why I do like the scene where Queenie confronts her in her old house; because she sees people being dragged on the news for doing stuff that she sees as Childsplay compared to what she’s done. Plus the whole “they’re only sorry they got caught” line is very insightful; did she really come to a realisation or was it that she had to play nice because she was surrounded by people that could make life hell for her?
I was rooting for her too 😞😞 not on some yte power bullsht but hoping she'd learn something valuable! I enjoyed watching her be tormented with the current integrated times and thought for just a second there that maybe, just maybe. They're like that though, unfortunately. I'm one of them, they tell me what they think and they get so so so close sometimes. Prejudice is a stupid choice.
The theme song to this season is my alarm clock song and the Freakshow one is my ringtone for incoming calls. Misty is my favorite witch in Coven. Everytime she danced to Stevie Nicks music, I would get up and dance with her. She was beautiful and a good person. I always thought that Madam Dalphine was witchy herself. She was basically using blood and glamour magick with slave blood.
these recaps are BEGGING me to do a rewatch ( also love the commentary lol)
This season specifically did something to my brain when it first aired and ive never been the same since 💅💅
I’m living for this series you’re so talented 💜
thank you omg 😭
i cant believe u dont have more subs ur genuinely so funny and ur content is GREAT i've loved the first two parts so much already so excited to watch
since i put out the first part i’ve been gaining more so i dont know maybe soon i’ve have a lot👹 it has honestly been crazy to see the growth because when i started i had like 100 subs? maybe. but now i’m nearly at 800 2 weeks later so that’s crazy to me.
21:03 Spalding taking Madison's body up to his room and making her into his doll makes so much sense because his father was obsessed with dolls
i just found your channel a few days ago and started your video on murder house and i am SO excited that now i have a series to binge! love your content!
I’ve always heard about this season but haven’t risked the potential tummy ache this show tends to give me (I get queasy and scared very easily). This was the perfect way to absorb this media! Love your vids!!
Bubs, I love it when your twangy accent comes through…love it! ❤️
watched both of the other recaps last night and just woke up to this, this vids are amazing keep up the good work!!!!
You're doing great. Thanks for all this work. Don't burn yourself out though. If you need a break, before after or during, go ahead and take a break. We'll be here when you finish each video.
STOPPPP I loved Kyle noooo he was precious
regardless this video was a supreme serve
I was waiting for this one, Coven is my favorite season! You are doing amazing sweetie!
This is my comfort channel
Quite literally been binging this series. You're doing amazing, keep up the fabulous work!
I’m literally eating these videos up like they are BREAKFAST cain you are mother providing for her children
god this is my most watched season, I love all the performances as well as Fiona/Myrtle/Madison/Marie being so quotable
i’d say this and Asylum have the most rewatch ability
Love this! I rewatch almost all the AHS seasons every year, sometimes twice! I think they drowned Nan to give Papa Legba a soul since she didn't have one. ❤
This is the type of content I look for. Madison is will be mother to me
You are making these so fast it's amazing
oh trust me it’s taken longer than it may seem ;)
My favourite season. I'm so excited to listen to this at work tomorrow!
Wonderful video I loved the pyramid idea keep up the great content!!!
I’ve been binging your American horror storie videos and I absolutely love them, Thankyou for this amazing content and keep up the good work 😄😃
Crazy how I have a short ass fucking attention span yet I can sit through content like this in one sitting
i just finished coven and i needed a recap video to process what i just watched, thanks, definitely my favorite season so far
You know who really slayed? You, my friend. You.
A Motherquake felt around the world
i am so olivia wilde head nodding to all of these ahs videos!!! we see u and all of the effort!!
thanks girlie 👹
i love your comedy so much it makes it so easy to just watch your recaps
Omg, I love your recaps of my favorite show! Of all AHS, Coven,& Asylum r my favorites!
getting off work and seeing this was posted RIGHT after i just finished the first two.... truly magical
thanks 😊
Coven was my starting point for AHS, so yeah, I'm probably biased regarding it. Love that you love it. Many early (as in by s7) rankings I saw usually put s3 at the bottom.
binged all of these the past two days, can’t wait for more! also please do a the 100 video!! it’d at least have one viewer😭fav show of all time and i have OPINIONS of how the show went and mr jason rothenberg destroyed it all
THANK YOU SO MUCH I was bringing your other two and praying for coven and here it is literally the next day Thabk you
you’re so welcome girly. freakshow is coming halloween night !!!
I actually cannot wait for that, hope you don’t feel burned out!
Omggg, i have never watched ahs, but your recaps make me love it!
For you not to mention the presence of Miss Patti Lupone as part of this cast is the real scandal
i do though if you watch! she’s not on the board because she’s not in 8 or more episodes
This was such a good trilogy of retrospectives, you can see your confidence grow with each one. I think the Queenie stuff was more nuanced than you gave it credit for but overall this was a great video. I hope we don't have to wait 7months for the next one... 😂
P.S. I watched a couple of your old videos and was going to finish them today but you privated them all!? 😭
they were bad 😭💀😭
@@cainvarner they were adorable! Baby gay shouting about horror films is a MOOD 😂😂😂 bring them back!! 😤😂😂😂
I’m loving these detailed recaps!! This season is my favorite along with the murder house/coven cross over later on 🥰
i have been waiting for thisssss omg coven slays in every aspect
THESE VIDEOS ARE SO LONG AND AMAZING and this is by far the best season youre so right
well asylum is the best but this one is the cvntiest
You have blessed us once more, thank you sir
“Jojo, you got fifth overall, you’re fifth on the pyramid, sometimes you act like a five year old. Maybe five is your lucky number, or not so lucky.”
yes yes good soup, thank you for the upload, and for feeding my long form content addiction
I am LIVING for these recaps 😍
I literally discovered your other videos today and subscribed immediately
thank you so much 😭 all this support means so much to me to see everyone share my hyper fixations😭
obsessed w these videos! ur amazing
After studying different kinds of witchcraft in college, the portrayals of Vodun/Vodou/Voodoo in this season (and most media portrayals) REALLY disappointed me. But I have to say, Kathy and Angela both were so amazing. Even at her age, Angela is really attractive. And as you said, this season is definitely the Mother Factory. As much as I hate the nosedive each season takes near the end, I might have to go re-watch this one for a third time
“Madam” LaLaurie was horrible in real life as well. And Queenie deserved better.
she was actually worse irl than in the show 😭
@@cainvarner oh I agree, it was just the spiritual/supernatural aspect in the show really gave it another layer of horror. In real life aspect, it was a horror movie too. Like so many of these monsters are actually based off real people and it’s just so… sickening to know they walk amongst us even today, maybe even more so.

I’m so excited for your next upload, Freakshow is my absolute favorite season.
Delia has always been my fave for some reason (but she was constantly going thru it for whattt 😭😭)
Love you and your videos! Very entertaining.
i keep coming back to this vid bc im too busy to actually rewatch coven
Finally someone who hates Kyle and Zoe’s love triangle arc just as much as I do, perhaps. Mhmm. 🖤
“When I was 13 and watching this show for the first time” 💀😭 I’m here for you if you ever need to talk hunni 🫶🏼
The first time I saw Patti LuPone and Jessica Lange sharing a scene together I literally screamed
misty day was robbed fr
i miss her everyday.
I’d make a “perhaps” counter but I’m too lazy. Slay video as usual
“perhaps” “so” “we get a scene” “so we see” there’s a lot you could do 😭
i've been waiting for this one! turn it up!
Misty Day! Ah she was my favorite when I first watched the season as a teen. There was definitely a trope of Stevie Nicks flavored vampire/witch moments in my life around then when I used to read the House of Night series and watch AHS... bit cringe to talk about that as 27 year old adult, but c'est la vie.
