American Horror Story: Coven

Recently one of my favorite television shows had finished its third season. American Horror Story has had three fairly successful seasons so far. It will be having a fourth and is in the process of production. This third season is being argued as the best of the two before it. Now, this season of American Horror Story or "AHS" for short, was based in todays New Orleans, Louisiana and follows the superstition of witch craft. But in Louisiana, voodoo is another craft that is highly influential among the population of African Americans. The witches and the voodoo queen along with her followers clash throughout the season in an attempt to rid each other out and be all ruling. The first season of AHS was based in California's famous "Murder House". It created a storyline around events and crimes that were supposedly committed in the house. The main characters move into the house unknowingly aware of its history. They encounter people that just appear in the house and we later find that if you die in the house, you become apart of it and are doomed to inhabit it for eternity. Therefore, all the previous owners are either the murderers or have been murdered and this causes for concern because everyone who lives in the house, falls under the same fate. Season number two of AHS takes place in Briarcliff Mental institution in Massachusetts. This season had a large amount of story lines due to the fact that the show follows dozens of characters such as the doctors, nuns and patients at the institution. The devil haunts the institution and conflicts the beliefs of the employees along with the patients, who already are doomed by their own flaws, urges, mental instabilities and handicaps. The doctors and nuns are also highly infiltrated by evil and make Briarcliff a place of fear and one massive moral dilema for everyone. American Horror Story is a phenomenal show that goes above and beyond the dynamics of other television programs because it is in its own genre of television.
