In The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare famously states that ‘the quality of mercy is not strained’. In Ratched, Ryan Murphy strains just how far the quality of mercy can reach. Nurse Ratched is a character whose name strikes fear into many people’s hearts. She is a symbol associated with the dispassionate mental health system, a […] More

in Compelling CharactersElsa Mars: Stars Never Pay…Except When They Do
Elsa Mars isn’t a villain…except when she is. American Horror Story: Freak Show was my other favourite season. Who am I kidding? For me, that show was two seasons long, and they were this one and Asylum. Much as I love Freak Show, it had more than its share of flaws and a lot of […] More

in EpisodesAmerican Horror Story: 1984 – Camp Redwood
I can’t believe a whole year has passed by since the last season of American Horror Story was on our screen! After a strong start, Apocalypse quickly descended into a jumbled and rushed story that went nowhere at all much too quickly. I’ve had my fair share of issues with the last few seasons of […] More
