American Horror Story: Apocalypse

As one can easily guess, American Horror Story: Apocalypse deals with the end of the world, and it's a welcome return to form for the show.

It also skillfully dovetails with not just one but two previous seasons, Murder House and Coven, arguably my two favorite AHS seasons.

Even though AHS feature standalone season-long tales, a tenuous arc is said to link all the seasons, but the arc is not often evident. Here it's obvious and works to great effect, making one long for those older stories.

When the world suddenly ends in catastrophe, a few survivors find themselves living in bunkers. The rules are strict, but what's the alternative?

Panic takes hold of the occupants when a visiting bigwig announces that their bunker is going to be shut down. Little is known about why and he's keeping his cards close to his chest.

Who will stand in his way? Is there anyone who can?

Grade - Season 8: 9
