“American Horror Story” thrills with first season finale
Kudos to FX’s “American Horror Story” for a splendid first season finale, as full of thrills and chills as each episode of this Golden Globe-nominated series has been.
SPOILER ALERT! Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen the finale.
Although it wasn’t too much of a stretch to guess that most of the Harmon family would not end up getting out of the house alive, I was glad Ben (Dylan McDermott) didn’t take the suicide route – but his demise was super shocking.
And, remarkably, instead of having the finale end with just a set-up for next season’s new family moving in, the writers went ahead and explored that territory and showed the Harmon family’s proactive moves to save the new family from their own fate.
Moira’s (Frances Conroy) allegiance with Vivien (Connie Britton), Violet (Taissa Farmiga) and Ben was a bit poignant, and the scene where they decorated the Christmas tree to the “Little Drummer Boy” music was especially clever, interesting and creepy all at once.
