6 Reasons This Could Be the Best American Horror Story Season Yet

The first few episodes of the season seem to be a veritable roll call of new, exciting, and intriguing characters. Hypodermic Sally is enigmatic, and somehow completely unaffected by the hotel's horrifying monster. The Countess and Donovan make an unsettling yet sensational power couple. Liz Taylor is fierce as f*ck, but somehow more complicated than just the caricature you might peg her to be. Even Iris (Kathy Bates) makes the front desk an entertaining experience. As long as things don't get too crazy, it's going to be a fun ride.
