I haven't seen last nights yet, but last weeks I thought was a waste. Why set all those characters up and then move in others in the end? 

When you watch last night's, you'll get it.  Great episode.  Love the tie-ins with Coven and Hotel.

I knew Coven would be involved, but was very nicely surprised by the Hotel scenes.

I watched AHS last night. I agree it made sense as it was nice to get some back story and tie ins. I guess I still don't know the purpose of the first 2-3 episodes then? Why not just start the season with what we saw last week and just go all in on the warlocks v. witches? Why spend time with these two young kids, when they are straight dead now and maybe, maybe not, coming back? Did Sarah Paulson's character in the first 2 episodes serve any purpose? 

I also laughed when I saw the episode title because it reminded me of the SNL Church Lady just yelling, "Satan!"

This weeks episode was all basically a flashback.  I'm guessing next week we jump back ahead to current time and we may find out about it all.

I'm 6 episodes in to the second season of Man in the High Castle now. It's getting very interesting.

I enjoyed the 2nd season more than I thought. 

I totally forgot season 3 was dropping soon. I'll catch it in a week or so.

Finished season 2 on Saturday. I thought the season finished very strong. Looking forward to starting season 3 soon.

We've also been watching through the first season of Black-ish on hulu. Very funny show.

Watched AHS last night and nope, they stayed in flashback mode, which is fine. I actually love this season now. Bringing back all the Coven characters, including Stevie Nicks! was great. Also, Murder House time! I still just don't get the point of the first 2 episodes. I would rather have spent time with these characters than the ones we saw in the first two episodes. But, maybe it will all blend together in an episode or two.

Usually the show ties everything together in unexpected ways, even for "minor" characters; if not this season, maybe they'll have some use for them next season. Who knows? AHS always keeps their audience on their toes with this stuff.
Will we see any Freak Show/Cult/Asylum characters or do you think we've had enough tie-ins?

Yeah, I trust Ryan Murphy as there is usually a pay off and good tie ins and storylines. I'm not sure he can add in too many other characters as they are played by the same actors in spots. But, hey let's see the creepy ass clown.  

I started the Haunting of Hill House last night. I'm two in and really enjoy it. It has scary elements, but is not campy. 

I also started the Romanoffs. It's an ok show so far, a little long, but I'll give it a shot.

My besties have been telling me to watch Hill House for about a week now. But besides AHS and football season, I'm just not a sit in front of the tv kind of person. I'd rather do almost anything else 90% of the year. Who knows, maybe I'll have the whim one of these days, but I doubt it.

*edit to add*

I've seen the older versions but not this new series.

That may have been my favorite AHS episode ever.

Yeah I was thinking about this last night. Perhaps one of the episodes from Coven could compete, but I'm not sure which one I'd pick.

Yeah, I loved the AHS episode. It was great they were able to get everyone back from season 1. This season has been great overall, probably one of the best.

I'm three in and love it. I've found it has some good scares, but the story is actually legit too.

Goldbergs use to be one of my favorite shows but I find myself less & less interested each week. Too many episodes about how psycho the mom was.

Binged it all in about 3 days.  I had a couple of times where the hair on my neck stood up, lol.  The Bent Neck Girl episode was really creepy.
