The finale of AHS Delicate has become the lowest rated episode in the history of AHS. It doesn't paint a good picture for the future of the show. Do you think it deserved that low ranking? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

The golden era of AHS has long since passed. The last several seasons feels like a completely different show from the latter. Where compelling bonechilling stories are replaced with a boring, cliche ai generated script.

1st part - Anna wanders around and is confused. Nothing really happens 2nd part - everything happens in 30 min fml...

Not having the Coven intervene, was just criminal. This would have been the PERFECT time to bring them back.

They've done this every show. They start off good and your interest is peaked and by the end of the season you're wonder wtf ?

AHS knows how to start a story, but has rarely been able to finish the story.

The final episode feels like a slap in the face for all fans. Especially after we've been kept waiting half a year for it. How can you build up such a solid framework and just let it all come crashing down in the final episode? It's never been this bad in any previous season. Wasted potential. I'm not even talking about the actors, I'm talking about the script. How can you fuck something up like that when you have a good book to work from? The changes could have been saved, then something good would have come out of it.

Cara was straight up cringry and embarrassing to watch. I couldn't stop just bursting out in laughter, especially in the final episode during all her scenes. Emma Roberts really carried this season on her back

Emma roberts, Kim Kardashian’s, Leslie grossman, Denis o hare- the level of camp we could have got. Missed oppurtunity

I think AHS still has potential to stay as a wonderful horror anthology we all fell in love with if they went back to their roots and focused on making a good story thats actually frightening.

I feel like longer a show goes on, it starts losing a part of what makes it special. AHS is very much like this, it lost Jessica Lange, Even Peters and Sarah Paulson, the storylines don't feel as good anymore and it has a lot of bad writing. It's amazing we got Emma Roberts back this season, but her character felt very... lacking, compared to her other parts in prior seasons. Also they ruined the season by shortening it and splitting the season up, AHS is very character story driven, 9 episodes isn't gonna cut it

I had to stop half way through episode 6 cause I was forgetting what was going on. Decided to re-watch 1984 and am blown away with how good that season was compared to newer season's.

They used chat gpt for the story

Ryan said he wants to make 13 seasons if he does he has to bring back Sarah, Evan, Lily, Frances all the original caat members just for the last season. AHS lost it's steam a while back but I believe bringing the original cast back would save it

A modern update of Rosemary's Baby is a super interesting idea, the execution of that idea was terrible!

Ending Explained from Reddit: In episode 7, the witches circle Adeline, Ivy says "You have no power other than what she gives you" then Sonia says "and takes away". So Adeline had power, it got taken away by Siobhan once she left the cult, which explains why the chant failed for her at the restaurant, because she didn't have power. Siobhan later gives Anna power when she accepts the baby and is given the green heels. Anna is able to cast the chant/ ritual at Siobhan with the power Siobhan gave her. The witches are bloodbound, and die together. Poor execution of the Finale overall. The writer put too much faith in the audiences to remember the lore (Ep7). And no recap for Part 1.

It was went downhill after Coven. The first 3 seasons were absolutely excellent!

This season was BAAAADDDD. I feel like Tyler Perry wrote it.

Tbh the finale didn’t feel like it was a finale at all. I didn’t even know the season was over until we didn’t get a new episode.

I think AHS needs the 13 episode runtime! Especially for seasons that are character heavy!

Anabelle Dexter Jones was brilliant, especially in Ave Hestia. Other from that, I agree with everything else said.

they killed the main bad off as easily as the apocalypse one lmao

I think American horror story should have chosen apocalypse as the series finale. For the final Season, I hope it does something like apocalypse, I hope it brings many beloved actors from the various seasons back for one last curtain call.

the first 3 seasons were gold. they started to get sloppy with the writing when hotel came out. hotel was decent. but it just got bad

They need to cancel this show. The writing on this show is the worst on TV. Especially compared to stuff like Midnight mass, them, and other shows.

They need to bring back the coven and then bring it to a close

every season i think how damn much i miss Jessica Lange

Casting Kim was the true American Horror story. Emma was the only spark that was bearable to watch but that spark burnt out fast

If AHS had a deal with Netflix, it would get cancelled already. First three seasons brought the whole show into the golden era because memes and internet culture. And don't forget Jessica Lange saved the whole show. Once when she left the show, it started going downhill. (The only moment I felt the good old AHS was some apocalypse moments, especially Return to Murder House, and Red Tide first 5 episodes)

I feel like the writer strike also hurt the show since nobody was working on their shows and the writers had to finish it up fast

I'm sure that all episodes were already written before starting the filming, it was not the WGA strike that stopped the season as you suggest but actually the SAG-AFTRA strike.

I felt like the first half of the season was pretty good. The second half was so disjointed from the first that I felt like I was almost watching a different show. I was so connected to the story and then got so confused - are we in the past? The future? The present? On a movie set? In Ireland? In NY? Also, I went from disliking Ryan’s character to looooaaathing him. I hope he never comes back… Siobhan was my favorite - Kim entranced me. Ps: Why the dolls? Still lost.

The best thing about Delicate was Roberts' acting. I really felt her frustration and despair at being tormented, gaslit, and not believed. Everything else sucked, which is sad because the season had so much potential.

I think Murphy has spread himself too thin with his other shows and isn't as invested in AHS as he was in the beginning. I tuned out after Roanoke, then came back for Part 1 of Double Feature and thought I give this season a chance. A mistake on my part. What they omitted from the finale was what was up with the 6,000 years reference that was made in the flashback to Mary Tudor? From that point in history (Tudor Era) 6,000 years ago would have been the BC era which gave some weight to Siobhan being Lilith or some other ancient being, but it was only mentioned once and never again. And they had said, "he had waited 6,000 years". He who? Satan? An ancient god? Some other deity? At least with the witches from Coven, they all brought some special ability to the group that helped the coven as a whole when required. None of these Delicates seemed to possess anything other than immortality, so don't know if they can be called witches, as it seemed Siobhan held all the power. They were just her minions who she worked through or who worked for her. Also didn't make sense why Siobhan would have approached a random Scottish woman, as Ivy didn't seem to offer anything. What set Ivy apart to have caught Siobhan's attention so many centuries ago?

Why AHS didn't work since Jessica Lange left. They should've cancelled like 5 seasons ago. 😩

I think AHS in general should have ended many seasons ago.. it's been getting worse and worse, this was my first time getting back to it after a few years. With that being said, I think Emma did one of her best acting gigs yet with this role. With all the negative stuff in this season, she was the true beacon of hope.

I couldn’t agree with this more. I wish there was more episodes of delicate. The ending left us all hanging😅

by chanting she actually gave in, seemingly to defeat , but she fulfilled that contract and is part of them now.

I just can't believe a show that started so strong has gotten to this point. It was basically Rosemary's Baby but with Kim Kardashian. And after i made that joke to my husband, the very next episode showed "Mia Farrow" filming Rosemary's Baby.

I think if they would’ve stuck with the book ending & the books version/reasons behind why the witches were doing what they were doing it could’ve worked. This was just trash.

Listen. Had they brought in the witches it would’ve been fuego 🔥. The show clearly knows we love the witches and the sprinkle of them in is what could save the series

the second part of double feature should've been its own season, the first part should've been the stereotypical vampires and made it camp asf it wouldve been so good and then they still could do zombies and sirens/pirates...or even fairies and all that shit but thats really straying away from "American Horror Story" ....they could do a season about native american folklore and all that and pay a little tribute to the indigenous people but im not sure how thatd go

I absolutely loved the earlier seasons of the series but I feel like it’s just lost it’s spark, I don’t even know exactly how but it just doesn’t have the same feeling as the earlier seasons. I think a lot has to do with the cast changes, loosing Evan, Sarah, Finn, Taissa, Jessica and Kathy really hurt the show in my opinion, it just hasn’t been the same since then 😢

As Levi said to Erwin “Give up on your dreams and die.” I think it’s time to pack it up and just make proper sequel seasons for what we actually like. Murder house, coven etc

I don’t understand why they did that break in the middle of the season lol way to kill the momentum

The fact they had Kim Kardashian on this season tells me all I need to know about its quality.

I loved it actually 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I had to come to this video to check whether or not it was the finale episode. Safe to say me and my husband are extremely disappointed. I’m seriously praying for the show’s future and hope it doesn’t get cancelled just yet…

Thanks, Brainpilot. As usual, you are spot on. Have a wonderful day.

Agreed to every point you made ❤

I'm ashamed to say😢, this used one of my favorite shows. I actually feel bad Kim had to make her acting debut here. Her acting was pretty on point. RIP

I was very disappointed, though i was the only one. You were spot on with the character performance.

The last episode does not deserve the 3.6 rating. Red Tide left things so unfinished with many plot holes and rushed through conflicts and left you with an annoying villain (Alma) and don’t even get me started on Death Valley. The ending of Delicate made sense. In episode 7, the witches circle Adeline, Ivy says "You have no power other than what she gives you" then Sonia says "and takes away". So Adeline had power, it got taken away by Siobhan once she left the cult, which explains why the chant failed for her at the restaurant, because she didn't have power. Siobhan later gives Anna power when she accepts the baby and is given the green heels. Anna is able to cast the chant/ ritual at Siobhan with the power Siobhan gave her. The witches are bloodbound, and died together except Anna because she had Hestia by her side. The writing isn’t the issue, it’s the fan base that can’t pay attention to anything.

THANK YOU

Thanks for your honest

I honestly think most of the season wasn't bad, but lackluster due to the story. Yes IVF could be scary but this is far from its competition such as black mirror, Them, black mass, etc. Emma Roberts was the moment and the final episode was tragic. There was no real ending, it felt unfinished and the actors such as Cara or Kim dying scene were below par. Make this series scary again!

I think they were already in hell, thats how Adeline was there in the spirit world and the chant didn't kill Siobhan, it only banished her and thats why you can hear the other witches chant in the background when Anna was in the white room I also believe Siobhan is Lilith, it makes so much sense. Also Adeline didn't give Anna powers Siobhan did when Anna accepted the baby. Adeline was only there for encouragement lol

I agree. I had to rewatch the first five episodes.

I find myself leaning more towards the seasons with Emma in it, I enjoyed this season compared to Double feature and NYC(a real horror story) I do feel like the biggest missing piece was Sibbon’s back story!! Us seeing her betrayed by a man and seeking revenge prompting her to create a world full of Delicates would have made this even better for me! Still a cute season to rewatch. Also, I feel like they wrote Ana like that so we as an audience don’t just think of Chanel or Maddison Montgomery

In a series where Coven is beloved, this season about Witches failed horribly short of impressive. The funny part is that fans would’ve felt different about the whole season if there had just been even the slightest tie to Coven. Retroactively, it would have been a game changer.

I miss the times when even the worst seasons of AHS were the mix of 20 plotlines and 200 characters where horror constantly switched with dark comedy and then it all was turning into some decent drama and twisted version of happy end. Yes, it was a bit crazy sometimes, but it was fun to watch and that's for what people loved this show. In Delicate it's all gone - there was only an attempt in psychological thriller, but due to criminally boring characters and numerous plotholes, it just failed completely.

I had initially thought that maybe as a gay man this was just a story I couldn't really relate to as the anxiety around expecting a child just isn't something that I have encountered in my life (much like how some of my straight friend didn't really "get" the NYC storyline and ending) But I'm glad to see I'm not alone here in seeing that the ending felt a bit out of left field and rushed. I do wonder of the writer's strike forced them to push more into fewer episodes than initially intended? but either way it definitely feels like they just didn't quite know how to pace the story

I seriously want to know if there is any after 1984 that is worth buying. I have up to that on dvd.

They show what happened to Annabelle but did they ever show what happens to Sonia? Is she still with them? I don’t remember seeing her at the end after they show how Annabelle dies. Also what happens with the preacher lady??

I think that since the split, a lot of actors had time to distance themselves from their characters. A lot of the acting in the second half fell flat on it's face. I think this is especially true for Cara who's most important scenes were in the second half. The fact they did the split as a whole was stupid. I understand having to shut down filming but releasing the entire season in two different parts was never going to go over well and they should have known that too. I don't know of any other programs choosing this split route because of the strike. A lot of this season felt like a tubi show.

I'm going to read the book it's based on so I can understand it better. (Hopefully) I feel like they left a lot out. (Book: Delicate Condition)

I was actually intrigued after the first couple of episodes of this season but man the rate that this season went downnn was insane. Such a shame it keeps happening.

I honestly didn't even know this show was still going. It's had 12 seasons? Stopped being good after 2.

I didn't watch the last two seasons. Do they still do the tie-ins with previous seasons or has the been dropped?

I swear the best shows always get canceled, Frankenstein, Chapellwaite I'm hoping that FROM doesn't get canceled either

-AHS became a growing hit from S1 to S3 -AHS peaked at S4 to S5 -AHS's breaking point was when apocalypse aired -AHS started to decline afterwards Now AHS is a shadow of its former glory for the golden era of AHS ended a long time ago and it is past time for Ryan Murphy to let AHS be put to rest.

Kim K was having so much fun and I loved her. Wish it was for a better season

I also think Manny Coto passing effected the season a lot. Hes been part of the show sincethw begining and alot of the eps he directs are the best episodes.

I really liked Nicolette character she actually did really well tbh..

I mean for factors writers strike. Ryan Murphy FORCED his writers to stay on well into the strike (he didn’t want to stop bc it would post-pone the show into another year) he blamed it on Kim K having a busy schedule. This is the outcome when everyone says yes to you in Hollywood it makes you entitled and think you can do that to your writers lol

Freakshow is when AMHS started its decline. When Ryan said the script was stolen the show has not been the same. That was YEARS ago.

Our problem was Kim Kardashian and the Nicolette had a baby, please stop, and the time lapse, my family just said no more, so we didn’t even bother.

It was good outside of the finale. It nailed psychological horror. People are so fickle.

It's so crazy how fantastic this show was when it started in 2011 and just how awful these last few seasons have been

I thought this show had a final season years ago?? This is how i found out it's still alive lmao

They should’ve added two more epidsode

I was a loyal watcher of AHS, through seasons good and bad. The minute they cast Kim Kardashian I was out. I will not help perpetuate her fame (or of anyone else in her family). If they cast her in other upcoming seasons I’m also out. I fully understand I’m just one person and Ryan Murphy et al don’t care what I think and my “boycott” won’t affect the show’s longevity in any way, but I feel better for having drawn a line and stuck to it.

I remember when it was theorized that it was supposed to be only 9 seasons to signify the 9 circles of hell. The Roanoke season & the cult one with the politics weren’t my favorite, but still had some suspense and gore. Apocalypse was great tying in a lot of the other seasons & should’ve ended after that. Never got into the season after that with Richard Ramirez it seemed like an out of place season after Apocalypse. Season after that had good stories, but not earlier AHS season caliber. The NYC one was okay. This season could’ve used more episodes and more clarifications like Siobhan’s origin, what made her drawn to Dex’s Dad, more explanation of Preecher… Lackluster season… Emma Roberts is amazing on all her AHS seasons & I thought Kim did a pretty good job with her role because it was kind of a main one. I think Ryan Murphy. reds to focus on like on project at a time… It seems like when he’s working on multiples, the older / longer series kind of go on the back burner… which has kind of been AHS the last few years.

I'm fed up of things being split into 2 parts for marketing/monetary reasons. Some films fully earn and utilise it, but nobody asked for this to be 2 parts. Heck from the sounds of it people didn't even want 1 part lol.

There was a kardashian on it...

Its Me!!!! Im the person still holding on to hope 😂

I feel Apocalypse (season.8) was truly the last (and good season) you could consider having somewhat of the wit, horror and fun that the last ones had. Since then the whole show has felt like dragging a corpse around hoping its gonna rewake again. It's painful and sad to watch as a previously devoted fan.

Also why have we had like 5 remakes of Rosemary’s baby? That resurgence happened like 5-10 years ago. It’s passé, but the show is so beautiful. I almost don’t care about the plot, and it’s beautifully satirical if you let it be. But I miss it being blood curdling and sexy. I really do.

"The writers strike probably had something ti do with it" understatement of the century

Pulled me in at the start, nice build up, then flat finish 😒 almost seems as if someone else took over after the mid season break and they just wanted to end it. Kim as a bad guy actually started to grow on me tho

That ending of the last episode tho... I had to research it because it looked like the end of an episode, not a season finale, if they took the time and effort to make the episode, why not make something more complete and at least an hour long?

when your players don't even know what's going on, your audience doesn't stand a chance

I tried to rewatch AHS from the beginning and i quickly realized the show was never actually that good.

I wasn’t aware it even came back after the break…

This is still on air?

Can't believe this was the finale...

I honestly forgot this show existed

Emma Robert’s CARRIED this season

I get upset when AHS typically only does 9 shows and calls that a Season. And the last 2 always seem to quick to wrap up in a nice pretty bow, of sorts

I used to actively watched always , until they casted Kim. No way I am done ✅
