Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Okay, American Horror Story: Asylum. I need someone to root for.
I'm all for insanity, but complete insanity? Granted, this season takes place within an asylum, but it's veering very close to dangerous "empty shock factor" territory, where everything is so over-the-top that it becomes meaningless. During Season 1, I cared about the Harmons. About Vivian and Violet. Even Ben, despite his adultery. At its deranged heart, it was about a family trying to rebuild themselves. At the heart of Asylum you'll find a bunch of crawling worms and rot. Very little substance. And just three episodes in - with "Nor'easter" - we're given one of the most jumbled episodes yet.
