American Horror Story — Series 3: Coven — Episodes 12 and 13: Go To Hell & The Seven Wonders.

22nd September, 2017.

You know, you can possibly tell I’ve got an early start in the morning, can’t you?

Possibly.

Frankly?

The fact that, on a Friday night, I’m putting up a blog post I expect to go live well before bedtime.

Hopefully, before midnight.

Tomorrow, you see, I’ve got to start work at ten.

In the morning.

Which means getting up at five.

So … ?

Frankly, that means an early night, from where I’m sitting.

And an early start to a TV box set I’ve been watching.

You got it.

American Horror Story, series three.

Episode 12Go To Hell — opens with a scene: a silent movie that Fiona (Jessica Lange) is showing Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), about how the Salem Coven picks its leaders.

With the series of test known as the Seven Wonders.

In the back ground?   Delphine (Kathy Bates) is working as a tour guide in her own home, whilst secretly torturing Marie: whilst Zoe and Kyle (Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters) come back from Florida.

Episode 13The Seven Wonders — brings the series to an end: putting the witches —  Cordelia, Zoe, Madison, Queenie and Misty, respectively, Sarah Paulson, Taisa Farmiga, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe and Lily Rabe  — complete or fail the various needed to becom the Supreme.

With the eventual winner … ?

Becoming the Supreme, and opening the Coven up to the public in a prime time TV interview.

And helping her mother, Fiona, die in the process …

Now … 

Good … ?

Yes, I think I can all Coven distinctly enjoyable.

About my only complaint?   Is simply the fact we didn’t necessarily see Marie (Angela Bassett) and Delphine’s (Kathy Bates) storyline tied off as well as I felt it should.

I felt some form of redemption, some form of peaceful resolution could well have been the thing, there.

Still, and on the whole?

Coven is a great piece of work: and something American Horror Show fans — myself included — will enjoy.
