Where do I start with freak show. Oh yeah I wrote my English paper on this show because of how much I love it! I feel it is one of the saddest seasons of American horror story history and Murder house was pretty depressing too. I feel American horror story had sad stories, but this one always makes me cry. This season makes me wanna cry how the freaks are treated and spoiler alert when meep died was the saddest death of them all!
I'm letting you know there will be spoilers. Let me start off with saying the setting is in Jupiter, Florida and it centers a bunch of freaks with shocking and traumatizing back stories. Like wow Ryan Murphy you made a series that absolutely makes me wanna vomit, but still look at the screen. Since I re watches it for my paper it wasn't so bad, but I did realize this season is messed up! I'm not kidding it seriously is. You got Dotte and Bette, coin joined twins, who have different personality traits. One is more innocent and the other is more cynical and harsh. Jimmy darling, the talk of the town who really just looks good and sleeps with many different girls because that's all he is ever seen, a object. Poor jimmy just wants to be accepted by his lover Esmeralda (his girlfriend in real life) which I feel makes their relationship more passionate and also shows their connection with one another. And the poor freaks are being terrorized. The clown we thought was just vicious never really wanted to hurt anyone and didn't understand what he was doing was wrong. He just wanted to make children laugh and that elicit emotion for the audience because he had such a short time and they killed him off just when I'm beginning to like him. The story was really well developed and showed the true message; acceptance. How we shouldn't judge people who are different then us and it just shows how the media represents freaks in general. This season was just so sad, yet awfully disturbing it was almost bittersweet. Not even dandy knew he had a problem and didn't know what his purpose was in life. People are so triggered how it's gross. It's American horror story, Ryan Murphy isn't going to show fake blood and guts no he wants to show real terror of what these freak performers went through and the exploitation. It has a great message with a well developed story line and characters 10/10.
