Thought this was kind of terrible. Sarah Paulson was the most annoying, followed by Kathy Bates, and then Cuba Gooding Jr.. They have all shined in other roles, but were handed a steaming pile of script. I took a break from this show after Hotel, and just revisited the series. This season makes me not want to watch the rest. I want to say that at least 6 episodes were unnecessary. I’m sure it would have been less annoying if it were only 4-6 episodes, but I’m not positive it would have made a difference quality wise.
Season 1 episode 1 was one of my favorite episodes of any show, and since then it just kept getting worse. The first 2 or 3 seasons were ok, the bit in the middle had some of my favorite characters and a few good ideas at least, but ever since with this nuclear bomb and Padre BS it has been torture. This last season has had some of the worst writing I have ever seen and I’d be surprised if the actors aren’t embarrassed by the dialogue they were under contract to perform. It was fitting that they brought Nick back for that final scene, he really stole the show from the comfort of a coffee can.
Instead of Electric Dreams, they should have called this Short Dicks. Seriously though, these stories were all good ideas but some just missed the mark. Overall I enjoyed it though. The stellar cast really helped elevate most of the episodes.
