American Horror Story: Coven review – 3×04: ‘Fearful Pranks Ensue’

October 31, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

We’ve reached part one of American Horror Story: Coven‘s two part Halloween double shot. Considering the madcap shenanigans on this show, however, it’s unclear how we’re meant to distinguish this pumpkin outing from any other episode.

American Horror Story: Coven review – 3×03: ‘The Replacements’

AHS is kind of like a freakshow: amazing sights hidden behind every corner and filled with taboos just waiting to be broken. This week we can cross another couple off the list, including incest, exploding semen and a whiff of bestiality.

American Horror Story: Coven review – 3×01: ‘Bitchcraft’

Take a seat folks because the strangest, most provocative show on television is back for a third “season”. It’s October, so it must be time for the return of American Horror Story. This time we’re tackling witches, New Orleans and a powerhouse cast of wicked ladies destined to make Wednesday nights a whole heckuva lot of fun

True Blood review – 5×12: ‘Save Yourself’

August 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Well, we were promised a bloodbath! And since this is True Blood – the show that has yet to kill off a main character – we probably should have known that our favourites were safe. So what did ‘Save Yourself’ do right…and what didn’t work quite as well?

It’s a race to the finish for True Blood: with only two episodes remaining, the death toll is really starting to ratchet-up.

True Blood review – 5×10: ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’

August 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

We’re hurtling towards the climax of S5 of True Blood and the show is desperately trying to pull its disparate storylines together. With only three episodes left, how’s that working out?
