Nothing surprising about his review, I would say.

'American Horror Story' Returns, With Twists, Thrills And A Chilling Lady Gaga
Quote:
For much of this year's opener, Lady Gaga glides through without speaking. She looks great, but says nothing, like the shimmering star of a silent horror film. She even watches one, by going to an outdoor movie in a cemetery, where hipster locals picnic near graves while watching Nosferatu. But when the Countess finally does speak, showing a young boy around some of the more hidden parts of her hotel, she makes quite a chilling impact.
The creators of the American Horror Story franchise, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, sometimes seem to enjoy creating new worlds and shows rather than sticking with them — so sometimes, a good start doesn't always result in a satisfying ultimate conclusion, as with their musical series Glee. But the one-season length of American Horror Story seems to suit them just fine, and it's impossible to wander through this first hour of "Hotel" without wondering, with great expectation, just what else is behind some of those doors. For this audaciously designed anthology series, this is the most visually arresting and twisted one yet — and given the history of American Horror Story, that's both a compliment, and a warning.

The NY Times also hates Gaga. They've spread so much ******** about her, including that BS about the ARTPOP era causing hundreds of people to lose their jobs and causing a 25 million dollar loss (some figure Angela Cheng made up) or something like that. It has become a liberal joke.

Protecting gaga, her acting.

In Ms. Lange’s absence, the role of malevolent den mother appears to have gone to Lady Gaga, and that’s a pretty steep drop-off.

With “Horror Story” and “Scream Queens” on the air and the new “American Crime Story” in production, perhaps they’re getting a little overextended. There’s only so much genre reinvention that two men can do.

Welp, they're NOT here for it.

'American Horror Story: Hotel' reviews: An Emmy for Lady Gaga?
Quote:
The fifth installment of "American Horror Story," subtitled "Hotel," begins Wednesday night (Oct. 7) on FX. This is both the first season of the anthology series featuring singer Lady Gaga and the first without Jessica Lange, who won Emmys for the first and third seasons.
Lange's fourth and final season, "Freak Show," won five Emmys, all in Creative Arts categories. All told, "AHS" has won 13 Emmys from 71 nominations. Will it add to that tally next year? And will Lady Gaga be among them?
Let's take a look at what the critics are saying.

'American Horror Story: Hotel' review: Lady Gaga invites you to be her guest
Quote:
Yet the latest edition of the FX series, subtitled "Hotel," outdoes itself on that score by adding Lady Gaga to its high-profile repertory company, where the mantra seems to be, "The scenery's free; eat all you can chew." Gaga delivers only a few clipped lines of dialogue, but who cares? She's gloriously photographed, in a venue where strands-of-hair placement are vital, plot scarcely matters, and sensual pleasures invariably go hand in hand with buckets of blood.
Whatever the shortcomings, the extraordinarily well-timed addition of Gaga to the mix should render any naysaying moot, practically speaking, establishing this as a sort-of event that plenty of people will feel obligated to check out (or in). Viewed that way, Gaga's primary role is to help bait the hook, at one point describing the hotel to an outsider by purring, "Maybe this place is special."

Goldderby is highly prestigious in the industry, they are singlehandedly responsible for a smear campaign against Michael Keaton so Eddie Redmayne, who is pals with the owner, would win. Stay on their good side, GaGa.

‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ Review: Ryan Murphy at His Most Shocking, Lady Gaga at Her Most Gaga
Quote:
It’s as if Stefani Germanotta’s Lady Gaga was conjured for the precise purpose of starring in American Horror Story. Everything about her jaw-dropping presence, sheer star power and always outrageous eccentricity makes her an ideal fit for the FX show. While she may not fill the void left by former AHS heroine Jessica Lange (who could?), she does bring a glistening, diva-centric magnetism to the lead female role. Murphy wants you to gasp every moment Gaga’s Countess appears on screen, whether it’s from her stunning attire or ghostly bleached eyebrows and pale skin, and it’s hard not to. But can she act? That remains to be seen, since Gaga does little more than play a heightened version of her own pop star persona. Gaga’s Countess plays like a caricature of Old Hollywood starlets, with her few lines of dialogue tinged with an uneven Transatlantic accent. She’s not great, but the less she says the more intriguing she becomes. After all, we don’t watch American Horror Story for great acting, we watch it for the characters, and Gaga is the most striking character in pop culture today.
On top of the Gaga selling point, Hotel also thrives on its heavy serving of rampant violence, showcasing more than any season premiere before it. Most of the gore comes courtesy of Det. Lowe’s murder case, which shamelessly mirrors the grisly murders of Se7en. But as grotesque as David Fincher’s 1995 thriller may be, Hotel takes the horror even further when it comes to the hotel itself. Without giving too much away, we’ll reveal that a jewel-encrusted drill-bit ***** makes an appearance in one of the most brutal moments of the entire series (as Murphy promised). There’s also a good amount of disemboweling, throat slitting and blood-soaked hotel sheets. Murphy is clearly operating at his most horrific level here, and reveals that he’s far from exhausted his playbook of nightmarish scenarios. But is that enough to keep the fifth installment of a 13-episode season going?

ignore critics, the only one who should judge the show is you. Just because someone else doesn't like it doesn't mean you won't.
