There’s been a lot of hype about the casting of Lady Gaga in American Horror Story: Hotel (the show’s fifth season). Co-creator Ryan Murphy is so confident in her performance that he’s offered her a role in season six. But, will the ratings live up to expectations? Could this season crash and burn so badly that the series is cancelled by FX? Seems unlikely but stay tuned.

The rest of the cast includes Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Denis O’Hare, Lily Rabe, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Chloë Sevigny, Finn Wittrock, Mare Winningham, Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Naomi Campbell, and Max Greenfield.

What do you think? Do you like the American Horror Story TV series? Do you think that it should be renewed for a sixth season?
Season V is beyond boring and terrible. AHS lost their approach hiring this pseudo singer-actress, she just needed to pick garments from her wardrobe for the show and be the same digusting animal she is. If the show rating was high was because lady caca’s fan freaks flooded the show, but many true followers felts disapponted and stop watching it. Jessica Lange is a true and outstanding actress, an awesome lady and charismatic, along with Kathy Bates. I hope Jessica returns and AHS becomes the great show it was.
I love this show. Every season is different and great in its own right. That’s why I love it. If you feel like something is not right inside you after you watch it then it was a good episode.
Season 5 has been the worst of all after season 3. It was truly boring with senseless violence. Pure gore with no meaning nor purpose and a really, really bad story. I wasn’t horrified one tiny bit, just disgusted.
It was boring. Sure, we got a conic ***** and all that crap but is this enough to make up for a whole stupid season? I stopped at episode 6 in season 4. Here I stopped at episode 2 or 3. The series should have stopped after season 2. After season 2 it was a continuous slide downwards. I won’t even bother starting to watch season 5 if it makes it to the screen at all.
This season was so revolting and sexually disturbing I cancelled its recording on my DVR deleted any unwatched episodes and was truly disgusted by the content of this season. The first season was the best. Rape and disturbing sexual content has ruined ahs and this last season will be the last my friends and I ever think twice about anything having to do with ahs.
I was a die hard fan of the previous episodes, once you lost Jessica Lange, and the elegant gore , you totally lost my interest. Lady gaga is a true artist , in her own element.. Her character ruined the show, this plot ruined the show.. Its over the top…blood and sex and goes no where.. I loved the others coven, freak show, they had just enough gore to stay interesting…you went to far this season…fix it , or i wont eber watch again.. Tammy
