Bruno Kirshner's Reviews
Woke free masterpiece
A poignant story about grief and loss, with charming characters and stunning scenes. I understand some people will not “get it” at first, but stay until the end, and you will have closure. Remember it’s about those left behind, not those who “left”. The finale stays with you for a long, long time.
Shoutout to Liv Tyler in the best role of her career, as devastatingly sad and angry Meg.

Very good show
Haniwa and Wren are annoying and overpowered (although they do have a concrete advantage), Kofun is usually an emasculated wuss, and sometimes the ones who can see are an analogy to minorities — but all in all, it’s surprisingly not woke. The respect they have for their patriarch is refreshing to watch. The villain is one of a kind — I’d watch for her alone.

Has its cool moments, but it’s a wokefest
Most seasons are heavy on wokeism (Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, Cult, Death Valley), some are lighter on it (Roanoake, Apocalypse, 1984), and others are on the moderate side (Murder House, Asylum, Red Tide). All in all, a few seasons are a very good ride, like Asylum, Roanoke and 1984, while others, like Coven and Apocalypse, can be somewhat watchable — if you can get past the campiness.
