The TV Set
Scary Good Have you tuned into American Horror Story on FX? If not, you’re
missing out on one of the most addictive new shows of the year. Set in a
haunted Los Angeles house whose residents seem destined to die in
horrible ways (and then stick around as ghosts to make sure that others
do the same), the the scintillating series provides a weekly dose of
good old fashioned frights, interwoven with a complex supernatural
mythology that is still unfolding. Plus, it’s got one of the most
attractive and talented casts on TV—with healthy doses of naked Dylan
McDermott in the pilot, plenty of the great Connie Britton (who probably
should have won an Emmy for “Friday Night Lights”) and the phenomenal,
glamorous, creepy Jessica Lange, dishing out movie-star quality scene
after scene. Tune in for new episodes Wednesdays at 10pm EST on FX.
