Sarah Paulson was great in tonight's episode. I love how self absorbed her character is even when in extreme peril.
The episode had quite a few darkly comic moments, in fact, like how neither British Sarah Paulson nor Lee would believe Cuba when he told them that it was Shelby who killed Matt, so they sent him outside to be killed by the Piggy Man. D:
The season explores the rise of a cult of personality that can rise in a divided society and said he had been considering how to tackle the phenomenon for a number of years before Trumps rise. Explaining that he had previously considered making a season about Charles Manson, Murphy said: But it never felt right to me, because its been done a million times, and I didnt know how to make it fresh. But I kept coming back to the idea of the cult of personality.
Its about somebody with the wherewithal to put their finger up to the wind and see that thats what happening and using that to rise up and form power. And use peoples vulnerabilities about how theyre feeling afraid and they feel like the world is on fire.
