The season started quite promisingly, but with an unexpected twist, it turned into a rehash of previous seasons. For the most part "Apocalypse" is a crossover with "Coven" and "Murder House" and a back story for the first and last episode.
On the one hand, the interweaving of seemingly unrelated seasons is interesting to me, on the other hand, the entire eighth season seems forced and gives the impression of a filler season, the sole purpose of which is for the authors to gain time until they get inspiration for a new story. I can't say it's bad, but it's certainly the least good so far and far below the standards this series set in its early days. Too campy to deserve a place alongside the top seasons that preceded it, yet not campy enough to turn the game around and fall into the "so bad it's good" category, like "Scream Queens" with which it shares Emma Roberts. Somehow neither here nor there.
The only constant in this series is the acting. The entire cast is excellent, and as icing on the cake, there is also the cameo return of Jessica Lange.
6,5/10.
