Through five episodes of “American Horror Story: Roanoke,” it does not have the edge in the ratings versus the first five episodes of “American Horror Story: Hotel.” Yet, at the same time there could be a few signs out there that the tradition could be changing.

On Tuesday, the news was first announced that “American Horror Story” was renewed by FX for a seventh season, and we do think that this news is certainly worth celebrating. While we haven’t necessarily loved the past few years of the show, we remain an advocate for the show continuing to try new things and […]
