American Horror Story - S2 • E13 Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
This finale episode managed the odd trick of not really giving us what we wanted or expected and instead gave us something else; something we may have needed more than wanted: emotional closure.
Grantland
Tess Lynch
This finale was palpably satisfying, like eating an entire pizza by yourself with no one watching.
Slate
J. Bryan Lowder
If you can get past the roiling surface, I really believe that AHS, in its exploration of some deep American mythology, is one of most thoughtful shows on television, even if it sometimes gets lost in the murk.
Rolling Stone
Halle Kiefer
As an ending... I found the low-key finale to be ultimately satisfying. Like a haunted house, the terrors of Briarcliff were contained mostly within its walls. Once they escaped, its former inmates could move on with their simple lives.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
Essentially, the finale... came off like they were trying too hard to heap the season's questions and examinations of mental illness and the roots of evil onto a relatively minor character whose introduction occurred more than half way through the season.

Crazy, crazy, crazy! American Horror Story successfully does it once again!
HitFix
Liane Bonin Starr
While this finale became drippier (and not in the gory sense) than I expected, it seemed fitting that pivotal characters got a lavish, operatic send-off. And, in some cases, a sorta happy ending.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
Of all of the ways I expected American Horror Story's second season to end, I can safely say an elaborate homage to St. Elsewhere's classic two-parter "Time Heals" was not among the ways I considered.

"Madness Ends" was a solid and effortless conclusion to what has been, at times, a chaotic and frenetic show. Mostly every arc was satisfactorily ended over the course of the season and the strongest stories survived right up until the end.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
Fortunately for the programme, it goes out with a real bang that resolves the entirety of the meaningful story lines, from Bloody Face Jr. and Lana to the final fates of Kit, the kids, Sister Jude, Monsignor Timothy, and the rest of the AHS gang.
Entertainment Weekly
Jeff Jensen
It all made for a spectacular climax to a spectacular season, one that slammed home with head-spinning, heart-rending hurricane force its epic yarn about the lunatic legacy of corrupt ambition and unchecked injustice.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"Madness Ends" did that unexpected thing of making you realize that you cared about characters you never knew you cared about so much. Not everything about Asylum worked, but this final chapter made me glad I spent quality time with lunatics.
New York Magazine/Vulture

The payoff comes in the form of spasmodic, weekly dada horror. It's Mad Libs via Hammer Horror, and therein lies the joy of it. You have to let go, and let Murphy.
TV Fanatic
Carla Day
The Asylum installment of the American Horror Story anthology came to a satisfying conclusion
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
You never realize how much you'll miss some of these characters until they're gone, and this final chapter in Briarcliff's story brings the whole thing to a bittersweet conclusion.

MaryAnn Sleasman
Once again, American Horror Story's magical mystery gore has come to a heartwarming-in-a-psychotic-way end.
Wall Street Journal

If you were expecting insights about the devil or the aliens, not so much.
