American Horror Story - S5 • E2 Ratings & Reviews
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
American Horror Story does not fare well when it features a grand gesture of exposition, particularly so early in the season.
Digital Spy
Sam Ashurst
Forget binge-watching a season, we feel like we've just binge-watched an episode - and we haven't even mentioned the part where Lady Gaga rides into a disco on the back of a horse.
New York Times
E. A. Hanks
The only mystery going thus far is how sewing dead bodies into old mattresses brings back the dead. So perhaps here is where horror and camp begin to work against each other: Can anything that preens so glibly in the spotlight's glare truly be scary?
TV.com
Ryan Sandoval
For The Countess and other characters driven by vital dependency in the enjoyable, yet stout "Chutes and Ladders," it was addiction that made a body feel more alive than others, while at the same time trapping the addict in a prison of pure need.
Paste Magazine
Ross Bonaime
"Chutes and Ladders" has what "Checking In" didn't have: a story.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"Chutes and Ladders" provided a horrifically fun backstory for the hotel...but that was a 15% chunk of an episode that sprawled for over an hour and a half, featuring some very grating vampire soapiness involving vain, pretty douchebags.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
There's an evocative grabbiness to the idea of Gaga-Bomer-Wittrock as party people and diseased infected people.
AV Club
Emily L. Stephens
"Chutes And Ladders" is eager to share its enthusiasms, and the elaborate settings and playful camera work (directed by Bradley Buecker) help keep it lively.
Wall Street Journal
Michael Calia
While episode one hit us over the head with some pretty horrifying images early, episode two settles into more of a narrative groove.
Tampa Bay Times
Chelsea Tatham
Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are both playing villainous character this season -- a first for them both. And they're KILLING it. Literally.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Moylan
Right now the stage has been set nicely for this to go in some very interesting directions.
PopMatters
Leyla Hamedi
It was a pleasant surprise to have a good bulk of the hotel's backstory spelled out for us so early on.
TV Fanatic
Miranda Wicker
Don't count on any of it making sense because clearly that's not what we're here for. The gore is necessary because the shock value is what keeps us coming back. We're as twisted as some of these characters.
