American Horror Story - S6 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
The Young Folks
Brian Acunis
For long-time viewers of the show, the "show within a show" format is a fresh shakeup from its traditional format. Additionally, the episode resonates as a more mature version of the storyline from the first season, Murder House.
Observer
Drew Grant
For all the hoopla and buzz and highly-marketed misdirects ... My Roanoke Nightmare felt markedly...flat. On purpose, for sure. But still...sigh.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
So, was it worth the wait?... Hard to say just yet, but color my interest piqued- for now. We'll just have to wait and see where it goes from here before I make any serious judgment calls. Until then, it was okay, I suppose. Not great, but okay.
Tampa Bay Times
Chelsea Tatham
There was no opening credits nor was there a teaser for the next episode. The whole point of watching a horror flick is that you never know what's going to happen next. True horror fans understand that and live for the surprise.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Jonathan Bernstein
However it happened, My Roanoke Nightmare is an injection of fresh blood into what was becoming a decaying formula. It's the American Crime Story version of American Horror Story.
AV Club
Emily L. Stephens
It's possible that in the mockumentary, creators (and writers of this episode) Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have hit on a format where AHS's famous vagaries of plot and character are a virtue, not a liability.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
It will certainly be an interesting and different look for the series; a bold move which could be the spark it needs to regain viewer interest.

Layers within layers.
Digital Spy

It was all decidedly weird and peculiar, and although Murphy has previously said that the sixth season will tie together the mythos of American Horror Story it all still seems a big mystery.

And... and... that was the end?!?

Props to Murphy & Co. on that, and figuring out a way to truly surprise us, even six seasons in.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Moylan
Ryan Murphy said he was going to answer some questions and he really didn't. He just left us with a boring TLC show that features at least one Oscar winner.
TV Fanatic
Caralynn Lippo
American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 1 was very much unlike any other installment in American Horror Story's history. I can't say I love it for sure yet... but I have to give the writers and directors kudos for trying something completely different.
indieWire
Ben Travers
"My Roanoke Nightmare" is a promising start with a central mystery as tantalizing as the ads teasing it. The marketing paid off, now Ryan Murphy has to, too.
Entertainment Weekly
Marc Snetiker
Hell if the intrigue doesn't make me relish the strangeness of this new season all the more.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Though short on scares and true tension, I liked the change of pace and tone for American Horror Story's sixth season.
