I took the time to watch the whole thing and my biggest problem with this show is, of all things, its pacing.
Not to mention Sarah Paulson’s performance washed that of the rest of the (generally remarkable) cast.
It would be just as sad if it was NOT renewed for S2.

The sad thing about it is really the quality cast and resources these producers have is what so many could only dream of and this show is what they do with it all.
Ryan Murphy's trashy melodrama further cements his parallels with Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry. But even fans of "so bad it's good" trash TV would throw their hands up in agony at Murphy's new show starring Kim Kardashian. n.pr/4o70r9S

Artificial intelligence can execute tasks in seconds that once took humans hours, if not days to complete. While this may be great for productivity, some researchers are concerned that our increasing use of AI could be impacting our ability to tackle difficult problems and think critically. To find out where the science stands, and how worried we should be about the potential of AI to change how we think, Ian Sample hears from Madeleine Finlay and Sam Gilbert, professor of neuroscience at University College London

When I ask AI to do something, I always say please - like when I ask a person to do something.

Ryan Murphy needs to slow his roll, and Kim may be better off not acting when she’s getting bad reviews trying to play characters so similar to herself.
