I chose Matt Fowler as my reviewer. I found him by searching for reviews of shows that I like. He writes for IGN.com. Here are a few samples of what I based my review off of:

I chose Matt Fowler because I like his style of writing, it isn't too formal and he really just recaps the show while offering thoughts and questions about where the show is going to go. He writes his reviews for hardcore fans of the shows he is reviewing, so he is able to go into detail about character and plot. I chose to review episode Boy Parts of the show American Horror Story. 

American Horror Story: Coven – “Boy Parts” Review           

It’s completely understandable for people to have qualms about American Horror Story after Asylum. It had mutant zombies, alien abductions, Satanic nuns, Anne Frank, and Santa Claus serial killer. But when the show is on point, it’s really good, and Coven’s first two episodes have proved that this season is on the right track.

The premiere episode included Fiona blowing lines of coke, Madame LaLaurie’s torture chamber of mutated slaves, Zoe humping a guy to death, and a graphic gang rape scene. The writers never hesitate to take the show to levels that border on offensive. Those scenes proved to be only a small taste of what they have in store for Coven, judging from the somehow even more controversial “Boy Parts.”

The first big shocking scene was when Zoe and Madison break into the morgue to resurrect Kyle. His body is in pieces, mangled in a body bag with the guts hanging out. None of the gory details are spared. Madison, who is turning out to be as twisted as she is powerful, suggests that the girls collect the nicest of the dismembered limbs and create the perfect Frankenstein boyfriend. I think that idea is almost unrealistically dumb (Zoe only met him once!) but I’m willing to overlook it for the sake of plot.

The weird is what makes the show worth watching, even when it borders on disturbing, like Cordelia’s sex scene with her husband. Sarah Paulson as Lana Winters was one of the best parts of Asylum, and luckily this episode delved deeper into Cordelia’s character than the premiere did.

Apparently, she’s married and can’t conceive a baby. Her husband convinces her to use magic. They perform an elaborate ritual conception ceremony, including snakes and blood. Cordelia’s eyes turn completely black. It’s really scary and weird. I just don’t see how anything good can come of that. Something has got to be wrong with a baby conceived under those circumstances.

The episode set in place a rivalry between Fiona and Marie Laveau that will unfold over the season. The cast of American Horror Story consistently delivers, and I’m interested to see the what kind of relationships will develop among the characters.  Coven definitely isn’t done shocking us yet.
