Sarah Paulson Praises Most Hated ‘American Horror Story’ Season
Is American Horror Story going downhill with its latest installment? Sarah Paulson doesn't think so! Here's what she had to say about “Delicate”.
American Horror Story has certainly had its ups and downs throughout its run. While “Delicate” has been widely criticized by fans and considered one of the weakest seasons in the franchise, Sarah Paulson has a different take.
When asked about favorite AHS season, Paulson said:
“Season 2, which was the ‘Asylum’ season, was my favorite to do. I mean, I actually think this season has been really fun to watch [with Kim Kardashian], who I think is fantastic.” (via AHSZone on X)
Inside One of the ‘AHS’ Most Controversial Seasons: What Is “Delicate” About?
Drawing inspiration from Danielle Valentine's novel “Delicate Condition,” the season follows actress Anna Victoria Alcott through pregnancy and subsequently transforms it into the AHS nightmare. The slow-burn pacing might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it definitely builds the tension.
The main issue: viewers have criticized the plot for being simultaneously too straightforward and too confusing. It also had struggles with underdeveloped characters and an ending that left more questions than answers.

Sarah Paulson’s positive comments about “Delicate” have fans wondering if she might return to the anthology series. The actress hasn't appeared in AHS since “Double Feature” and many viewers consider her absence part of the show's recent quality dip.
“Oh she’s keeping that door open for future Ryan Murphy projects lmao (and hopefully AHS S13),” Redditor Sky6346 said.

- On Rotten Tomatoes, “Delicate” has 77% from critics and 66% from the audience.
- On IMDb, “Delicate” is rated 5.3/10.
“Everything is wrong. The performances are terrible. The direction is terrible. The camera shots are a disaster. It doesn't have the spirit of the series and looks like a TV movie or a B-movie. The production has lowered the budget and it really shows,” mcanony on IMDb wrote.
“I was shocked at how boring and lifeless this season was. I barely trudged through the last couple of episodes. It felt like being stuck in hell, and I don't believe it's what the writers were going for,” another fan, elipshea on Reddit said.
