The only character semi interesting is Robbie Kays Tommy. Perhaps Tommy being a teenager helps. Ren and Miko are also a bright spot, only because theyre not so dour and serious.

American Horror Story: Hotel Season Premiere Review

American Horror Story returns with its latest installment, Hotel. Here’s our premiere review… This American Horror Story: Hotel review contains spoilers.
