American Horror Story: Coven compels its way on to FX tonight at 10p and you don’t want to miss this show or fear the curse they will put on you. OK, they won’t do that but you don’t want to miss what might be the best one in the AHS franchise.
Coven starts off in the 1800’s in the house of notorious serial slave killer Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates) and you see what a sick individual she was.
Then the show picks up in the current day and teenager Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga) is about to lose her virginity to her boyfriend. But something happens and she finds out she is a witch because of it. So her mom sends her off to New Orleans to attend a school for witches.
Cordelia Foxx (Sarah Paulson) runs Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies and besides Zoe she has three other students. That because there aren’t as many witches as there used to be. Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) is a bitchy celebrity who uses her powers for bad. Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) has an interesting power that you will have to see to believe. And finally there is Nan (Jamie Brewer), who is mentally challenged, but she is the smartest witch of them all.
The four students are not prepared for what will happen next because Foxx’s mother, Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) has decided to come back to town and she has her own agenda. She is a supreme witch and supreme something else that rhymes with witch.
So while the goal of the witches to remain private, they have been doing things that will get them noticed. So not only are they putting themselves in danger, they put others in danger like mortal danger. And nothing they do will be as bad as what Fiona does at the end of the episode that will definitely make this series very interesting…
In recent years I have tired of Zombies, Werewolves and Vampires, but shows like this are keeping my love for witches very much alive. So tune in for a spellbinding story tonight and every Wednesday at 10p.
