American Horror Story from the get go was a show unlike any other. When Evan Peters popped out on the scene with his “sad boi” persona, and manipulative air people were transfixed. Nobody could get enough of this scary, sexy series. It pushed boundaries like never before and people became devout fans of not just the stories, but also the creators who put it together time and again. After ten seasons it is incredible the fire that still burns for this show.

Still, everyone can catch criticism even for something that seems like utter perfection. The problem with American Horror Story isn't really with the actors. Honestly Ryan Murphy the creator understands exactly what he's doing when it comes to casting, and the writing is usually on point.

Her involvement from day one was the glue that held much of the series together.

The emotional toll might be arduous, and the tension beyond awkward.
