The Freak Show angle definitely has promise. I'll give it a try. None of the trailers are particularly scary though, so withholding excitement.

This show is going to be great! I'm ecstatic about the first episode.
I love the imagery, such as the rusted carousel surrounded by tall grass. The music sets the scene, as well. Very fitting.
I loved the 'Life on Mars' performance
That clown is the stuff of nightmares
I don't find Twisty all that scary, tbh.
I'm excited, though! Evan Peters is still a hottie, even with those jacked up hands.

The fact that it's not in the right time period doesn't bother me. The show deals in magical realism, what does it care about timelines?
What I don't like is that Jessica Lange isn't particularly good at singing and the scene felt so out of place and disruptive to the rest of the plot.
Well sure it was clearly a deliberate choice and not poor research on song eras, it was just a comment that this is what spun me out the most!
The song doesn't make sense. You want a show about a 1950's sideshow freak ensemble but you want to feature a David Bowie song from the 70's? MAKE A SACRIFICE. Magical weird trout in this show doesn't mean we have to forgo making sense!
The clown freaked me out. Seriously.
I wrote a review of the first episode here~
What I want to know is how is she a sad clown and singing on stage?

MORE TWINS STUFF
Obviously a flashback sort of thing. Not sure WHY, but...
Twisty is quickly becoming my favorite character.

Great episode. The Tattlers sang a Fiona Apple song, which I would say pretty much confirms that the Bowie song during the first episode wasn't a timeline error
I really like that the songs are more modern than the time of the show. It adds to the "out of place" feeling.
