Nurse Redd: I get chills just thinking about it
Narrative
A detective and a nun investigate a series of heinous crimes that seem personal, while also dealing with personal issues and uncovering a sinister web that raises more questions than answers. Ed Laclan’s Mustang is the same color and has the same license plate as the car in The Italian Job 2WQI332. Ryan Murphy used to be good at telling stories with a variety of different themes, but now he feels like the pieces he feels need to be told his way are art versus fetish.
I understand that some nuns are less conservative, but how she acted was insane
The protagonist was an unstable detective, insecure about how she held her job, seemingly unable to get out of a paper bag. Who would honestly discuss a new case with a stranger claiming to be a nun, with no real credentials? The priest just didn’t fit the role, it feels like Murphy was trying to be Evan Peters and failed.
I know this is a two episode review, but it feels like another season of AHS titled after something else
Redd was a strange character who seemed very close to the husband under her care, I feel like there’s more to the story, only time will tell. The only thing that was grotesque was the daughter in the first episode dressed in something purposely tight and eating enough food for two people. Who cares if she’s pretty or anything, let’s give weight to her character focus because apparently that’s how big people are perceived.
The cinematography was okay, but nothing stellar either
The show is full of cliches and plot holes, maybe stereotypes, but nothing really original. Take a look at it and decide for yourself, review edits may come when the series is finished. Edited update – Just like in AHS: NYC, suddenly in the last few episodes Ryan Murphy changes the cohesion of the plot a bit, he probably calls it an arthouse or twist, but it shouldn’t leave the viewer feeling a range of emotions about the show, from disconnected/confused and so on.
