Aliens played an underlying role in Asylum’s conflict and especially the major characters’ resolutions. Much of the anticipation for Death Valley’s alien premise was the hope that it would answer the questions and mysteries left from American Horror Story season 2, Asylum, which is still regarded as one of the show’s best installments. After 10 seasons, fans longed for the overlapping stories and connections featured in nearly every installment, and Death Valley sorely disappointed viewers. One way Death Valley could have redeemed itself in the eyes of American Horror Story fans is connecting it back to Red Tide, which was heavily implied in the first story, yet never came to fruition. The split timelines in Death Valley left each underdeveloped, the characters weren’t gripping, the young casting called back to American Horror Stories’ most common criticisms, and the finale had absolutely no stakes, twist, or excitement, all contributing to Death Valley’s severely underwhelming premise following Red Tide. While Red Tide won’t be regarded as poorly due to how well-crafted the majority of its episodes were, Death Valley’s overwhelming disappointment stains American Horror Story season 10 as a low point in the series.

Teasers for season 10 gave audiences further hints as to what creatures or villains awaited American Horror Story’s beloved actors, which suggested a sea-based humanoid that fans theorized to be sirens for Red Tide and an unmistakable alien for Death Valley.

Red Tide episode 5, “Gaslight,” even holds the third-highest episode rating for the entire series on IMDb, truly proving how exciting the first half of American Horror Story season 10 was, and subsequently what a letdown Death Valley became.Īmerican Horror Story: Double Feature was marketed to audiences as a split season, with the stories being separated by one’s setting at the sea and one at the desert. While critical and audience consensus deemed Red Tide’s finale a disappointment, the first five episodes refreshingly called back to the proper pacing and gripping premises of the series’ heyday. Following a largely warm response to American Horror Story season 10’s first part, Red Tide, fans overwhelming hate Death Valley.
