Did anyone watch American Horror Story on FX?

[Trouble]

I have it Tivoed and was wondering if it was worth watching.

clone of the old showtime series?

Had it on DVR and watched it this morning. FX usually has some good stuff.
I've never seen Nip/Tuck, but understand the creator of that show is behind it.
I liked the tone... profoundly weird and left some questions when it was over.
Some freaky stuff happened in that hour... still not sure if a couple characters
are actually alive or not.

I did not care for it. Will not be watching it again. Without giving spoilers, I think it was trying too hard to be edgy, different, sexy, and weird, and it didn't succeed for me. It was like a fancy dessert that had a lot of good ingredients, but it just didn't taste good.

I agree with rgG that it was maybe "trying too hard to be edgy, different, sexy, and weird," but I'm sick of being bored by clunky, big budget over-hyped series with pretensions of grandeur, of being transcendent TV (eg Boardwalk Empire). Compared with that, I'd rather have edgy, different, sexy, and weird. I must admit that the down and dirty sometimes has an allure for me that escapes the high and mighty. YMMV, of course.
