Sex, drugs, fashion and plain weirdness all set to a great soundtrack? American Horror Story is starting to feel more and more like one long Lady Gaga music video - and what's not love about it?
Tonight we delved further into the Hotel Cortez and got the whole back story of why it's so darned creepy, but it was the Countess who kept us captivated.
The Lady in question is earning her acting chops as she goes along. The Countess is not just a sexy, vampiric creature with her eye on the next conquest, there's something deeper there and you get the impression that we've yet to see more from Lady Gaga in this role.
What we have learnt about the Countess so far is that she is highly intelligent, which makes her reason to turn super-bratty super model Tristan Duffy (Finn Wittrock) perplexing.
Yes, he has razor sharp cheek bones that could cut ice and a chiselled body to match but he's completely crackers - much like his Freak Show alter-ego Dandy Mitt, down to his predilection for wandering around in tiny Y-fronts. Not to mention that he's as thick as he is handsome and hardly the brightest of people.
Who asks if they can kill Kendall Jenner shortly after they've been turned? Let's hope the Countess is only keeping him around for the thrills because compared to Donovan (Matt Bomer) he's about as interesting as watching blood spatters drying on bedsheets.
Returning to the Lady Gaga music video analogy, real-life super model Naomi Campbell makes a cameo as Claudia Bankson, an Anna Wintour-esque Vogue journalist, who we can just imagine having a cat fight over a Louboutin swag bag at a fashion show. Although there's no outward signs of aggression, you can tell she's a hard-bitten fashion hack who knows her stuff and you wouldn't want to get in her way.
