Overview
- In new comments to Variety, Sarah Paulson said she did not like the poor reviews but emphasized the “absolute unbridled joy and fun” of making and promoting the series.
- The Times labeled the drama the worst television drama ever made and The Guardian issued a zero‑star review, as the Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score hovered around 3 percent.
- Despite the reception, Hulu reported 3.2 million global views in the first three days, called it the platform’s biggest scripted series premiere in three years, and ordered a second season.
- Glenn Close defended the show after watching all nine episodes and suggested the first three were the weakest, later sharing a tongue‑in‑cheek Instagram jab at critics.
- Guest star Judith Light said she is pleased about the renewal but does not expect to appear in season two.
