What a bunch of Muppets.

Warning: Spoilers
Don't get me wrong, the series has beautiful production values and thrills in all the right places, hence why I've given it as high a rating as I have.

But these characters are like bags of thick rocks. Particularly the family. Good grief. If you are in such a frame of mind that you can willingly have sex with your "husband" in a gimp suit he just found, and then NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN, there's something wrong with you. If you see your dad making out with an old lady that's not your mum and don't at least have a jab of "she's old enough to be grandma", there's something wrong with you. Honestly I don't know if this family lives to the end of the season. And frankly I don't care. It's horror movie Darwinism, and the system works.

Best actress award goes here to Jessica Lange. Absolute monster. She was repulsive from start to finish. That was the point right? (I don't know if these constitute as spoilers cause this is all stuff from the first episode, but better safe than sorry)
