American Horror Story: Cult episode 7 live stream: Watch online
By Tina Wargo
American Horror Story: Cult continues to terrify us with plotlines topped directly from the headlines and characters we fear we could become.
With last week’s heavy, intense, and pretty much jaw-dropping episode of American Horror Story: Cult behind us, we’re no closer to feeling like our characters will find peace and happiness but we are certainly super close to just giving up on the general concepts of peace and happiness altogether.
Granted, when the season started with screams of horror at the newly-elected Trump juxtaposed with on-the-other-side-of-town cult leader rejoicing at his victory, we should’ve seen this coming. But having insight into the inter workings and emotional reactions of both sides of the aisle from the beginning, though disturbing and uncomfortable, seems to be exactly what creator Ryan Murphy is positing as a national cure.
So why don’t I feel any better? Oh, that’s right! Because no matter how deft the metaphor or how nuanced the motives, we’ve just been left with our protagonist getting framed for mass murder and our villain about to be at the peak of a career he manipulated so well, it’s dizzying.
We’re heading into the second half of a season that only gets better and richer and more complicated, and though I want resolution as much as the next gal, I fear the lesson we’re soon going to continue to learn is that there are no answers — only people posing impossibly divisive questions. And the most frustrating but sorta brilliant part of all? I’m still gonna be watching, fierce and captivated, waiting for answers.
Here’s how (and where) to watch, too:
