Ahs seasons ranked — 9. Murder House: The only good thing about Murder House is this shot, I'm dead serious. No wonder people stop watching AHS after the first season, as it's simply the worst. Yes, many people disagree completely and think Murder House is, in fact, the best AHS season, but I really don't understand. The entire plot was just getting on my nerves very early on, and so were the characters. I was so glad once I finally got through it and was able to watch the other seasons. | © FX

Ahs 1984 — 8. 1984: 1984 was such a letdown for me. The plot – compared to previous seasons – seemed so... mundane. As if they had suddenly lost inspiration and just had to come up with something. The acting was the only thing that kept 1984 to be in last place, because Murder House didn't even have that. | © FX

Ahs hotel — 7. Hotel: It's not that Hotel was bad, I actually quite enjoyed it, but compared to the seasons that follow, it just doesn't live up to the rest. The entire vampire Lady Gaga plot was cool...-ish. But the real hero for me in this season – acting wise, of course – is once again Sarah Paulson (you will hear me say that multiple times throughout this article). | © FX

AHS apocalypse — 6. Apocalypse: The cool thing about Apocalypse was how different seasons came together in it... but that was kinda also its downfall for me. It was just a lot, and sometimes too much. But nice try, guys. | © FX

Ahs freak show — 5: Freak Show: Freak Show was pretty cool, and I love how they showed a different side of AHS in Freak Show... and its actors. Once again, I applaud Sarah Paulson, but also Jessica Lange. They did a fantastic job in Freak Show. One of my favs was, however, the clown. I'm not a huge clown fan, but what they did here was just awesome. | © FX

Ahs coven — 4: Coven: I LOVED Coven. I know some people think it's super boring, but this was like Sabrina in badass. Maybe a big reason why I love the LoL Coven skins so much is because they actually remind me of Coven AHS. That's power. | © FX

Ahs roanoke — 3: Roanoke: Roanoke surprised me on another level. I went into that show without any spoilers whatsoever and was not disappointed. The gore in this season and the story blew me away. I loved the way they told the story and I absolutely could not take my eyes off the screen for even just a second, while at the same time, I had the urge to close them every time, afraid something horrible would happen at any second. | © FX

Ahs cult — 2: Cult: The plot twists in this season blew me away. It was like I saw absolutely nothing coming, and I really felt for Sarah Paulson's character. Even when she went full berserk, I was like: yep, that was deserved. Evan Peters was also insane this season, by the way. I hated him, but his performance was on another level. Absolutely loved this season! | © FX

Ahs asylum — 1: Asylum: Now, to the one that everyone, absolutely everyone loved. AHS Season 2, Asylum, will forever be the best AHS season. Like, seriously. I don't think any other AHS season will ever come close to Asylum. The way they built the story in this one and the way you felt towards the end of the season, compared to the beginning... chef's kiss. | © FX

1-9

The cool thing about American Horror Story is how each season is different, with easter eggs being hidden within each season. However, that also leads to many different opinions on which season is the best. Today, we'd like to give our opinion on which AHS season is the best.

Due to Season 10 just having started, we will not rank AHS Season 10 here, and rather focus on Seasons 1-9. So... let's get this freak show started!
