Freak show is the fourth instalment of the very compelling American Horror Story series, and much like the past three season it started off with a bang! It was suspenseful, elegant, somewhat beautifully, frequently astonishing and obviously insane!
The characters this season include Jessica Lange back in all her glory as Elsa, the “star” of the freak show.

Lobster hand boy Jimmy Darling played by the recurring Evan Peters, The Bearded lady with the southern accent aka lobster boys mother played by Kathy Bates, the words smallest woman in the show and in real life Jyoti Amge plays Elsa’s assistant Ma Petite. Frances Conroy is back as Gloria and delivered possibly the most badass sassiest line of the entire episode “By far the most freakish thing of all tonight was your pathetic…show more content… The Siamese twins then arrive to the freak show circus tent and met the rest of the “freaks” Then a police officer shows up to take Beth and Dotty to the station as they are suspected for the murder of their mother, but the Lobster boy Jimmy Darling shows up and saves the day!
