The background chosen for the first season is rather ordinary. There are usually some so-called weird stories in ancient houses, let alone such a quaint little villa that is more than 100 years old. Every group of people who lived in it and turned into ghosts had their own stories, so in the end, this seemingly empty house was actually quite crowded, but there were people (ghosts) of all occupations, so functionally it was quite Complete, at least there are doctors, servants, actors...
The souls of those who died in this ancient house will stay here. This setting is not new. In fact, The Grudge is a similar setting. But like this drama, it's the first time I've seen so many people who died in the old house. The first thing I felt was a little speechless. It was almost a hotel, and when I saw some ghosts behind me, I couldn't remember. So it's actually not that scary.
Speaking of horror, I remembered that the Chinese name of the show is "American Horror Story", which is actually inappropriate. The American word shock is a bit more shocking or surprising, focusing on the viewer's feeling rather than the object being described. The word story itself has a bit of a fictional feel to it. So the title is equivalent to telling you that this is not true, it is just a story. Generally speaking, ghost stories mostly emphasize their authenticity.
The ending of the story is good. The family of three finally died in the ancient house. Then, as ghosts, they lived happily together and solved all the knots in their hearts. At the same time, they also started doing good deeds to scare away all those who would buy the old house in the future. From this point of view, this ending is a good ending. But the final ending left a little suspense, that is, about the child born by the man and the ghost, which is a bit weird, but he didn't seem to be mentioned in the second season.
Although this show is a little bit nonsense, it still has a bit of connotation. Don't be so stubborn when you are alive, you must learn to be flexible. Nothing is flawless, you just don't see it. So, turn a blind eye to some things, the so-called life, it is rare to be confused, and some things are digested in your heart, don't take it seriously.
