I'm looking forward to it, because (she said somewhat shamefacedly) it sort of is my kind of show. I really liked Freak Show, and although the writing was a little uneven the acting was top notch. Whatever his character, I've no doubt Matt will nail it.

Excellent! Your mission, should you choose to accept it: As the official Matt-watcher of AHS:H, report back on the goings-ons of Matt's character and possibly keep an official shirtless scene number count. Good luck. This message will self-destruct in 5...4...

I will do my best.

I was somewhat intrigued by Freak Show, though I still haven't gone back and watched the last few eps that I missed. I have a few friends who really liked S1 of AHS, and I've been thinking of checking it out, but my list of "things to watch" is too long already (finish Fargo S1, finish True Detective, try Jane the Virgin, maybe check out The Jinx...and I think I'm missing some other ones).

I am okay with horror as a genre as well, and am glad to see Matt in a role that a) is a major character, and b) has the potential to be a really different role for him. I look forward to hopefully seeing him dial up some creepy. :-)

Bottom line, you have at least one more AHS:H watcher who'll be happy to report back on what Matt's character is up to.

Yay! I look forward to your reports!

I watched parts of Matt's episode for Freak Show. I had planned on watching the whole episode, but I just couldn't deal with the rest of the ep.

I'm very curious to see what kind of role it's going to be and how it'll all play out for his character. So many possibilities!
