'American Horror Story Apocalypse' review: A finale full of missed opportunities

'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' finale was anything but satisying - but mostly what disappointed us was the deaths, put in the story, for the sake of shock value.

Major spoilers ahead.

'American Horror Story' finales have a history of letting the bad guys win. Apart from the one odd time here and there, Ryan Murphy's evil monsters always take the trophy home. However, here's what this season finale had that others did not - fantastic characters who didn't get to see the light of day. The finale, 'Apocalypse then' was as disappointing as a dog thinking he's going to the park to end up at the vets instead. Too many shock value deaths, plot holes, and characters laid to waste away - it is so unfortunate that 'Apocalypse' just did not live up to its full potential.
