'American Horror Story: Apocalypse': Is Billie Lourd's acting sub-par? Fans weigh in

Fans are saying that Billie Lourd is in 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' simply because of her family connections

Every time Billie Lourd comes on screen in 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse', the 'Coven' theme starts playing in the background. It suddenly gets windy, a butterfly flies out of nowhere and there's an ever-present nervous aura around her. Her character, Mallory, is supposed to be an all-powerful witch — someone who can bring the antichrist to his knees.

Strangely, the power only remains as something from the books as none of us at home feel it. While her character development could be intentionally made to give off 'just-out-of-college' vibes so that when she does get out of her shell, it will be breathtaking, fans of the show argue that it may not just be a character trait, it could be Lourd's bad acting.
