'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' review: The coven's Romanov time-travel trial run is the only terrifying thing about episode 8

The latest episode of the American Horror Story Apocalypse, 'Fire and Reign' had a little bit of terror — some real-life terror that we just have to talk about

'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' hasn't been the most horrifying lately and the reason is plain and simple — they've overcomplicated the plot and built up too much in the beginning and now that we are nearing the end, literally, there isn't much left to tell. The meat is definitely missing from 'Apocalypse' and the hype built with this season has been an absolute letdown. However, the latest episode of the show 'Fire and Reign' had a little bit of terror — some real-life terror that we just have to talk about. 



 

'Apocalypse' is now trying time travel as the latest technique to save the world and in the middle of it, are all the coven witches — or what's left of them really.
