When American Horror Stories launched in July 2021, it felt like a product of the pandemic, a cheap-and-easy way to tide fans over while production stalled on Ryan Murphy’s proper cult hit American Horror Story. Why not go back to some of the grisly ideas that never found their way into an installment of AHS and give them the anthology treatment with the kind of limited productions that COVID necessitated?

Spoiler alert. Wolf Hall has so many characters, it’s nearly impossible to follow all the action without a few trips to Wikipedia, and once there, it’s impossible not to be spoiled.

Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington in The Piano Lesson. The house has the look of a skeleton. The set of The Piano Lesson is all posts and beams, no walls and ceilings, and some of those bones look like they’ve been cleaved apart. It’s an appropriate sort of place to be filled with memories of the dead, and when Danielle Brooks’s Berniece wakes up after the curtain rises, there’s a fluttering projection of a spirit slipping away from her.

And now, the story of two men working on the story of a man working on the story of a man who liked to watch people have sex.
