Kudos to the cast. Especially for Madison Iseman who did an excellent job playing a complex character working in a necessary but unusual profession.

One thing did not make a lick of sense though. How did the crazy grave digger character get security footage of the morticians workroom and then splice it into the video being shown the wedding??

The vid at the wedding\church would not have come from an internet site but from a server in the building so no hacking the signal. He'd have had to steal the footage from the funeral home (a feat in itself), then broken into the church, found the right file, used editing software to insert the stolen footage, and... see? Made no sense.

Oh, and he'd have to had known the groom was going to make the video as the bride did not and was surprised by it! Another wtf.

Other than that huge blunder - fine episode. Gave it a 7 for Madison Iseman.

Not sure how I feel about them continuing to leave subtle hints about the ending throughout. You knew as soon as the friend mentioned the married couple with one buried alive that this is the direction they were going to head.

Nevertheless, this was an enjoyable episode, that gave us a crazed character and did not divert from that premise. I was not familiar with Madison Iseman before this episode, but she did a very good job in this complex role.

The right mix of drama and comedy regarding the situation, and for once the ending did not make me completely shake my head, even if it did end up as predictable.

This Episode begins with a mother, she has been killed in her own house. Sam is working at a funeral home. Sam is having sex with Jesse, she enjoyed it. Charlie tells a story about his family, they all died in a car accident. Sam has a really emotional conversation with Charlie, they seem really connected with each other. Jesse asks Sam to marry with her. Sam sees that Charlie died, he took a overdose of drugs. Sam kisses Charlie. Sam has sex with Charlie. Sam sees that Charlie his body is gone, he is still alive. It is two months later and Sam works at a beauty shop, she is getting married with Jesse. The sextape of Sam and Charlie got shown on the marriage. Sam has a job interview, but the story of the sextape was already clear. Sam buys a gun. Charlie kissed Sam. Sam shot Charlie down. Sam goes into the Grave with Charlie, they both died afterwards. Solid Episode of American Horror Stories Season 2, really great and interesting story about a funeral worker who's life is evolving into a nightmare!

What the h*** was that????? Easily the worst episode of the whole series so far. It wasn't even scary, and it didn't even make sense. I only jumped one time during the whole episode when he awakens and grabs her. Also how do you fall in love with someone that quickly after a couple days of working together? Lol. The ending was so dumb when they just die together too. What was the point of this? They didn't clarify if the guy was a necrophiliac like she was. Super disappointing episode. How do you "save" someone by ruining their life with a viral video and taking away their freedom to live, and how do you "save" someone by literally killing them? Oh and please have hotter guys on the future episodes, preferably big husky bear men lol.

I should have known it wouldn't last. The previous two episodes in my opinion had been ok, and then came Necro.

Having realised Facelift, the previous episode, hadn't featured anything gory or repulsive, the "writers" decided from the off to show you a mortician working on a cadaver. Nice. Thanks for that.

What followed in the next few minutes was entertaining, pay rise, nice (but dull) partner, troubled past. And then the other dude turns up. Brief flirtation, with no chemistry between the actors. Unconvincing.

Now even I thought AHS had some places it just wouldn't go. But no. There is nowhere this show won't go, no depths it plumb for cheap and nasty thrills.

The mortician decides to start "working" on the new dude when he turns up dead. Not "working" working, but working as in humping a dead body. Seriously? But no!!! He's not really dead! It's a joke. Funny eh?

Then he turns up at her wedding, and everyone gets to see her humping his 'dead' body on a video screen. But it's ok. He did it cos he loves her! That's a relief. It doesn't matter her life is ruined. At least he loves her!!

I've included so many spoilers so you don't have to watch it. Without doubt, it's one of the worst 45 minutes of TV I've seen in a long time. Hang your heads Murphy and Falchuk.

Sick story of necrofiliac. Just sick, without meaning. I used to be a fan of Ryan Murphy, but American Horror Story and Stories has been awful these last seasons. No plot, just something that is sick so some of the fans are happy? But I must ask, what kind of people find episode of necrofiliac "ecxelent story"? Wake up! American Horror Story and Stories have reached their end. There hasn't been good horror in these for a long time. Horror has been replaced with plots of no ending, no answers to the story. Just being sick is not good horror. It's sad, but time to say goodbye is here! Good riddence!

Started at a 7 for me, ended at 4.

It takes some finesse to do the whole mortician story thing. 6 Feet Under, good example. In the Flesh, although not on perfect point, was very watchable.

I thought this started well, it had flow, she was interesting, there was reasonable tension.

Enter co-worker, yep, cute & creepy, lot of great possibilities. Boyfriend/fiancé doesn't like the way she smells, yep, creepy & reasonable.

But it's a wedge. Her girl friends see problems. Wedge. All predictably leading up to dead cute-creepy boy. With whom she has sex (kind of). Yep, gross, creepy, read the title. She has an epiphany & goes back to marry the boring boyfriend. Wedding is a sabotage cluster****, and in the aftermath of her confronting creepy-cute-not-dead-Guy who is completely in love with her it Just. Fell. Apart.

A great premise only remains great if it can be nicely wrapped up with less than 2 wtf moments. Many of these stories have suffered the same fate for me. I did like Dollhouse, Aura, & Facelift this season. I loved several of the original AHS seasons. So many of these short stories just seem tired, and a waste of the good talent that they've had. And the endings bomb.

I'm sorry but the hell was that?

Like I don't get it.

I get your past can give you mental scars.

I get your past can make you "Weird" (Nothing weird being around dead people, it's a honouring job to have a job like Sam's) But.. to cry over and have sex with the corpse of someone you've only known what seems like a week of knowing them because "They get you" and then agreeing to marry your Fiancé.. Hmmmm.

Then when he completely destroys her life and he does it to make her feel "Saved", they have sex again, when she shot him point blank. Then they go and die in an open grave being filled up.

This episode proper grossed me out and for all the wrong reasons, was so close to skipping the episode after the necrophilic part.

Season 2 has felt more Black Mirror then AHS.. least then I can accept half the stories.

Let's start off the acting is amazing madison gives the best performance we've seen yet on this show as a compelling protagonist with fascinating intentions. The writing here is a lot stronger than we've seen on this show previously, the people talk like actual people for once. At it's core this episode is a gross love story and I'm here for it conversations about the journey of death is really interesting. Sams back story is tragic and really helps drive her character intentions and trauma and madison puts her soul into a brilliant performance. Although the sex with dead bodies thing was painful to watch. And thankfully no stupid twist. In conclusion I really respect everyone on this episode for going as far as they did and exploring some gross stuff.

This season has been extremely hit and miss, mainly miss to be fair. This is the worst of the lot.

What it all boils down to in my mind, is that I had been shot at point blank range in the stomach and was currently being buried alive by tonnes of soil in an open grave I wouldn't have much of a sex drive.

The best part of AHS has been the reviews, some of them have been hilarious. A lot of the characters look too similar to each other so it gets really confusing. 'Drive' I mean you. This and American Horror Story seem to be reliant on the loyalty of the viewers, but so many of us just seem to be turning up and watching in the hope that things are going to get better but with no real expectation that it will.

The second best part of AHS has been the cameos.

I have to speak up about this; if you a normal healthy person repulsed by Necrophilia, one of the worst human taboos, it is understandable of the reaction however American Horror Story/Stories is a horror show. THIS IS HORROR. If you are repulsed by the love of the dead, just walk away. If you do not enjoy horror and love it above all else then this episode (and maybe this whole franchise) is not for you.

Within, Necro is a lovely concept, a beautiful romance between two morbid geeks, and a love triangle drama that plays out exactly as we want for maximum enjoyment. Best episode of the series. Goths and the darkly inclined will love it.

The acting is incredible, the flashback scenes are grossly delicious and the opening gothic track makes it the perfect home to relax to a lovely story.

The love triangle drama got a little bent during the wedding, since what the goth boyfriend did to her was so problematic. But I realize that's for the dramatic element. Ultimately, this will have a place in my heart as a nice horror romance which frankly there just isn't enough of.
