Need a hardcore show about witches, with a Mean Girls vibe and a decapitated racist?

American Horror Story: Coven might be the show for you. Season one and two is currently on Netflix. When FX released the third season known as American Horror Story: Coven last October, its fan base gained a large amount of newcomers.

The TV series recycled many actors each season, but Coven had guest stars as well. The cast included Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Emma Roberts, Denis O’ Hare and Kathy Bates. The characters were definitely unique, especially in terms of appearance and personality. For example, each witch in the coven had their unique, individual powers. Some of the powers were telekinesis (the ability to move objects at a distance mentally), clairvoyance (the ability of perceiving things or event in the future) and the ability to be a human voodoo doll. The young witches would soon discover their potential throughout the show.

The show executed the character designs in a way that made the characters come to life. The emphasis in the costume design in the show was apparent. Each character had their sense of style however it also screams “witch-chic.” My favorite characters included supreme witch Fiona Goode, who was definitely up to no good. She was played by the award winning actress Jessica Lange. I also loved Marie Laveau, voodoo queen and arch nemesis of Fiona Goode. She was played by the amazing Angela Bassett. Some of the particular themes in the show were occult practice, a historical view on racism in New Orleans and it also emphasized women empowerment.
