- Ryan and Greg are back for the season finale of American Horror Story: NYC. In the emotional “Requiem 1981/1987: Part 1 & 2,” AHS emphasizes the very real horrors that so many people had to deal with in the 1980s as they suffered and died alone during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With nods to ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Angels in America,’ we see the heartwrenching conclusions to our characters' journeys. We also get answers to Big Daddy’s identity, and why no one can outrun him.

What did you think of the AHS: NYC Season Finale?
Pretty good!!!
The “baby” grew up to be the wife from last season’s part 1 which was why she was freaked out by ticks and “Lyme diesese”
@@OMARA.OFFICIAL 🤯😂
Not a big fan, might be worse than Roanoke
@@412Sportsz then you didn't get it. it's ok. not everyone will. just like roanoke.
I think the unmasking of Big Daddy was meant to show that death sometimes comes in a very attractive package. It’s not always easy to resist the possible danger.
Making the season about real horror was the greatest twist of all.
poetically said
the thing tho is that this just wasn’t real horror, they tried to do something realistic and different but it was a huge fail.
I love the fact that at Gino's funeral he wasn't all made up, his lesions were in full view. I thought the finale was heartbreaking but very well done. And the actors were brilliant!
Both episode 10 and 11 were really depressing but I loved them. If Ryan Murphy went full camp for the finale I would have absolutely despised it, and I was fearing that's what was going to happen when Denis O'Hare started to add more and more comic relief as the episodes went on
Needless to say, this was a difficult finale to watch - and having lived during that time made it all the more real - - and I think that's what made this a "horror story" because we lived through it. I have to say I was surprised that Fran and her two other friends didn't make an appearance in either final episode, but I guess there was a reason.
Agreed. I was in college when it all began. Sad/scary. Hugs!
All of this. And ya where was Fran. Her st Gino’s funeral would have been extra potent.
@@CupidCrux werent Fran and her friends sick too? maybe they were already gone :/
@@Sammy-cm9ceher friend was sick but herself hadnt shown any signs really
12:00 I bawled my eyes out during this scene. Knowing that Patty LuPone has sung this song since then is making me bawl all over again! You can feel the pain and sorrow she's witnessed firsthand. 😢😭
that was such a sad scene. I cried too
That was a beautifully well done scene. I cried too.
I didn't feel one way or another about the singing earlier in the season but this scene and her voice got to me
For those of you saying it wasn’t like AHS, that lets me know you haven’t watched from the beginning. This season felt very adjacent to Asylum which was equal parts dark and sad. I thought this season reinvigorated the series after last year’s misfire.
Ummm...no? Are you forgetting the aliens in Asylum?
@@GoFindYourRoad I mean they are symbolism of God to contrast the devil in Sister Mary Eunice
I think i was crying during 90% of the last two shows. I'm mid 60s, lived through it all and know many who did not and some still dealing with it. I think it was a great reminder of what happened... the suffering that people endured and also the lack of support from the government etc. Not what i expect from AHS, but well done. And, yes, I agree this will not be a season I watch again soon but it was done very well.
i also saw the lack of diversity in this season as a problem but the more i thought about it this season became even more heartbreaking because it so directly mirrored that period where the black and brown communities were not only ignored but simply treated as invisible…we didnt even get the honor or being treated poorly we simply were invisible…this season is a message of a larger reckoning our country has to have and shows just how horrific and traumatic real life can actually be. This was a good season…not my top…but its close
One of the main characters Gino was Italian which at the time still wasn’t considered white as commonly as it is today. The actor playing Theo graves is not only 1/4 African American but also 1/4 Native American 1/2 Caucasian so like the ingredients for a Mexican. Lol Why does everyone want to create divisions this was a beautiful tribute to the whole community that suffered such devastating losses. I thought it was very inclusive
@@lorrainyhippohernandez4796 ... italian is white regardless of the delusion of the 80s-90s. you doing convoluted math to quantify the inclusion of diversity in a cast is embarrassing. this season didnt have that much diversity and considering the narrative of the story, it makes sense. stop lying and convincing yourself in an attempt to feel better about the lack of diversity.
@@lorrainyhippohernandez4796no they’ve always been considered white …
@@tittylicker5320 To be honest, I didn't even notice lack of diversity. Why do people have to make this an issue all the time? By the way, back then many brown and black people were not out of the closet, so maybe that's why?
You ain’t gotta be included in everything. It’s not a right.
I loved the grounded approach for this season, they stuck the landing with this mournful and haunting ending. I had tuned out from AHS for most of the seasons but with the great reviews for this season I came back and I'm so glad I did. Ryan Murphy- more of this please!
Having loss of friends to this terrible virus, I was moved to tears at the finale, and in a way drove me to dig up some old photos to remember they were here and always remembered and loved. So sad but well done.
why didn't they follow up with Sandra and the lesbains....they totally saw Big Daddy, too.
Right!
Your the only one to comment about that and I agree they ended the show with alot of questions like how a metaphor gets shot by Patrick.
They showed sign of rashes
The history of this country is THE American Horror Story.
I kind of looked at Big Daddy as Patient X who was a guy airline steward who traveled the world and believed to have somewhat spread it in different countries. Sam unmasking him made him realize where he contracted it and spread it amongst his group. Anyone else see this?
The Patient Zero thing has been debunked. There are investigative documentaries on it, many here on CZcams.
I don't agree with the patient zero part but I agree that he was the one who gave the virus to Sam. I think big daddy was the "boogyman" he wasn't real. He represented the virus, the fear and anxiety of the community at the time. He only ever went after the people who were sick or in danger of being sick. Remember in the park when Patrick shot him, his partner didn't see him? He didn't see him because he wasn't sick or in danger of catching the virus.
Big Daddy represents the person who infected them. He would have been different for every victim. Genius.
I've been an AHS fan from season 1.
I've been following you guys for a good while. I applaud the both of you! The caring and sensitivity you shared towards these characters and this season as well as the former seasons is to be commended. You're such good company to keep.
Sub for life!
I was honestly a little disappointed that you guys were right about big daddy being a metaphor.......but all in all it was definitely one of the best seasons of AHS in a long time. For the past few seasons, it's been super camp but this season was a return to Asylum vibes, and they really focused on the reality of the story while still keeping the elements of AHS that fans fell in love with.
7.5 out of 10 for me.
This season was both my least favorite and the most powerful. I sobbed openly, I didn’t even bother to hide my tears.
Idk I think the scene where he throws the black gay cop under the bus illustrated how even the white gay cop could still lay blame on the black man at the end of the day.
I don’t think race played a factor in that scene. Patrick didn’t want to be exposed for being gay and probably would have reacted the same if he got caught kissing a white cop.
But knowing that the consequences could be different for a black man annoys me
Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts. I don’t have any friends that watch ahs so I can’t discuss or listen to anyone’s opinions or findings about the show. I feel like I’m getting to do that when watching your videos. Makes me happy. Thanks a billion!!!
I honestly did like the season overall. I found myself excited each week for the new episodes. Got really attached to Gino and Adam. I didn't enjoy the finale as much though. I did think Gino's ending was well done, and found myself tearing up. I just wish there had been a bit more after that. I feel like it wasn't fully wrapped up.
This season is definitely the most unrated season by far. I’m so glad I was here for it. It was the right theme at the right time. ❤
Thank you Ryan and Greg! Love your coverage of AHS. Really hope you all are able to cover more things in the very near future. Keep up the amazing work!
I hope you guys make an updated AHS timeline with all of the seasons this far. ❤️ I’ll never get bored of those.
thank y’all for everything!!!
I don't usually rewatch AHS seasons but this time, I will definitly do. NYC makes it to my top 5.
I love your breakdowns and will gladly watch the two of you talk about about anything. One AHS thought: more about songs that were used in the shows: where did they come from (Calling You is from Bagdad Cafe: go watch that, kids) and deeper meanings/connections they bring to the episodes. you talk about that to some extent in the breakdowns, but more please!
I lived through this. I partied in the Meatpacking District. 30% of my friends died. Some still survived. I did not like this season.
meatpacking lol
Why? Was it not accurate enough, or, contrary, too accurate and too hauting personally?
I like American Horror (This season was totally wow) but your guys breakdowns are why I watch it. I love the break downs and talk between you both. I hope that when the next season comes by you both do a longer chat than 20 minutes if you guys have the bandwidth, Nice work.
You guys should cover Interview with the Vampire. Season 1 just ended, and season 2 starts next year.
Oh yes please! That series was AMAZING!
That has been a great show to follow. One of the producers of the Sopranos/Game of Thrones is involved. Well done show for sure.
Watching Gino crossover was hard to watch considering that I ain’t got over my guy passing away (from blood clot) but seeing how Gino saw the love of his life Patrick come to take him home. That’s the way I wanna go should my time comes
I couldn’t figure out the connection between this season and all of the others. I thought this was one of the best seasons in a while, even if it made me cry 😢
Because. Ahs 1984. The 80s will never die. In camp. Straight horror. But the real horror. Our 80s did die. And 90s. Until people started to pay TF attention.
@@CupidCrux yessir
There was the glimpse of Shacath, the angel of death from Asylum, in one of the episodes with the fortune telling. Small, but it's there.
Yay! Watched 'em last night and was dying to see what you guys would say!
I enjoyed this season, it’s honestly in my top 7. I loved how they gave this season a mystery/thriller vibe to it, and most of all the AHS Asylum references with the angel of death, fire island/government testing experiments (screams Dr Arden), the wheelchair being left behind while the character essentially walks into heaven (or ufos lol)- loved that aspect the most! Them featuring the big bad as something that was a real big bad in the 80s was heartbreaking honestly
I remember this time. I was a teenager and seeing all of this unfold was so sad. Nobody knew what was happening and the poor LBGTQIA was so ostracized. This season was so scary because it happened.
The LBABCDEFG DIDNT EVEN exist back then
With the newest season dropping tomorrow. I can’t help but feel like NYC is super under appreciated. I feel like it’s only aged better since it’s initial release and feels like a wholly unique entry into the series.
Sam was running and running and running.... but at last
acceptance for him. he no longer was running. 😿
Would love to see you talk about Joe Mantello and Russel Tovey and their respective roles in Angels in America productions (I.e the relationship their characters had) compared to their relationship as Gino and Patrick. Also interesting parallel with Gino’s devotion to Patrick considering Louis’s treatment of Walter Prior.
Love yall more than watching the show 💓
I have a love/hate relationship with this season. The only thing I'll say is this: Initially, I was disappointed in the finale as there didn't seem to be any resolution. Then, it occurred to me: there IS NO resolution.
The Resolution is coming - with modern meds, those with it can no longer pass it on. It is possible that it will die out with my generation. Yes, people need to be informed and tested and responsible, but the end is in sight.
Most of the season I kept saying didn’t we do this with POSE? It just did not seem very American Horror Story in my opinion.
If you lived through it lost people and were touched by it you would understand the horror. It is 💯 Ryan Murphy watch the normal heart
@@stephaniestroup9289 I understand that it was important, I just don’t think it’s fits America horror story. I mean no disrespect I just do not think it’s fits the show.
I haven't watched Pose but I hear it's very good. I think more than one show can cover the topic since AHS is doing it's own spin on it. I actually liked how different this season felt from the rest as a nice change.
@@givemebooksandwine7746 was cult AHS
Given the use of both Shachath and Big Daddy here, I wonder if they are both Angels of Death. Shachath seems to come to those who call her. Big Daddy comes to those who experience death directly related to their sexuality, be that through hate crime, disease or mad serial killer.
So heartwrenching!
CAN YOU DO SEASON 2 AHS STORIES?! I thought season 2 was way better than season 1. I binge watched some of your old ahs season breakdowns and there were so many references to “maybe we will see this in American horror stories” even though we only saw a connection to Dollhouse - which I thought was cool!!
I just loved the cast they always cast some great actors. This was a little different imo but I loved it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Will you be reviewing Delicate. I love your videos on AHS
Always great to see the homie from PostMortem Podcast
Tbh this was 100% the best season of AHS - better than Asylum, even, imo - because it didn’t treat serious topics with an ounce of levity.
Yeah asylum was stilkll a great season. But the way it handled some really serious and real world stuff was borderline melodrama at times. This asylum and hotel have such emotional finale still.
This was like AHS meets Bly Manor and im so here for it
With the lack of diversity aside (very disappointing) This is one of the best AHS seasons. It feels like the show has transcended to a higher art form. Loved it.
I get what you mean but Pose showed how this affected that community. This specifically highlighted how it affected the white and privileged. Nobody was safe. They all died in the end. At least pose had a happy ending lol
Stop whining about diversity.
@@honda-akari No.
@@honda-akari stop being a devil.
@@basicradical3581so, what's your litmus for proper diversity? Is it skin colour? You do know that you can't know someone's race by skin colour alone.🤦🏻♀️ Is it ethnic association? Someone's ethnicity isn't always limited by skin color- for example, there are black Koreans who grew up in Korean culture? What is it?
PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS!!! i MISS YOU GUYS
Heavy topic but glad they addressed it.
this season was a hauntingly beautiful literal masterpiece, the tragedy, the horror was all too real and this season truly moved me in so many ways. i couldn't even fathom what those who lived through this were thinking and experiencing in the early days of the virus. how scary not knowing where all your friends were ending up, were they out there still? did somebody hurt them? ive never cried so much watching a show
Bravo Season 😭🖤👏
this season was outstanding ten times better than the last three seasons combined.
Oh honey
PLS DO AN UPDATED RANKING OF THE SHOW!!!
Hard to watch but I'm glad I did.
Honestly this season is one of my favorites from ahs , the finale was so tough to watch man 😫
Adam actually spoke at Gino's funeral?!?! I watched it on Hulu and my screen just cuts to black and end credits
So what happened to Adam's friend/ roommate in the beginning that disappeared?
I think it was implied/believed that the Mai Tai killer/Mr. Whitley was responsible for the many deaths and dissapearances - and Adam was brought in to see his ''Frankenstein'' creature to see if he could be identified as one of them - and there it was revealed he was ''only' responsible for 7 deaths'' - which is still cruel but can only be linked to a really small percentage of all the dissapearances, meaning he was, like all those other men, taken by Big Daddy/the virus and not by the killer. I think that is the explanation they were going for - tho we do not get an explanation about what happend to his body.
I felt that they styled Gino to be like Larry Kramer.
They did ! His character is loosely inspired by him
Exactly
@@vanessalikesapples LOVE LARRY KRAMER!!! He was such a badass!!!
You guys should cover Scream Queens! It would be a blast going over the episodes with you two.
I love Patti Lupone & her version of the song is good. The song “ Calling You” was recorded in 1987 by Jevetta Steele for a movie called Bagdad Cafe. Jevetta Steele version is hypnotic. The movie was released in 1988.
Heartbreaking
Will you ever breakdown the most recent season of American Horror Stories?
Ooft were these two eps emotional. I think the general tone of this whole season was jus sad cause of how real it was. I had a great time. Do I wish it were more of the campy supernatural AHS that we usually get. Kinda. But that woulda prolly did a big disservice to this season. I think I wanted more answers to the more supernatural theories of the show specially big daddy and the weird subway lady. Was he jus a metaphor and how does a metaphor throw a molotov, or was he a ghost and was waiting for others infected to die? I dunno. Great season, cant wait for more of your content to come.
This season was something.... It was definitely terrifying. I would say it's comparable to Asylum.
I’m confused. They saw big daddy. They talked about him being a person. He threw a Molotov cocktail in the bar. How was he not real at least at some point?
All metaphors 🤣
@@blk_bvddafly8524 they had a picture of him in the book of photos and asked who that was then said big daddy. That’s not a metaphor.
Big daddy was the embodiment of how “mainstream” culture was a threat to lgbtq community through direct and indirect violence
This was a really difficult one to watch. It was heartbreaking and hopefully made viewers get a glimpse into just how hard living through this time was for the LGBTQAI+ community!
I had to pause it several times it was so emotional although I am an 82 baby I still remember the late '80s early '90s so this hits very hard out of all the seasons of only cried twice that was the end of 1984 season 9 and at the end of season 11 out of all the seasons those of the two seasons that made me cry for the last episode it got me and I'm typically not a crier but boy did they get me this season I was a wet mess over here 😦😥 😭😭😭😢😢😢😥 truly one of the most powerful endings throughout all the seasons this was the most powerful the most emotional it just hit very differently
Will there be reviews for Delicate? 👀
Lived my prime in 1980s I remember. However I gotta watch again missed some stuff.
Is it just me or could Russell Tovey's character being named Patrick be a tribute to the show Looking? Where his love interest was (Jonathan Groff) also named Patrick. I mean they could have picked any name right?
Did they wanted horror back in AHS? there you go, the saddest TRUE horror finale with this season. really heartbreaking but make it artsy
Amazing video! Can y'all dissect Nana, the anime on hulu?
We’re waiting on Season 12 recap we miss y’all
it was a good watch, but not in true AHS spirit, if it was a mini series of itself i think i would enjoy it more, but as a AHS season sadly its not in the top at all.
You should do an AHS video about a theme of a season you would like it see.
Do Yellow Jackets breakdowns next! Season 2 should be coming out soon great time to cover season 1 for those who want a recap
As a gay man, the impact of the aid in the laste 80s and early 90s is gutwrenching - but to be fair - this is not what I watch AHS for.
I love Pose take on it, but here it was nothing I wanted from AHS - I want super natural like AHS season 1 or 3 I did not want or ask for this in AHS
We need an updated AHS Timeline 😁❤
Ah, it finally got added to that page now. I totally caught that.
Are Ryan and Greg returning for more AHS seasons?
but did the pregnant doctor get silenced?! i hope they address that in a future season. this season was just super sad
I think the point was she really did die from heart failure due to the disease and she must of fallen.
I think Joe Mantello was involved in the Broadway version of Angels.
Did you mention Joe Mantello was is the original cast of Angels in America?
Coven is still my favorite
Big Daddy's unmasking was surprising
Please make a Coven Breakdown (episode by episode)
I would love to see you guys cover the Creepshow TV Series on Shudder. It's great.
This gave me "all that jazz" vibes
Are we supposed to think that Barbara's death only looked like a struggle with an attacker occurred?
I think that's what had me confused with the ending
Patrick gave Barbara the virus when he was cheating on her I think big daddy being so violent signified how unfair everything was to her
So I was very confused because Patrick had that tussle with big daddy when he went to check on Barbara's puppy. But now I'm guessing that was a sign of his health starting to fade?
@@cgonz777 I think that too. It wasn’t his time yet but he was getting closer like big daddy at Gino’s and he shut the door on him but Big daddy basically saying. I’m here!
No, I didn't because the site I watch from didn't have episodes 9 and 10 yet. I've been cross with them for being late. I will check again and no it's not Disney+. My Disney+ doesn't even have any episode of S11 up.
Check it out on Hulu :)
Greg, you were right.. it was a good show..i haven't cried like that..but it wasn't ahs
i cried like a baby for the finale 😭 i really liked it but the whole “all secrets will be revealed”… i didn’t really understand what was revealed exactly. overall i think the route they went this season was really great, but at the same time.. predictable i guess?
I was all in the whole season but the final two episodes really let me down. It felt lack luster and predictable. It was a good season but the ending was a mess
You know, I get why this story was told. But I don't get why they feel to make it as a season of AHS. It didn't feel scary, eerie, nothing but sadness. This tbh is my least favorite season just for that reason. I am a AHS enthusiast, lover , and a loyal viewer... But as this world gets more n more PC.... It's gonna feel weird as in life itself and esp shows. Ijs - personally
It was a really dark season.
Great series but it was in no way AHS
This season was good, unpopular opinion, but it's been the most real one so far. Maybe the majority of AHS fans prefer to go back to the fantasy types with Witches vs Warlocks, Haunted Houses and Hotels, Vampires etc. Maybe they don't like to see a real story.
Have you seen the watcher yet? I suggest watching and reviewing the show please
