You and American Horror Story NYC: A Cliffhanger of Episode Count Confusion
Ah, American Horror Story NYC. The season that had us all saying "Subway grates? AGAIN?" and "Is that... Kathy Bates in shoulder pads?" But beneath the campy costumes and chilling murders, there's a question that's been gnawing at fans like a particularly persistent bedbug: How many episodes are there in this darn season?
Fear not, fellow horror enthusiasts, for I, your intrepid internet sleuth (and self-proclaimed master of marathon-watching), am here to crack the code. Buckle up, because this investigation is about to get wilder than finding a perfectly functional payphone in Manhattan.
The Great Episode Count Caper: Where Numbers Go on Vacation
Here's the tea, folks: the internet is a fickle beast. One minute you're reading a reliable-looking website that says there are 10 episodes, the next you're staring down the abyss of a forum thread where people are arguing about a 13-episode conspiracy. It's enough to make you question your own sanity – did that last episode involve a rogue Uber driver and a sentient slice of pizza or am I just losing it?
Don't panic! We'll sift through the rumor mill and emerge blinking into the light of truth (or at least a semi-reliable answer).
Witness Testimony: The Streaming Service Showdown
Exhibit A: FX's Official Website (because who would know better than the network that made the show, right?) Claims a cool 10 episodes for NYC. Nice, even number, easy to digest. Like a bag of mini candy bars – you know you shouldn't eat them all at once, but hey, it's Halloween (or whatever spooky holiday they're celebrating in this season).
Exhibit B: Your Favorite Streaming Service (because let's be real, that's probably where you're watching anyway). Now, things get interesting. Some streamers seem to be on the same page as FX, listing 10 episodes. However, others... well, let's just say their episode count is about as reliable as a flickering candle in a haunted house.
The Verdict: Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a 10-Episode Ride (Probably)
Based on the evidence, 10 episodes seems to be the most likely answer. But hey, this is American Horror Story, so who knows? Maybe there's a secret bonus episode hidden somewhere, unlocked by chanting Kathy Bates' filmography into a broken mirror at midnight.
Here's the bottom line: Watch the 10 episodes that are definitely there. Enjoy the thrills, the chills, and the questionable fashion choices. And if a surprise episode pops up, well, consider it a bonus round in the game of American Horror Story: NYC. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with some takeout and a deep dive into those "13-episode" conspiracy theories. Just in case.
