Completed my full re-run of Diff'ren Strokes and can't believe it still holds that charm after being cancelled for decades. It's a pity that it's child star cast instantly went into a downward spiral, post the show's conclusion. They all had immense potential, especially Gary Coleman, who practically owned the show. Conrad Bain passed away last month (God rest his soul). He was an amazing actor and clearly a positive role model from this show too. My childhood was spent admiring shows like these, unfortunately, those days are now long gone and we'll rarely have a chance to revive these gems.
Moving on, began American Horror Story's second season and holy shit, I totally love the atmosphere. It's set in this creepy Asylum and has all sorts of weird characters and bizarre plots. It's a total far cry from the first season's modern horror house madness. The entire set-up seems to be in a 1960's time line, which I find really intriguing. Most of the previous star cast has been retained and some have more prominent roles this time, like Sarah Paulson and Zachary Quinto. Jessica Lange, yet again, delivers an outstanding performance, but this time as Sister Jude. Really keen to see how this season turns out. Hope this one has a proper conclusion.
