However, there is a reason that season 12s finale wasAmerican Horror Storys lowest-rated episodeever.
If anything was going to saveAmerican Horror Story,Delicatewould have been it.
With a timely storyline that reflected on bodily autonomy and feminism via aRosemarys Babyriff,Delicateseemed set for success.
Instead, the seasons ending earned some of the shows worst reviews ever.
American Horror Story: Delicates average viewership per episode lingered around the 0.3 million mark.
For its first few seasons,American Horror Storycould silence its critics with the shows impressive audience share.
However,American Horror Storyhasnt had an average audience of over 1 million viewers since 2018.

While not perfect,American Horror Storiesis helpfully limited by its single-episode storytelling.
WhileAmerican Horror Storywastes characterswho had untapped potential,American Horror Storiesuses its shorter runtime to tell self-contained stories.
Not all the shows episodes work, but the series doesnt share the most frustrating issue with its predecessor.
Namely,American Horror Storiescant introduce interesting characters and storylines only to drop them without a second thought.
The shows shorter runtime means the cast is smaller, and the storytelling is more focused as a result.
