You've completely missed the point of the entire series then.
It was Ryan Murphy's stated aim, in many interviews before the show started, and since, to comment on things in America's past and present that are troublesome, by using horror tropes filtered through American history and legends. This season alone they had references to the Salem witch trials- this happened in Salem, Massachusetts, not anywhere else- and slavery which plaqued America in it's early years, and used specific historical characters from New Orleans, which were involved in the voodoo religion which arose among the slaves.
The other two seasons did similar things. Ir's like you don't even know what show you've been watching. It's no wonder you have such a low opinion of the show with your lack of knowledge of the show itself. They didn't name the show American Horror Story because it sounded nice- it has a meaning.
I think the third season suffers only in comparison with the first two seasons. Murphy and Falchuck set the bar impossibly high.
