Hey Jibult! Yeah I was disappointed when I found out about the season thing too. But trust me, this show is always sooo good you won't regret it. You can't even begin to imagine the complexity these writers put into it. As far as your question goes, it really doesn't matter what order you watch them in. For a quick breakdown, season 2 had a LOT of twists and it was very dark and twisted. It's all about patients in a mental ward in the '50s. It's really crazy. Season 3 is by far my favorite, but I seem to be in the minority with that one. A lot of people thought season 3 didn't live up to its potential but I disagree. I was obsessed with it. The whole coven/witch theme was just so cool. And Emma Roberts was fucking hilarious in it! So far, season 4 is pretty creepy too. I'm loving it already. Emma is in this season as well and she's such a good fit for this show. And who doesn't love Jessica Lange? If you're scared of clowns, this is the season for you lol. Anyway, all seasons are great so I would just suggest watching them in order of your interest as far as asylums, covens, and freak shows go.
