Is "pretentious" the word you're looking for?

AHS has always been a trainwreck. A couple seasons were vaguely entertaining trainwecks, I suppose, but the hotel one was dreadfully boring. (I was pleased that they used Sisters of Mercy's 'Neverland' in it, though)
I tried the first and the third season but stopped after two or three episodes. It felt like they just had five too many writers on the team or something.
