What's your fix?

After watching one episode of Nip/Tuck (the only one I have ever seen) and looking at the foreshadowing of the stylistic elements in the newest series of American Horror Story (also I have not seen) is the acceptance of stealing kidneys and leaving medical waste in a car. Both of which were pretty graphic and disturbing. I suppose one social issue would be how the public is okay with horror present on television. Another example would be how all of the components of horror are condensed into one series. This could be a reflection of how people have different needs that they seek while watching a show, and American Horror Story with its shifting historical and geographical settings, gives people that satisfaction. I guess there are people out there who need their fix of viewing gory, spooky-scary, and supernatural all into one. Just as the next person needs to know who Christian will sleep with next.
