AMERICAN HORROR STORY - Season 1.10 - SMOULDERING CHILDREN

The series is dying painfully.  This episode feels like filler.  Nothing's happening between Ben and Viv at all.  The only progression they've shown in the entire episode is that Ben now realizes Viv has been telling the truth about being raped.

We learn that Violet is dead but at this point, do we really care?  It's not a shocker when the story is boring.  For the shock to work, we'd have to be invested in the character.

We also learn that it was Tate that set Larry on fire.  Again, the revelation isn't shocking since we don't care for either of these characters.

Who are we supposed to root for here?  Without that central character to emphathize with, the show feels  empty and hollow.
