COVEN is a women’s story. The main characters are women of all ages from teen to senior. Finally, the women are in power and older actresses have surprisingly meaty roles. The young actresses have their parts to play but finally we see some delightfully talented older actresses show the youngsters what it is all about. Jessica Lange again plays the aging beauty in a race against time. This time she is Fiona Goode, the SUPREME witch and needless to say there is nothing good about her.
Cast members from previous seasons also return. Evan Peters has been “put together” and gets to show some fine acting chops and emotions without the use of words. Jamie Brewer returns as Nan. She’s not your typical witch. Kudos to the writers for using this lovely actress with Down Syndrome. Nan’s romantic story with a neighbor boy begins to shine and then fizzles. Here was a wonderful chance for a different love story that was not fulfilled.
COVEN is not for the weak spirited. Blood and gore flow in this season in a story that sometimes loses its way in a mesh of story lines. Kathy Bates as the gloriously wicked Delphine LaLaurie makes the horror of slavery seen in 12 YEARS A SLAVE seem like a day in the park. LaLaurie, based on a real person, abuses and tortures her slaves in a way that would make even the strongest weak in the heart. COVEN seems to have crossed some lines with this horror. Nonetheless, Bates gives the role her all and nothing can outshine her. And then there is the lovely Angela Bassett looking more sexy than ever and somehow has worked her magic to look 20 years younger than her age in real life. Her Marie Laveau is deliciously evil in a shockingly frightening way.
Gorgeous Lily Rabe is the witch named Misty Day who has the power to resurrect the dead. She is obsessed with Stevie Nicks and before we know it the rock legend appears in an a couple of odd scenes where she plays herself. Stevie sings a couple of songs and it all seems so out of place—a chance to just fill some air time it seems.
Sprinkled in all the horror are bits of comedy. Hey, come on. If you are a good witch looking in to an open grave and you know a bad witch is standing behind you, can’t you or the audience guess what is coming next? The light moments provide some respite from all the decadent evil and horror in this season.
Here is a magnificent cast in some seriously meaty roles in an often gruesome story. It is not for the easily offended or upset. The storyline can get confusing as people die but are resurrected and it seems like even those who are immortal somehow end of dying. At times, nothing is clear. If you are in some sort of witch induced limbo for decades and are released are you dead or alive and how do you end up with an apartment and job? Ask the ax man.
Surprisingly, COVEN loses steam and energy in the last two episodes as the witches test each other to be the next SUPREME. It becomes slow moving and tedious as if the writers had exhausted all their creativity by the end of the season. It is a disappointing and unfulfilling season finale but it was sure some wild ride getting there.
For this season, Angela Basset and Kathy Bates make an appearance in a story set in New Orleans and centered around a coven of witches and the school to train the younger witches. The background mythos is that the coven is descended, for the most part, from the original Salem witches who scattered after the trials and attempted to blend into society while maintaining power in the background. More importantly, over the years the strength and numbers of the coven have been dwindling as the power of the witches has weakened over time.
The story unfolds as the head of the coven, portrayed by Jessica Lange, comes back into New Orleans to reassert her leadership while spending years away, enjoying her power, but shirking her responsibilities. Her daughter, portrayed by Sarah Paulson, has been running the school, and in many ways the coven, for years in her stead. From there, the show explores the growth in power of the younger witches, the desperate clinging to power of the older witches, and a power struggle with Angela Bassett's neighboring voodoo magic.
As with all of the seasons, the story shows flashbacks in "history", while mostly staying in the present and includes top flight writing and acting with an often graphic depiction of both violence and sex. This season, especially, seems to be the finest yet, as the coven background provides an even stronger basis that allows the actors to explore their characters and the writers to introduce a wider variety of conflicts, mystery and magic. Lange seems to revel in the stronger, more assertive character in this season, and the introduction of the talents of Bates and Bassett has strengthened the acting talent even further. Given the focus on the female characters this season, most of the stronger male actors in past seasons aren't part of the mix, unfortunately. The reintroduction of Taissa Farmiga, who was in the first season, works very well in a role that is well suited to her. The other supporting actors and their characters has also been well done, with the depth of the writing showing as a large number of them have prominent roles that vary from week to week.
Overall, I have really enjoyed the entire season, particularly watching the depth of the story as more and more of the mystery is filled in with each episode. If the prior two seasons are any indication, the series will only get better towards the end as well.
