Cary Fukunaga was one of the hotter directorial names of 2014. He directed every episode of the celebrated first season of HBO’s True Detective, including such virtuoso moments as the famed single-take tracking shot of a gun fight, as well as the haunted house finale and a whole lot of brooding Matthew McConaughey monologues. Fukunaga’s work on the anthology would eventually win him an Emmy. The director, who previously helmed 2009’s Sin Nombre and 2011’s Jane Eyre, went on to direct Netflix’s well-received African war drama Beasts of No Nation in 2015, and also managed to have nothing whatsoever to do with True Detective’s much-maligned second season....

There are plenty of bad people in American Horror Story, but in terms of being outright villainous, there’s a thin line. Some of the show’s characters are murderers, some are demons, and some are just down on their luck people who end up making life-altering choices. But seeing as AHS is all about the darkness, it’s no wonder that antagonists would reign supreme. Which begs the question: which of these characters are evil, and which of these characters are villains?...
