This is a Region 1 DVD, the standard for US and Canadian players, so it plays in US DVD players and in Blu-ray players. Episodes are in widescreen (1.78:1) with English Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles. The season is rated TV-MA.
Coven is set in present-day New Orleans at Miss Robichaux's Academy, a school for young witches descended from Salem.

Jessica Lange plays Fiona Goode, the coven's Supreme, and Sarah Paulson plays her daughter Cordelia, who teaches at the school. Kathy Bates plays the socialite Delphine LaLaurie, with Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Emma Roberts and Denis O'Hare in the main cast.
The season earned 17 Primetime Emmy nominations. Jessica Lange won for Lead Actress and Kathy Bates for Supporting Actress, and the show also won Creative Arts Emmys for costumes and hairstyling.
The location featurette goes behind the scenes in New Orleans, which makes the American Horror Story Coven DVD a good fit for fans of the setting as well as the story.

SEASON 3 REACHES NEW HEIGHTS OF TERROR, SUSPENSE AND CONFUSION
AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN takes us to new levels of horror, terror, debauchery and suspense. The writers throw in everything imaginable in Season 3. Witchcraft, voodoo, incest, murder, torture, mutilation, resurrection and maybe…just maybe some redemption. It’s a freakingly creepy and chilly.
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.

Wicked Fun
By far my favorite season of American Horror Story. The lighter side of evil was a nice reprieve after Asylum and I love how over the top they went with each of the characters and the actresses all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves throughout. Angela Bassett and Kathy bates were phenomenal adds to the regular AHS crew but the glory must go to Lange who earned the Emmy she received for this season. We are in turns able to despise and sympathize with her all season long. I can’t imagine a season will ever top this one for me.
I have one caveat, the only reason I couldn’t give it five stars was the portrayal of Papa Legba. It was really unfortunate that they went there with an important religious figure – imagine if the show had Jesus appear and demand that his followers murder schoolchildren – that would be the equivalent and people wouldn’t have stood for it.
