Fans are savagely dragging the 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' finale before it even airs

You have very little time and two very ugly bowl cuts in the way of wrapping this up.

Major spoilers for American Horror Story: Apocalypse lie ahead.

It's that time of year again!

American Horror Story went strong for a few weeks. Unfortunately, the series is now taking its annual swan dive into the abyss of confusing, unfinished, left-for-dead plot lines that long-time fans have come to know and despise.

Apocalypse's tradition of filler episodes went into full effect during weeks 7 and 8. Episode 9 heralded the beginning of the season's attempt at a clumsy wrap-up. (Could that time travel reveal be more painfully predictable?)

And next week's finale will likely take the bright-but-brief Satanic narrative out with a thud, bringing AHS's 2018 run to a perfunctory end.

Fans of the series absolutely saw this coming, but they're still understandably bummed out. And they've taken to Twitter and Reddit to air out their many complaints.

Ranging from pessimistic to vicious, here's what fans have to say about American Horror Story: Apocalypse's impending doomsday.

A reasonable wish

Once again pointing out those god-awful bowl cuts

Maybe only 10 episodes was a good thing?

But the short season really rushed those character arcs

A very specific dig at creator Ryan Murphy

Hopes for an unprecedented Season 9 continuation

Pointing out Apocalypse's ludicrous number of flashbacks

Growing concern about Coven's Kyle

And this B.D. Wong fan who is just done

Fingers crossed that everybody is wrong and it turns out to be great! Sure, that isn't likely. But a girl can dream nightmare.
