The series begins with a fantastic episode called “Matinée.” We meet young Simon Williams (played by Kameron J Meadows) and his father, Sanford (Bechir Sylvain), as they’re completely captivated by a delightfully silly 1980s Wonder Man movie. Years later, adult Simon (Abdul-Mateen II) is anxiously getting ready for a small role on American Horror Story. He’s a very careful actor, spending a lot of time planning his performance, which irritates the director. Things get even worse when Simon returns to his cramped apartment – shared with his girlfriend, Vivian (Olivia Thirlby) – in his old Toyota Camry.
