Gaga's 'American Horror Story' is here

Lady Gaga's hotel is officially welcoming guests.

One would guess there's plenty of vacancy in the "American

Horror Story: Hotel," since it is likely to give potential clients

the creeps.

It's one of six shows to watch this week:

1. 'American Horror Story: Hotel,' Wednesday, 10 p.m. ET, FX

Co-creator Ryan Murphy pulled off a coup casting Lady Gaga

in a major role as the proprietor of a mysterious hotel in the

fifth season of his disturbing anthology series.

Alongside his cast of regulars and semi-regulars (but without

Jessica Lange), this year's series also stars Matt Bomer,

Max Greenfield, Naomi Campbell and Darren Criss.

The typically surreal trailer gives us a few clues as to what

to expect, but with this series, there's always an element of

shock and surprises.

2. 'The Affair' Sunday 10 p.m., Showtime

The Golden Globe winner for best drama series is back, and

for the uninitiated, one reason it has won over many critics is

the fact that it uses multiple perspectives and jumps

timelines; the steamy show includes a murder mystery and

great performances by Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Joshua

Jackson and Maura Tierney.
