Wow, completely the opposite for me. I'm not sure I can express all the reasons I hated S6 E1, but I'll try:
First and foremost, if the POV narrative/"dramatic reenactment" format isn't the most crappy, overused form of pseudo-documentary bull**** TV, then I don't know what is.
With Jessica Lange gone, Lily Rabe is easily the best actor AHS has left in the stable, and she is completely wasted in this format.
With every dramatic element bookended by narration, it destroys the flow of events and makes it really difficult to build any decent amount of tension.
Too many Blair Witchy-elements: Dangling stick figures, dropped cameras filming sideways, etc.
Sarah Paulson (whom I love) and Cuba Gooding Jr (meh) are just boring together.
And just FYI, the order goes: Asylum>Coven>>>Murder House/Hotel (a toss-up)>>>>>Freakshow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Roanoke (so far)
