Scream Queens

This series has the right balance for a comedy with some horror. It's less graphic than American Horror Story and less hectic than Glee. The horror isn't as sickening as AHS so a wider audience can watch it. The pace is less hectic and slapstick than Glee. The one liners are funnier and you have time to digest the jokes. It's more comedy than horror and I'm fine with that.

Emma Roberts is the queen bee of a sorority where murders are taking place. She is given a lot of the good lines and she delivers them quite well. You can see her learning to be a comedienne here. She looks prettier than in AHS. Abigail Breslin is a bit under utilized. Lea Michelle doesn't dominate the other cast and that's good.

Jamie Lee Curtis has a juicy role as Dean of the school. The guys seem a bit nondescript despite a Nick Jonas guest appearance.

Pleasantly surprised.

Holy crap this show is psycho. It's absolutely hilarious but who behaves this way around death. Although it's completely outrageous and over the top there were glimmers of sanity. But if you don't have a sense of humour then don't bother watching it...you won't like it. For everybody else this is a must watch show. I cannot get over how good it is and hope it retains it's awesomeness through each season.

It has taken heaps of inspiration from various pop culture references but it doesn't feel awkward or unnecessary. It just makes the show even more hilarious and relevant. It's not your average show but even so it reminds me of Glee, Pitch Perfect and Scream all rolled in together, just without the singing. Do yourself a favour and give this campy teen slasher series a go.

"FOX's" "Scream Queens" without a doubt has to be one of the wildest and most wicked new series of the TV season! It's a mixed blend of horror, comedy and drama suspense that each week keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat! From creator Ryan Murphy it's really a mix of "American Horror Story" meets "Glee". Anyway set at Wallace University a strange series of murders start to happen and soon it's thought that they are related to past murders from 1995. And the hunted include a group of sexy colored bra wearing sorority girls with witch pledge ice queen Chanel Oberlin(Emma Roberts) leading the way. Good supporting turns are given from other girls played by Abigail Breslin and Lea Michele and the head of it all is the classic scream queen herself Jamie Lee Curtis("Halloween"!)who's tough and no nonsense as the Dean Cathy Munsch. And the slick and silk red devil who's shown committing the blood murders each week just rocks it up with homicide fun! "Scream Queens" is a blast of fun, sex, blood, suspense, and drama it's one series to take a slash at and watch!

This is a brilliantly written, directed and shot series. I was shocked and deeply disappointed when it was cancelled. I miss it still. The photography and set design...along with the costumes were superb. It fascinated and of course repelled me in the parts it was supposed to! It was hilarious and biting in its take on our superficial ways. Sigh. I don't supposed anyone would ever bring it back?

This is clearly a show that some will appreciate and others will not. After reading some of the other reviews, maybe I like this show so much because I have never watched GLEE.

I think some reviewers have missed a couple things. First, this is not just a parody/homage to great horror movies. It is a parody of bad horror movies. Second, you're not in the real world anymore. You're in Slasher Universe, a universe of 1-dimensional characters, bad dialog, silly plots, terrible decision-making, and all the other horror conventions we've come to know and love. That this series of events could not possibly occur in the real world is exactly the point. This universe, while superficially similar to ours, operates very differently. It is populated by dumb jocks, corrupt or incompetent authority figures, earnest if clueless parents, killers in grotesque costumes, and of course SCREAM QUEENS. This is a show about clichés and conventions. If you have watched 3 slasher films in your life, then most everything in this show will seem familiar to you. To me, the silliness of the humor makes it more enjoyable than some of the poorly acted and directed movies that it satirizes.
