Scream Queens

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?

"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!

Great, just a fantastic TV show After my sister trying to convince me to watch scream queens i finally gave into her and said i would watch the show just so once i finish it i could say "i told you so" because i knew i would hate the show, never have i been so wrong.

Even the first episode is amazing and i have read so many reviews saying it is stupid and poorly made but some people just don't understand that's the point. scream queens plays like an old slasher movie in a funny way. Its not meant to be taken to serious which some people just don't get. scream queens plays into the clichés like the jock and his girlfriend the mean blonde popular girl who would rather die then chip her nail polish, and i think its hilarious.

If American horror story was a bit to gory for you or glee was a bit to dull give scream queens a shot I think its a great show and it doesn't hurt to a least watch an episode.

Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) is the self-obsessed arrogant queen bee leading Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University. She can't bother to remember and names her minions all Chanel; Chanel #2 (Ariana Grande), Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd), and Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin). Twenty years earlier, there was a surprise birth and death at the sorority. Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the new dean. She tries to revoke the sorority but ends up opening pledging to all students. Various girls apply including Grace Gardner (Skyler Samuels) and Zayday Williams (Keke Palmer). As Chanel tries to drive out the new girls, somebody dressed as the Red Devil starts killing them. The second season has Munsch running a hospital which is haunted by new serial killer, the Green Meanie.

I love the Chanel on Chanel emotional violence. Emma Roberts' constant put down of Abigail Breslin is hilarious. The mystery part is less compelling. It becomes a series of killings without any rooting interest. Any investigation is just a bunch of random twists and dead ends. At its best, it's a fun skewering of the horror genre. At its worst, it's a boring meandering random murder mystery. Through it all, there is the irreverent Ryan Murphy brand of humor.

Scream Queens is a show that Iv'e held off on watching for the longest time as I truly didn't think it would be for me. After years of avoiding this show, I was pleasantly surprised when my girlfriend finally convinced me to watch it. Whether it was the low expectations or even the fsvtgoing in having no clue what I was about to watch but, I found this show to be very entertaining and fun. While this may not be the show for everyone as it is "over the top" I personally find its craziness to be its best feature given how intentional it was in order to poke fun at the horror/slasher genre. Speaking of how "over the top" this show can be, that aspect shines more than ever when referring to the characters themselves. Characters that would normally be ridiculous, or unbearable, are complimented by hilarious writing and incredible acting transforming those "unbearable" character into characters that are stupidly hilarious and fun to watch. This show manages to be an odd horror comedy while simultaneously being an interesting murder mystery. Long story short this show definitely left me wanting more and I was very bummed to find out that it had been canceled after only two seasons.
