Scream Queens (2015–2016)
7/10
More comedy than horror
3 October 2015
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.
