SCREAM QUEENS is shaping up to be a cultural phenomenon

It looks like Ryan Murphy has hit it out of the park with his new show SCREAM QUEENS, set to debut on Sep. 22. Entertainment insiders are calling it the best new TV show in years:

Kristin Dos Santos: Hands down my favorite new show of the season. Emma Roberts will make you feel like you can't breathe with her perfection because she SLAYS in this role—it is the role she was born to do, playing the worst, most bitchtastic sorority girl of all time, Chanel. And the entire cast, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Niecy Nash, Keke Palmer and some breakout stars you soon will know well, are such ridiculous fun to watch, you'll find yourself craving more when each episode ends. Bitchy, insane, and full of jaw-dropping death scenes you will laugh-scream at (that's now a thing), Scream Queens is the best new show I've seen in a very long time.

Tierney Bricker: Listen up, idiot hookers (Can I call you that?), SQ is, hands down, the best new show of the fall. It's fun. It's scary. It's glamorous. And it's freakin' HILARIOUS. And Emma Roberts? Pretty sure she was born to SLAY Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's dialogue. The rest of the cast is aces too. I'd say set your DVRs now but this is a cancel-your-plans-stay-home-and-watch-live kind of show. And I guarantee it's more 96 percent more entertaining than the plans you would've had anyway.

Chris Harnick: Niecy Nash, I love you. She steals the show. I have been a fan of hers since Reno 911! and Clean House, now thanks to Getting On and Scream Queens I am even more a member of Niecy's fan club. And Jamie Lee Curtis is just flawless. There's no other word for her. I am into it.

Jean Bentley: Hands down my favorite pilot of the fall. It's fun, gorgeous, campy in all the right ways, and I cannot believe some of the dialogue they got away with! Plus, Lea Michele in a neck brace is basically my new religion.

Lauren Piester: I was just going to leave you with "yes, absolutely, x1000" because that's really all you need, but I also feel like I need to say more, because it's just so fun. The acting's great, the jokes are perfectly crafted, and the screams are truly artful. I'm in love.

What an absurd statement. He has a ton of faults but he is not a pedophile. Even Bryan Singer is not a pedophile and his tastes run younger than Murphys.

Also of course the pilot is going to be good. Of course the show will start strong. THIS IS WHO RYAN MURPHY IS, no one should be surprised. We all know it will turn to crap.

R8, you can take your non sequitur and blow me.

The "pride" one might take in a Gay man having power in Hollywood (hello David Geffen and the rest of the Velvet Mafia), has nothing to do with cunty Emma Roberts and her cunty aunt being unwatchable. Idiot.

R11, your "reasons" are bullshit. Ryan Murphy is not a pedophile. I have my reasons for suspecting that those who constantly see pedophiles where there aren't any are pedophiles themselves. And dicks.

Thanks for the warning, R12.

Thanks op. Ignore the "PR SHILL!!!" Goblins! I can't wait!

I love all the DL snaggle-toofs tripping over each other to be the first to scream about how much it will suck.

Thanks R11. I think it's great you'd call someone a pedophile online! Oh, but wait! It turns out you only "have good reason to SUSPECT he's a pedophile". Well that clears things up. What a fucking dump-truck-dumb-fuck DICK thing to say.

Also ANYONE who thinks a Ryan Murphy show won't have A Gay character is also a Brain Trust.

Actually, those who've seen more than the pilot say it gets even stronger as the season progresses.

Ryan Murphy has said that Scream Queens will follow the same formula as AHS, in that the show will change settings and storylines with each season.

I couldn't even make it all the way through the trailer; I can't imagine trying to watch the whole show. And I agree with the comments about the talent-free Emma Roberts - though Jamie Lee Curtis looks great!

Murphy's shows always go horribly awry. Always.

And I never understood why we should celebrate him. His shows are peculiarly homophobic, sometimes mean-spiritedly so.

He's a hack. He has some creative ideas, but he inevitably can't stop himself from going off the rails.

r34 sorry most of us are not 16 year old school girls who only need to see a shirtless male torso on tv and consider it the best show like ever. i would think storylines and compelling characters with great dialogue would make a show more interesting

by Anonymousreply 35September 13, 2015 12:46 AM

I am afraid the overhype is going to work against it. There always seems to be a 'revolt' when the audience is TOLD something is going to be fantastic and doesn't discover it themselves.

I am hoping for the best. If it follows the AHS model, it could work. Even that show has had its hit and miss seasons/moments, but I could see Scream Queens doing different decades, etc.

It can't be any worse than that awful 'Scream' MTV reboot, which sucked. Of course, I am waaaaaaay out of the target audience for that one.

As I have with Glee and American Horror Story, I will definitely give this one a shot.

I've stuck with AHS, I abandoned 'Glee by season five.

R34 is typical of the sort of people who watch this trash and attempt to defend it. Note how there's never any actual defense, just "jealous much." No, I'm not jealous of Ryan Murphy's inability to structure a story and to maintain momentum for a multi-year series when other writers can do that and so much more.

I'm MUCH more looking forward to AHS -- I tried watching Coven but it felt too much like it was made for seventeen year old tumblr girls and so I gave up. Freak Show felt like more of exactly the same so I didn't even bother. And Scream Queens feels like that to the millionth power.

But I loved Murder House and liked Asylum, and I'm hoping he returns to something more like that for Hotel.

there’s a lot to love about Scream Queens’ opening two hours. The show packs a serious punch driven by a deranged sense of confidence that’s often found in the best of Murphy’s work.

The only thing I saw Emma Roberts in on TV was the pilot of Delirium. In spite of a great director in Rodrigo Garcia and Daren Kagasoff giving her the eye, she had all the charisma of a soggy piece of cardboard. Very pretty - very dull - a serious case of the Natalie Portmans.

Maybe she'll be more suited to a hammy role.
