Maybe I'm a curmudgeonly old woman who can't stand the flippant way these three male writers treat female identity politics. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/27/2015
4/5
Shiny, gory and whip-smart, Scream Queens thus attempted to pummel the viewer into submission with sheer, rictus-grinning relentlessness. And it worked. Go to Full Review Rob Sheffield Rolling Stone 09/29/2015
Let's call it right now: Scream Queens is already looking like the smartest move Ryan Murphy's ever made - it has all the best elements of Glee and American Horror Story, but it tops them both. Go to Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com 08/27/2018
2.5/4
Something starts clicking and the show finds the scary funny shocking mix it's looking for and the template is there for what should be one of fall's more entertaining shows. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/21/2018
It's too much of a cartoon - and not even a good one. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Decider 12/19/2017
We're already coming back for season two, even if we have no idea where these characters could possibly go from here. It'll probably be fun to find out, though. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kashley S. @kashley_sneller Oct 6 Loved this show! One of the best cast I’ve seen and each person killed their role! Wish they would bring it back! See more Thomas S @RT47483959 May 24 Very funny and smartly written. If you don’t take it too seriously it’s a really well done show! Emma Robert’s performance is top tier! See more angela g @Sunflower378 01/15/2025 Season one is better than season 2 See more Platinum S @RT41415336 11/28/2024 If you love campy thrillers and pop culture this is the perfect show for you. it’s in your face, the jokes are nonstop and you literally won’t be able to stop watching. i have watched season 1 and 2 over 3 times each and i can easily say i would be beyond ecstatic if they brought this show back. even though the shows vibe is very 2015, it still feels like it could be a timeless classic. this show has a cult following for a reason and i truly believe it will only become more popular overtime, i may sound biased but god is this show good. See more sofia g @RT70133157 10/13/2024 I really tried. In the beginning I was really hoping the first scene was going to end with a director shouting "cut!", and it would all have been the filming of a movie within the series, but no. You're watching people pretend and overdo everything. I don't care about the mystery, it's just too bad. See more onio w @RT79138358 11/03/2023 one of my favorite shows, to be honest, the mix of drama and comedy was perfect. the weird and dumb decisions the characters made were SO funny I laughed my fucking ass off See more Read all reviews
