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) Oct 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 Sep 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 EJ Moreno EJ Moreno Oct 6, 2026
A series way too ahead of its time. And Ryan Murphy proved once again he can make iconic television characters. Go to Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com Aug 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 Jun 21, 2018

Georgia P @RT70958088 Sep 14, 2026 I loved the campiness of this show. Emma Robert’s and original final girl Jamie Lee Curtis hold it together! Love all the series See more Meddy S @RT51609981 Jun 17, 2026 A popular girl from a wealthy family who loves parties and friends. The scene I loved was when she ends up in a psychiatric hospital after being accused of murder and disowned by her parents. She's about to experience the greatest adventure of her life among deranged, conscienceless people. A very funny film to watch if you want to relax and take your mind off things, while also being terrified. See more Kashley S. @kashley_sneller Oct 6, 2025 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, 2025 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 Jan 15, 2025 Season one is better than season 2 See more Platinum S @RT41415336 Nov 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.
