Scream Queens (2015–2016)
7/10
good at first, but a bit one note
27 October 2016
This horror parody mixes goofy, popular-girls comedy with slasher-style horror. And for a while, I really enjoyed this. But about two-thirds of the way through season one I began losing interest.

Scream Queens is basically variations on one joke involving a costumed serial killer. Much of the humor involves the awfulness of the sorority and frat sisters and the various offbeat death scenes. The story is elaborate but the focus on comedy means the plot is too silly to be really compelling and the characters stupidity becomes repetitive.

I watched all of season 1, although with less and less interest, and then watched one episode of season 2 just to see how they kept it going. Some new actors, a new killer, but basically the same joke.

I give it a 7 because it was really quite enjoyable for over half of season 1, but I'm checking out now.
