Season 1 Review: Co-creator Murphy has been wittily mocking adolescent caste systems ever since he produced the cult sitcom Popular in 1999, and he's never been sharper than in Scream Queens, which is studded with affectionate allusions to everything from Animal House to Caligula. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The joy, though, is listening to Roberts’ Chanel Oberlin bark at her minions and security officer Denise Hemphill (a brilliant Niecy Nash) savor the show’s writing. They’re funny in a fresh, interesting way that fits nicely with Murphy’s social commentary. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Scream Queens feels in almost every way like American Horror Story Lite, which is not so bad. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This one’s just so relentless. As in “Glee” or “American Horror Story,” Murphy delights in misdirection and abrupt shifts of tone, both of which he does well. The dialogue is snappy and no pretension escapes un-nailed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ultimately, with its ceaseless meanness and barrage of put-downs, Scream Queens is more exhausting than exhilarating. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Scream Queens is completely clueless about what’s actually scary, and its comedy is ugly and mean-spirited, full of hateful stereotypes and casual misogyny. Read full review
