I just spend the past couple days binge watching Scream Queens. In my defense, I recently got my wisdom teeth removed and thus needed some laid back recovery time. It is also very, very addictive.
I am a huge fan of American Horror Story, so when I saw that Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk were working on another show, I was definitely intrigued. I decided to give it a shot. Overall, I'm pretty happy I did. The show has not yet been renewed for a second season, but I'm really hoping it will be, partially because I did get pretty invested in the story, but mostly because it ended on quite the cliffhanger, as season finales tend to.
When I first began watching the show, I was sure I liked it. I didn't find the characters to be particularly likeable (and yes, I know, the characters are not likeable, that's kind of their character), but I didn't really get that hooked into it, in the sense that I needed to know what would happen to them. I think you need to get past the first couple episodes to be really hooked. Because I watched the pilot and second episode and felt kinda meh about it, but as I continued I definitely got really really into it.
The show is a great mix of horror and comedy. If you have a dark sense of humour, you'll definitely like this one. Of course, it is more of a girly kind of show in my opinion, since the plot surrounds a group of sorority girls and the main characters are all female. If this sounds like something that might interest you, I definitely recommend it, because it is quite entertaining.
Emma Roberts is so great at acting out those love-to-hate characters. If you liked her in American Horror Story: Coven, then this is definitely up your alley. The rest of the star-studded cast is also really great in my opinion, notably Jamie Lee Curtis, who again is another love-to-hate character.

Now. I need to discuss the finale. I feel like it was kind of a Pretty Little Liars finale in the sense that, I kinda felt disappointed but I was also really into it. I was really hoping for a bit more shock factor to be honest. Out of the Chanel's left, Hester seemed like the most obvious to be the Red Devil. So that, to me, was kinda disappointing. And seeing her pass all of the blame onto the Chanel's was kind of predictable but entertaining nonetheless. However past that reveal, I think the episode thoroughly redeemed itself. It was so entertaining. I think seeing Hester's backstory and planning was pretty interesting and The Chanel's in the asylum was pretty funny.
Not too sure how I feel about the Dean Munsch/Wes relationship, and while I was not surprised about Pete being involved with the Red Devil murders (and omg how creepy was he while trying to justify his actions to Grace?), but I am kind of sad that he died.
Of course, the episode ends with the return of the Red Devil about to kill Chanel in the asylum leaving us all like WHAT and dying for a season two. Soooooo I really really hope it gets renewed, because that cliffhanger did exactly what cliffhangers are meant to do and I NEED to know what happens next.
