Scream Queens

[NWguy]

I've watched most, if not all, of Ryan Murphy's stuff - "Nip/Tuck", "Glee", "American Horror Story".

I hope "Scream Queens" doesn't rely too much on stereotypes, although since it's for entertainment purposes, it likely will. I mean, who would watch a TV show about young women raising money for a philanthropy?

It was stereotype central. It was farce and not parody territory. Someone I know IRL dropped it after ten minutes.

Unfortunately, it was SLOW farce. If you're going to do farce, it should move a lot more briskly than Scream Queens moved for the premiere. They really need to step up the pace.
