celeb news Jamie Lee Curtis thought 'Scream Queens' was going to "break television"

[NausAllien]

S1 was fine. Nothing to write home about, but fine.

 

Now S2 was a MESS. For some reason they decided to try and keep continuity with the first season, rather than go the AHS route and make each season its own story (aka an anthology), with the same cast portraying different characters. That was a terrible mistake that made the second season a mess from the get go. Of course, the fact it was so unnecessarily convoluted didn't help.

I feel atrl played a part in its cancelation. Going after to discuss it on here ruined the expirience for me after season 2 premiered. It was the AJLT thread where everyone would diss every episode and pray for the cancelation even tho I enjoyed what I just watched. Now of course everyone is sad about the cancelation in here

If it was on Netflix, it would have SMASHED. I firmly believe that.

Maybe now that Dahmer is a hit he could bring it to Netflix or Hulu if he has the rights to it

She's right, the show was brilliant but seriously only a gay audience (for the majority) could have appraciated its humor in general.

 

Also a public channel like FOX wasn't the right choice for this, the show would have worked better on FX, HBO or Netflix where they could have gone full unhinged.

Epitome of a cult classic. We'll be talking about how it was robbed for decades!!

[TheWayWeWere]

first season is an UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE

 

 

S2 was .... uhm...bad 

[BambiStar]

It broke gay television. Unfortunately, echo chambers only carry so far

[Johnny Jacobs]

Bich me 2 da fack

 

But people are tasteless so it's not shocking 

[justjess]

Okay I just got into this show yesterday and I have to say it is AWESOME. I'm gonna regret finishing season 1 and getting to s2 based on some of ya'll's reactions.

SQ s1 was sooo good. I hate Ryan for giving us false hope and saying he was gonna reboot it in 2020 then nothing happened  

[Bussea]

It was so overrated. gays love anything that has a bitchy white women for them to live their mean girl fantasy out through vicariously.

 

Season 1 was cute tho  Denise >>>>>

I still say it to this day

season 1 was so good

[Mystic Boy]

I think i rarely laughed that hard during a series show

The Taylor Swift s shades were out of this world

[ConceptD]

It started so well and I love it for what it was but it was just all over the place. The comedy was fine, but it should have also had a darkness and it didn’t and just ended up feeling like a season of AHS and the finale and killer reveal was so lacklustre and horrid for what could have been an iconic killer. I remember watching and everybody was predicting these wild finales, but unfortunately it didn’t feel like the writers took it that seriously and that’s why I think it flopped. The fact that it was outlasted by the very mediocre Scream TV series says it all. Emma roberts was born to play Chanel though and at least her role is remembered and iconic to this day.

like any other ryan murphy series a bunch of monkeys with typewriters took over writing by episode 4-5 

This is exactly the vibe it gave. It didn’t have a very clear story and it all fell apart with anal sex jokes and over the top ‘gay’ characters. Lea Michelle wasn’t very good either. 

[BlackStar_93]

I really enjoyed the show (not so much S2) and it had so much potential: a stellar cast, amazing sets/wardrobe, great directors, etc. However, the show truly fell into the typical Ryan Murphy trap (see: AHS) of becoming too much style over substance with the plot becoming awkward, convoluted, and just plain nonsensical. It's such a shame because the whole concept was so good and the first few episodes of S1 really set the show up to be something spectacular, he just let it down with piss-poor writing and a lazy finale. 

 

Emma, Keke, Jamie and Niecy were the absolute highlights of this show and it was purely their performances that kept me watching tbh. 

 

I think the show would've been much, much bigger if it came out a few years later once Netflix became HUGE. Putting it on cable TV was a big mistake in my opinion, it would've really taken off on streaming.

It's worth watching S2 if you enjoy S1! It's not terrible, but it just pales in comparison to S1 and the location/killer feels awkward and pigeonholed into the plot. S2 comes across as more of a fan fiction rather than a legitimate follow-up to S1. However, like I said: it's worth a watch as most of the original cast return and there are some genuinely funny moments. 

 

Justice for Scream Queens: Summer Camp. The season that should have happened. 

[Quiqui4eva]

ok but season 1 was a moment  

[Khal]

Honestly, compared to some of the shite on streaming today, even S2 was a masterpiece

Thiis! I love the whole amazing cast but the way Niecy CARRIED the show! This show is where I got to know her from and shw stole every scene she was on!

 

I'm so glad she's getting her flowers as an actress on Dahmer!
