'Scream Queens' comes off as trying too hard.
I get that the show is not meant to be taken seriously and it's supposed poke fun at current social behaviors but their attempt at humor fails miserably. Instead, I get quite irritated and I find myself cringing almost half the time as the scenes are constantly silly.
The characters lack depth and charm – they're either way too stereotypical or way too weird. I've got to say though, Emma Roberts really shines in this. Her character reminds me of her role in the movie 'Wild Child' where she also plays a rich, spoiled brat. She's the one that makes the show easier to watch for me.
At this point, I don't give the slightest care in the world as to who's the Red Devil as there's basically zero build up from the get go. Such a shame as the costume, makeup and music choices were all quite wonderful. As a horror comedy, the overall lack of suspense and humor makes 'Scream Queens' unwatchable.
Or maybe it's just me.
