	Author	Review
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"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. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The performances are enjoyable, for the most part, but the script is surprisingly flat for a Murphy-Falchuk show."	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"There is an energy (...) most other new shows are missing. It's different. And it has Curtis. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"It’s an admirable impulse but turning it into comedy can be tough work, and some of those occasions in 'Scream Queens' (...) are clumsy and last too long."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The series simply feels too derivative (...) So while the casting and format should be enough to help 'Scream Queens' make some initial noise ratings-wise, creatively speaking, there’s just not much here to shout about."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Boasts sharp writing and outsized performances rather than scares."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Robust but repetitive."	NEU
