Earlier, my editor messaged me to ask if I’m reviewing any shows this season. I told him no so he then asked if I could do him a favor. Being a writer with a bit too much time, I said sure. I’m a straight 28-year-old male who hates horror and Ryan Murphy shows (excluding seasons 1 and 2 of Glee–what? I have two ears and a heart). So of course, my editor convinced me to watch Scream Queens. I hate you, Bilal. I hate you so much. I hate horror and I hate Ryan Murphy.
“Do me a favor Terence, can you watch Scream Queens for me?”
“Sure. Of course.”
I hate you, Bilal. (Editor’s Note: I had no idea about any of this – Bilal)
Here are my reactions to the show in chronological order:
- Ryan Murphy track record of shock shows: Nip/Tuck, American Horror Story, definitely not my shtick. Glee? OK. Never watched Popular or The New Normal.
- Was “Waterfalls” the basic bitch song in 1995? Dunno, I was 8 at the time.
- Cleanest sorority house I’ve ever seen.
- Chanel? Her name is Chanel? What’s her middle name? Prada?
- KKT? Was KKK too on the nose?
- White Mammy, house slave, not okay.
- Jamie Lee Curtis, thank god, someone who I don’t already hate.
- Aren’t we playing a bit too into stereotypes here?
- Spray Tan Acid, at least that was creative.
- Nina Pedrad, amazing. I have a feeling the adults will carry this god forsaken show.
- Diane Sawyer, KKT, lol.
- Sideboob/White party, amazing.
- Grace looks like she’s 25.
- Game of Thrones/Sorority, y’know, except for less nudity, less intelligent writing, less character development, less Emmy’s, so nothing in common.
- Grace: “Oh, my mom died there! I should definitely join!” I hope she dies first.
- That is the biggest dorm room I’ve ever seen in my life.
- Sassy Black roommate stereotype, Jesus, speak more jive Shaft.
- And be more basic, Grace.
- Cindy McCain, Megyn Kelly, really? What, no Ann Coulter?
- Lea Michele? I guess if Ryan Murphy likes you, he likes you. Except you know, this time, her singing can’t cover up whatever drivel this is.
- Candle Vlogger, points for creativity, Murphy.
- Chad and Boone, bro-tastic names.
- Oh psych majors. Us neuro majors laugh.
- And golf bros. Fuck golf bros.
- I would actually watch a Michael Bay directed rom-com. Do two explosions having sex make smaller explosions?
- Though seriously, hippies are the worst.
- Fatties and ethnics, I think I qualify as both?
- Wrong way to pronounce “autumnal”, Emma Roberts.
- Fake coffee place, the guy that takes your order does not make the coffee, be realistic Ryan Murphy.
- Ok, Grace can’t act, and she looks like she’s 30.
- Senorita Awesome, ok, and she can’t flirt either.
- Poop smells like gingerbeer? Really bro?
- Oh, you write for the school newspaper barista dude? How original.
- Oooooh, convicted sex offender. Actually original.
- I feel walking in heels is the only life skill these girls have mastered.
- Oh, also, the actors playing the student roles are just terrible.
- WTF WTF WTF
- I hate you, Bilal.
- These bitches are playing “face burned off by oil” way too chill. I work in an ER, this is not fucking normal.
- And these pledges are way too eager to become accomplices to murder #2.
- Jamie Lee Curtis, cougar, I can see it.
