Scream Queens, Ep. 1.09, “Ghost Stories”
For at least one episode, temporary that it may be, Scream Queens found a solution to its problem of putting decent to great actors in situations that are either boring from a plot perspective or poorly executed by the dialogue or acting involved. As easy as it may seem with 20/20 vision, simply putting all of the characters who are the most over the top in either a villainous or purely campy way in scenes together cracks the code of how to make the show less of a slog between murders. There are still multiple spots in “Ghost Stories” where the momentum lags, mostly in scenes that involve two or more of the Chanels, but the return of Boone, some great Denise Hempfield moments, and some major clues in the murder mystery make up for those few boring parts.

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.08, “Mommie Dearest”
With only four episodes left, it is clear the show is content to leave all of the major reveals for the last few hours rather than having the story spread out evenly in throughout the entire season. More

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.07, “Beware of Young Girls”
The closing sequence of this episode is one of the best, if not outright so, things that Scream Queens has done thus far. More

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.06, “Seven Minutes in Hell”
During the episodes where Scream Queens is more mediocre than edgy or shocking, the watchability comes down to the characterizations of each Greek member and the actors’ performances. More

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.05, “Pumpkin Patch”
Even though many things happen during “Pumpkin Patch” that can rightly be described as important developments, this episode is the closest to a table-setting hour that Scream Queens has had. More

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.03, “Chainsaw”
The farther Scream Queens moves away from its obsession with the horrendous Chanel Oberlin, the more appealing it becomes to watch as an entertaining gambit rather than just a scare factory. More

Scream Queens, Ep. 1.01-1.02, “Pilot” and “Hell Week”
Given all of the momentum that Scream Queens had coming into the fall season, on the back of a marketing effort that began as far back as April, it’s a shame that in so many areas it falls completely short of its potential. More
