Has anyone here gotten into this show? I watched the whole first season (and really hope there's no season 2) and thought it was hilarious and ridiculous and the perfect logical next step for slashers after the Scream movies (I still have not seen Scream 4 or the MTV series but hopefully you get what I mean). It's definitely not scary at all and the gore is more silly than shocking but view it as a comedy rather than a horror show and all that is forgiven. The finale was probably the weakest link of the bunch but every other episode had me laughing out loud. Apparently it was made by the creators of Glee, which surprised me because I couldn't get through more than an episode or two of that show. This is no Glee.
Dean Munsch(Jamie Lee Curtis), Chad Radwell, Denise Hemfield(Neicy Nash from Reno 911, and also probably the best character on this show), and Chanel Oberlin -plus her sorority gang, all of whom go by Chanel plus a number rather than their actual names- were all great. I kinda hated the main character Grace because she played the "straight man" of the group and came across super inconsistent and boring. Anyway, great parody of slashers with a lot of legitimate actresses from slasher films and horror in general, plus some high profile celebrities eager to do some self-parody. The cops were utterly useless and the depiction of sorority and fraternity behavior was pretty much how it always seemed to me from the outside (I'm still glad I was never interested in so-called "Greek life" but not necessarily because of the show).
I'm curious what you all may have thought. Since the show just ended, let's try to keep it spoiler-free or use spoiler tags in case anyone wants to see it but hasn't yet... Apparently it did not get very good ratings.
