Scream Queens

I've only seen the first season and I have to say the show doesn't really work as a competition. Most of the competitors come across as models who want to try something else. It would work on those terms if that was every contestant on the show but there are some who have prior experience looking for a plum job in Saw. The show kinda makes me lose faith in the industry when the best actress is obvious from the first episode, is never challeged and is sent away because they know she's a solid working actress they just don't think she's a scream queen. That this is stated by Shawnee Smith is insult to injury. Scream Queens aren't a pinnacle of acting excellence, it's a niche genre staple, a stepping stone, and possibly a well to return to if you have a long career like Jamie Lee Curtis. Smith is a run of the mill talent who has good representation and a little luck. I only watched the show for the James Gunn episodes. All else was filler.
