Scream the series is guilty pleasure trash for people who don't like the horror genre
Let's get this out there first and foremost. Scream:The Series is a slave to a scenario that require very talented writers to navigate a ten episode run of twists and turns that can keep you scared, jumping, questioning who-done-it and ultimately caring about it all while tying it together in a cohesive package.

Talented writers are not what we have here. It is apparent as soon as you tune into episode 2 that any thought put into the pilot to get the network green light was immediately abandoned for a "let's just get this filmed" mentality. The two most prominent examples of laziness? The repeated near supernatural abilities of our killer to appear and vanish only for the sake of scare (example; slicing a victims throat in an open field while her boyfriend stands, IN FRAME only an arms length away, only to vanish as the boyfriend turns while never being seen).
The second is the lengths of time it takes for "secrets to be revealed" when an obvious five minute conversation between Emma and her mother when the daisy box first arrived could have saved everyone. Is this a horror movie troupe Scream cleverly exploits , or just a unavoidable use of loophole writing because series developer Jill Blotevogel can't figure out any other way to get this ball rolling? The layers of lies and secrets were intended to build drama, but it's done with such an immature sense of sincerity that it's insulting that anyone out of middle school could be compelled by it.
The adolescent actors/actresses are also a distressing mix of typecast pretty faces. The only standout is John Karna, doing the required Jamie Kennedy homáge with a natural Topher Grace charm. The remaining female cast reach no deeper into their thespian toolbox than using lip biting, hair flips and eye rolls throughout every interaction, while the two jocks (who get a majority screen time) offer only the various degrees of "Bro!" shout- outs necessary to convey emotion. Seeing Bex Taylor-Klaus in a recurring series role was also disheartening, as she seems to be revealing her limitations and a series renewal doesn't bode well for us to see her expand that range.

The production values, while uniform throughout the ten episodes, feel absurdly overwrought. It has the out-of-touch gloss that creates a world that feels fake, as if imagined by a preteen as to what teenage years should be like. You get the impression producers insisted on this because they wanted a world that spoke their youthful audience, despite not working for the needs of the narrative.
The main characters (with the exception of our token ratty old truck driving farm boy, who is in fact only portrayed this way in the most vapid possible sense) live in relative high fashion. The town has no lack of abandoned real estate for dubious meetings, including the closed down hospital. And the background music, while not a distraction, will no doubt date this show. It's littered so throughout that I could wonder in this is a seven hour commercial for the dozens of forgettable melancholy songs dropped into every post s/he lied-cried- someone died scenes of which there are just way to many.
The most difficult part in all this is that there is so much that could have been mined from the source material, but the producers seemed content on making only overtures to the movie, going so far as create a new mask for narrative reasons. Wasted are the talents of Wes Craven beyond directing the Pilot and the guidance of Kevin Williamson.
Williamson is no stranger to the kind of trash this show devolves into, just look at the later half of The Following's first season, but he managed to hold that together as a compelling serial for the first 7 episodes. If he could have brought even a glimmer of The Following's initial magic, Scream: The Series might have had a chance.

The original movie trilogy was carefully constructed to be the campy but ultimately self-aware scary movies that turned the genre on its head. This show feels like mockery of those movies, and that the series was renewed for a second season shows how little MTV actually cares about the series, horror genre or its own audience.
