Okay, I finally saw the whole thing. It's definitely entertaining enough to keep watching. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so comedic-- the social satire and slapstick are both over the top-- but that's fine with me.
Many of the characters lack presence so far, but several stand out. Dean Munsch, of course, is fantastic, thanks to Jamie Lee Curtis. It's amusing to see an old-school Feminist clash with whiny Millennials. And I love her name-- a nice reference to the title by way of the painting. Her nemesis, Chanel, has, as yet, no depth whatsoever and is a complete caricature, but is hilarious. I also get a kick out of the death-obsessed scoliosis girl, and I hope she survives the show. And the angry Lesbian who talks like a Tumblr post cracked me up-- I expected her to end her rant with "Reblog forever!"
The apparent heroine and her sidekick, Grace and the newspaper kid, need a little work; although Grace's motivation for joining the sorority-- to be a part of something her mother was a part of, and to save it from Chanel-- shows promise.
Grace's hapless father, who is constantly bewildered by all the sexual advances, is also amusing. But the best part was the scene between the hunk and is Gay friend (with the stuffed frog-- which remarkably resembles one of my own stuffed frogs). That was actually a pretty touching scene-- no pun intended-- and is the kind of humanizing element that the show will need to make it more than just an extended skit.
I'm not even going to theorize about who the killer is, since the plot is all misdirection by design-- the best you can hope for is a lucky guess.
