Reply to comment by MuteasaButton in Is Seinfeld kind of a flop for Netflix? by BitterEditor22
Netflix's algorithms clearly aren't perfect based on the way the handle their originals, but once in a while I think you can tell when they really believe in a show and want to make it work. Wednesday actually had buzz going in and they actually seemed to market it a bit, at least compared to other shows and movies that just drop without a notice on there. The Hollywood marketing machine has really ensured Jenny Ortega became a thing too. I think when something like this happens Netflix knows a show will be a hit.

Bryan Cranston sound hilarious in that. Is it from No Half Measures or the regular featurettes on the individual discs?

But it was true, from a certain point of view. The man who was his friend and brother is gone and he doesn't believe he can ever return.

I found the behind-the-scenes documentary The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys interesting. It looks at the making of Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. The Battle of Brazil: A Video History is about another Gilliam film, Brazil, his struggles to release it in the US (the studio wanted a happy ending among other things).

I don't think I'm superior at all. You're projecting.

> If you're looking for answers you're watching the wrong show. The Leftovers never intended to give answers, it's about characters having to live with the inexplicable and thrives in that.

Pretty famous fun fact, but I do love that the Clone Wars does gymnastics around Anakin meeting Grievous all for the sake of one line in Revenge of the Sith

You realize no one truly gives a shit if you like Rick and Morty or not? But you've been condescending this entire time. Maybe that's what they're calling you out for? Your vernacular tells us you think you're superior. Hate Rick and Morty all you want but you can drop the pretentious and stop pretending this is what it's about.

It is a better execution of the same (or similar) concepts Lindelof was aiming for with Lost. The problem with Lost, in that respect, is that it leaned too heavily into the mystery, where Leftovers kept things a bit more focused.

At the time middle-aged women loved gay men. It was the days of the "gay best friend" trope.

Yeah theres a scene early in Claremont x men where Storm is shocked to find out the claws were in Logan's hands and that was the first time it was made explicit that the claws are in his body.

Yep. Im a huge huge fans of that show. Watched it everyday for years. Probably eatched it over 20 times since theres so few episodes. And the wrong order really messes everything up. I do understand the why. Those few episodes are a bummer and the episode Bo Fight is easily one of the worst of the series.

Season 2 is overrated. Lindelof crawled up his own ass a bit, fortunately he crawled down before season 3 and it turned out excellent.

>Season one had so much promise and they scrapped practically everything they were building just to make a jaunt through the funhouse. This show was a spectacular disappointment.
See I'd say that season one had a great foundation but was entirely too grim to be a multi-season success. The path the show takes in the next two seasons is what makes it incredible.
