Yep agreed marketing is a perfectly fair place to criticize some of these people just say they cancel everything and it’s not true a lot of these shows they do cancel might be successful with better marketing I will admit though

Black Mirror needs this. If you are easily offended just skip s1 ep1. The rest of the show isn’t nearly as shocking. I found it hilarious but it’s hard to recommend this show to people unless you really know their sense of humor.

If everyone sold their stock in Fox today it would greatly hurt the Murdoch family. They’d still have billions after selling a large position of the company, however.

Buying that stock is investing in the company and the Murdoch family. It justifies their advertising revenue and new developments and keeping the Murdochs in power. I’ve worked for the company before and I’ll never do it again. Maybe I’d work for the branch that Disney owns, but even that’s a stretch.

Rupert Murdoch is a sociopath and easily one of the worst influences on America still living today.

The cool part is the writers basically have said she both is lying and is not lying and both are true. It’s just up to the audience to decide… although they have definite opinions internally.

They actually did want to shoot an episode on the other side with Nora but it was cut because they went from 10 eps to 8 in S3. The other episode would have been back in Jarden with Kevin’s kids. But they made it clear they did not shoot these and they are not shown to us… we got the story as is. So did she lie?

The Venture Brothers: Season 1 is like a prologue. Worse animation and just not on par with the rest of the series. Which is important when the series is pretty zany. Mediocre zany is a hard-sell. Well worth it for one if the best shows ever made. Start at Season 2, and wrap around to season one when you are done.

Seinfeld. Skip the short season 1. Know that season 2 is a little rocky with some hidden gems.

Agents of Shield: It gets incredible. Season One is the low point. The novelty of hitting a big reveal timed with the Thor movie release has no payoff years later and just makes for a slow first season. Season One is the weakest; Season 2 is good, but second weakest. Some seasons are incredible.

yes, but the depressing outlook is contagious.

Surely by the last season there will be no background characters if everyone follows their lead?

>Netflix fucking sucks at marketing movies and shows

It's like when they released Archive 81 in January when it would have been a perfect Halloween show. I remember it was just there one day when I logged in. I never saw anything promoting it.

They have the ability to make a lot of their content more successful but they don't care. If something doesn't become a hit on its own, they just start over and try something new. Rinse and repeat.

"Even Bill Maher is against the Libs..." is something you regularly see from Twitter folks with the American flag emoji, despite no one thinking Bill Maher is liberal for at least a decade.

Maher's humor devolved into the stereotype of a Libertarian - A Republican who smokes pot.

Notice that while Bill embraces the new love from his right wing friends, he absolutely does not bring up his hatred of religion as much as he used to

When it was acceptable to be openly hostile to Muslims after 9/11, Bill frequently mentioned his Atheism, he loved to attack Islam back then. He would occasionally attack Christianity, but it was typically railing against the Catholic Church

Since he's also devolved into a hack Contrarian, the new Bill Maher will no longer have panels to discuss atheism, he'd lose the diehard MAGA, anti vax types who now make up his fanbase.

Dexter — stop watching before you get to season X. Where X varies depending on who you ask.

Westworld — watch season 1 then stop.

Handmaids Tale — watch season 1 then stop.

The interaction between Matt Jameson and the Guy claiming to be God was amazing in that episode. (I think thats when that happened)

Is it based in Houston? As a Houstonian I’d love a show featured here

Have you ever watched TV before?

Same troll appearing in multiple threads and y'all keep feeding him, smh.

I mean the intro music for the last two seasons was "Let the Mystery Be" they clearly wanted to tell the audience they were not going to get all the answers to the mystery of the sudden departure. The show (along with other Lindelof shows like Lost) was more about the characters and as to whether or not they got their stories resolved.

Expanse — the first two or three episodes are strangely dull. Stick with it as it picks up after that.

Totally. I haven't watched Maher since the pandemic completely broke him and any redeeming qualities the show had left but I'm kinda curious how it's evolved since those early pandemic episodes and how far off the deep end he's fallen.

Both just need to be more compact. Short monologue, couple jokes to start us off and get to the guest. Same with new rules. Just close out with it for a few minutes is all. They are fine as intro/outro but go on too long

Station Eleven exceeded its potential and was even better than the book. The way it ties most of the characters together is a massive improvement and incredibly well done.

Well her story was basically over after Season 1, so it's not a huge loss

Not sure, I saw it on YouTube and can't remember the source

wait until you get to 3-7

Sure I'm not trying to act like it's a unique thing. Maher just has years of television showing it happen
