> They killed off a great character and then looked like they brought her back, but no it was a VERY similar but different character with no lines.

I couldn't finish season two. I tried to but stopped half way. I only stuck for so long because I was hoping a certain someone's death had been faked but nothing came about it. Is that who you are talking about? Because she was my favorite character in the first season and I would have watched a whole show of her going around the world with her trusty sidearm hunting down demons.

Reply to comment by FreyrFreyja in Which shows do you think needs a "warning" before watching? i.e. Bad first season, skip X, Y is bad etc by alienfreaks04

i get their point but there aren't many situations it would apply to with movies. i guess the MCU? in which case you could say that it's different because it's 8 movies about 3-4 different characters and each movie has a complete story while being tangentially connected to 2 other movies and its own sequel.

it's like telling someone to watch 8 episodes of 6 different television series but the 9th episode is great. a bad television season is easier to get through than its movie runtime counterpart

Reply to comment by galaxystars1 in ‘Tuca & Bertie‘ Creator and More Condemn Warner Bros Discovery Merger: It ’Cost Us the Support We Needed to Thrive’ by MarvelsGrantMan136

Like you said, I'm sure there's a lot of valid points about HBO Warner or whatever it's called these days not doing the show any favors. My wife and I honestly didn't even know S3 of Tuca and Bertie started to release episodes weekly until it was like 6 weeks in.

That being said, I think it sidesteps a bigger reason for the show being cancelled, and I'm saying this as someone who loved S1 of Tuca and Bertie and thought S2 was pretty good, but S3 of the show was a huge step down. It felt like they ran out of ideas fast and didn't know what to do with the characters and leaned on making things wackier and wackier to the point where the humor stopped being relatable and just felt weird for weirdness sake. Honestly not sure I'd be all that excited about a S4 even if it wasn't cancelled.

Reply to My (very early) 2023 Emmy predictions by Scdsco

fans of "the boys" need to stop pretending that it belongs alongside top tier actual drama shows. it's a disney+ superhero show but "make it weird and adult." take away the gore and nudity and it's pretty much MCU

Yeah I put this show is more of just having a VERY loud echo-chamber and well targeted "niche" group. The people who like this show heavily fall into they won't shut up about it but the reality is the show was really not all that much watched and from what I have seen had some fairly high immediate drop offs.

It is pretty much a show that corners of twitter and some forms will just be quite dedicated to and miss how truly small it is in the bigger picture.

Reply to ‘Acapulco’ Renewed For Season 3 At Apple by Murky-Insect-7556

There was even a date set for filming the new season. Apple sometimes does not announce some renewals.

Tehran has not been officially renewed, but they are already filming S3 in Athens. The Big Door Prize hasn't even premiered, but they've already started filming S2. Foundation's S3 is already in production and they start filming in April (S2 only opens in the summer).

People find out through tweets, photos or production listings.
