Reply to Poker Face is so fun! by TheHadalZone

Really digging it so far! Natasha Lyonne is fabulous. Great guest stars, well written and directed, doesn’t take itself too seriously. A total joy. It’s really nice to pair with The Last of Us, since that show is so heavy, it’s nice to have a lighter show as well.

Also if one of this shows goals is to make people interested in other shows like it, for example Columbo, then it’s been very successful. I’ve been really wanting to start Columbo over the past few days.

Reply to Poker Face is so fun! by TheHadalZone

I watched the first episode and really liked it. I’m someone who really only watches Columbo and Murder She Wrote and Matlock so I was nervous but I heard someone say that those shows influenced Poker Face so I gave it a shot. My only gripe with it is that I wished they played down her lie detecting ability a little bit. Of course now that I say that it was interesting watching the killer try to deal with her when he knows that he can’t tell a lie…

Reply to comment by huskersax in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

The original Avatar was a much bigger show than the LoK no? I liked Korra, but it was very much a follow up to ATLA iirc. But yes. ATLA was well received by adults, partly because it does deal with quite a lot of mature concepts at times (while also being quite silly as well to appeal to kids)

Reply to comment by DonnieDelaware in Actors who were fired from the 1st or 2nd season of a hit show, even though they were good in it. by Lili_Danube

I was reading an interview with Samuel L. Jackson once and he said that he says "Yes" to pretty much everything. I've seen his name on some direct-to-video stinkers over the years and was wondering why he, of all people, would sign on to shit like that? He said a similar thing in the interview, that before he finally made it big, there were many days where the phone didn't ring and he never forgot it, and doesn't take for granted that it won't happen again.

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

While there are some valid points in the article and I agree with the overall message, Tuca and Bertie got 3 seasons, which is more than many other shows get, if they see the light of day at all. Idk why you’d squander the good will you might’ve had from that by trashing a service. Good luck getting hired for future projects there or even other services. Who wants to be associated with a negative Nancy that brings you bad press?
