I am personally happy Tuca & Bertie is gone. No amount of marketing would make the show interesting or funny. If you never seen the show just watch the Netflix trailer and see if it’s funny to you. Tuca & Bertie is for a nitch fan base from a bigger fan base that likes Bo jack horseman.

It seems like there were all of a sudden like three+ shows/movies about present day black women being teleported back in time to the slave days.

On one hand I'm disappointed, but it's better for a novel adaptation to go out strong than to be dragged out into nothingness like The Handmaid's Tale or The Man in the High Castle.

Reply to Which shows do you think needs a "warning" before watching? i.e. Bad first season, skip X, Y is bad etc by alienfreaks04
The Leftovers. Episode 1 was weird as hell and I put it down. Got back to it and the rest is even more weird as hell but each episode seems to grows on you exponentially.

I feel bad for the lead. They did everything they could to make her look bad with clumsy moments and everything else... A really tough show to watch, honestly, rough and dark.

Great talent elevates things to a new level. It’s a simple show, but the entire ensemble turned it into something special.

I think it’s also safe to say that no show will ever get a Simpsons run.

As the other poster said it will depend on what you liked about Downton. I would probably classify bridgerton more as light hearted rom com historical "fantasy / alt reality" while downton is squarely period drama. There are down moments in bridgerton but it never hits downton levels and is more aimed at the romance happily ever after type stuff.
After that I would say S1 and S2 if Bridgeton are different types of romance because of the characters they are focused on. Personally I prefer S2 the characters fit better together and it is more a rom com hate to love and them actually building a relationship. While S1 is clueless inexperienced virgin learning about sex. I haven't read the books but from friends who have it makes sense in that the season 2 characters are basically heads of the house and constant while the other characters slowly vanish as they get married off.
Either way not going to say it is the best tv by any means. But it is something a bit lighter, short and easily binge able when you need a break from the constant the world is on fire mess.

Wait, it was an ongoing series? Never read the book or watched the show, but a quick search on Wikipedia has it listed as a miniseries. Plus the book itself isn't terribly long either, so having it be an ongoing series would likely become repetitive at best unless it was an anthology or something.

She’s so beautiful and youthful for 60 years old. She’s like Julianne Moore. I wish they weren’t scammed into getting these treatments. They really don’t have the need for it.

WBD, AMC, NBCUniversal, Paramount and Netflix have all cancelled completed seasons as tax right-offs in the last 3 months.

Which is stupid since cameos provide a lot of free time for actors. This seems like burned bridges, similar to Rege Jean page

That “John Adams” series on HBO from 2008 (Jesus, that’s 15 years ago…) is very good. You really can’t go wrong with searching through HBO’s catalog to find a ton of good limited series: “Generation Kill” (2008), “Mare of Easttown“ (2021), and I consider anthology to mostly count, so I’d throw “True Detective” in there, especially the 1st season (2014)

If you liked gossip girl, you’d like this, because this show is Victorian era gossip girl.
