Reply to Showtime Not Proceeding With ‘Three Women’, Cancels ‘Let The Right One In’ & 'American Gigolo’ Amid Consolidation With Paramount+ by MarvelsGrantMan136
Can someone ELI5 the logic behind shelving all these shows/seasons that have already been produced?
The Batgirl and Scoob stuff (obligatory Fuck Zaslov) makes sense (kinda) because there was a tax benefit due to the merger. But now all these other networks are starting to do the same thing.
Why spend Millions of dollars making a season of television and not air it? Like, 95% of the cost has already happened.

Same here, for a moment I thought maybe I didn't hear about the reboot or something.

Station Eleven was devastating and beautiful. Binged it a week before Last of Us. Definitely scratched the itch, made me feel super depressed ..in a good way. Closest other vibe comparison I can think of would be Leftovers

Wtf! They already shot a whole season of Three Women. What a blow to the crew and cast. Honestly disrespectful.

You know you can just ignore shows you don't enjoy right? No need to celebrate dozens if not hundreds of people's hard work being canned due to studio politics

I've heard more about Warrior Nun in one post of this thread than I've heard anywhere else on the internet. And some days I'm pretty sure I've read the entire internet.

They’re all on Netflix. For instance, Wednesday is at its core a teeny drama set in American hogwarts with some murder mystery and all under the auspice of Addams Family IP

Seriously, it's like a cult at this point. The show wasn't even that good after the first episode.

Reply to The Leftovers, season 2, episode 8, is the weirdest hour of television I have EVER watched. That is all. by TimeTraveler3056
I avoided this because Lost was such a let down. I generally don't like mystery boxes and it sounds like 18 hours into it and you still aren't getting any answers. Like lost. Some of the shit will never make sense or be answered I would fear, and that has kept me from watching this show.
SO, how much like lost is this mystery box show?

I didn't like S11 as much as TLoU (so far). I feel like it could have been as good if they hadn't put so much of a focus on >!the post-pandemic appeal of theatre, and the prophet's inane storyline !<It seemed like they were pandering to "I am very smart" critic types over regular people who just want a story to make sense and be relatable without layers of symbolism and references that only people who really like theatre would care about it modern times.
I get that Shakespeare has universal appeal, I just don't think >!everyone would care that much about acting and deconstructing Shakespeare in a post-pandemic resource-scarce society.!<
Which isn't to say there wasn't beauty in that, just that it made it less believable and realistic

I totally agree with this but I also think the short series model is often being used in the wrong places. Some shows will meander on for way too long while other series are too good for, or too rushed with, the new normal of 10 episode seasons. An example: I'm really enjoying How I Met Your Father being a prime target for it. 10 episodes in the first season was great to test the water and make sure the story was viable and the group had chemistry. Now that season 2 is airing, I'd love to have a few longer seasons while still having a target of only 3 or 4 seasons to keep the story tight.

Same! Basically everything Natasha did with that dog in that episode was hilarious. “Fuck you dog!” had me in stitches.

They tried to make her like Bones, but the difference was that when Bones would argue/debate Spock, Spock gave as good as he received.
When Pulaski would argue with Data, Data didn't realize he was being insulted, so it just came across as bullying.
