Reply to comment by AlexTorres96 in Showtime Not Proceeding With ‘Three Women’, Cancels ‘Let The Right One In’ & 'American Gigolo’ Amid Consolidation With Paramount+ by MarvelsGrantMan136
Homeland was good for a few seasons, then it just started going in circles.
Californication was a good show with some fun moments, that was completely ruined by it’s ending after 2 very poor seasons.
Boardwalk Empire was a truly amazing show for 2-3 seasons, then a steep drop in quality.
Weeds was an alright…
I didn’t start this comment thinking there was a pattern, but holy shit. Does this hold true for every Showtime title? Do they just not know when to end shit?
Dexter was a great show for the start of it’s run, only to be ruined by a truly aweful ending after 2 very poor seasons.

Just like Knives Out. Such a nice journey to watch.

Sure but it involved the post apocalyptic setting and embraced it instead of just being set dressing like in Station Eleven.

That's because the show is about the box, not what's inside it.
(I can't tell if this is profound or totally vacuous, sorry.)

Reply to Actors who were fired from the 1st or 2nd season of a hit show, even though they were good in it. by Lili_Danube
Burke Devlin in "Dark Shadows". Mitch Ryan's drinking addiction got him fired but he was perfect as Burke. The guy they recasted as Burke just didn't have much of a personality.
Not a popular opinion, but I don't like killing/putting a character off screen just because the actor/actress screwed up something off show. Recasting gives another actor/actress a shot at depicting a character their way. Of course my example above didn't pay off. I think it worked on "Bewitched" though.

I think Station Eleven is better than The Last of Us tbh

Nora's story is purposefully ambiguous but that doesn't mean we're supposed to ignore the mystery. The mystery is the point.

I bet Natasha Lyonne could do a great impression of Peter Falk, too. She's so perfect for this role.

Lmao the level of delusion. This is Reddit it constantly gets bombarded with anything and everything so it really shouldn’t be a real indication on the quality of something. With that said Station Eleven is easily one of the best shows ever and in my top 10

Not sure about "fresh" as it's very similar to Columbo, a series from the 70's and 80's.
It has a similar formula, where we see the murder first. Then Columbo arrives on the scene and figures out not only the murder but the motive behind it.
Peter Falk was such a delight in it, too. No super powers, he just acted folksy and scatterbrained in order for people to underestimate him (which they always did). It was a LOT of fun.

The stuff Kevin goes through is absolutely real. There’s characters and things we see in it that just don’t make sense why they’d be there if he was somehow dreaming.

He’s still performing and selling out shows unfortunately, so take that cancellation with a grain of salt

Yes but that doesn’t mean it didn’t want people to speculate or have a general interest just that it shouldn’t ruin your enjoyment for not getting a definitive answer. You can still “ask” and “wonder” and people on the show have even talked about what they believed actually happened. Again the whole “let the mystery be” is about being ok without an answer not having an opinion or a take on it.

Reply to comment by OniExpress in Why is ‘Warrior Nun’ the most-talked about TV show on the internet? by Justdip1
I watched 3 episodes trying to figure out why people love it so much and then I remembered I'm not 15 and am allowed to have my own opinions. I remain confused as to why folks like it.
