This show survives but they killed TerraNova which was a WAY better version of the same concept. RIP CopDad in Dino Land.

Idk, ask the 25% of people who rated the last episode a 1 on IMDb.

We've been asking for a third season of Green Lantern TAS for years, and instead we get a live action buddy cop/true crimes hybrid?
"Beware my power" on a TV budget doesn't exactly wow me here, Jimmy.

“Every inconvenience in my life is because of boomers somehow”

This is certainly yet another sign of the end of the golden age of television. We're drifting back to a world where everything is consolidated into a handful of corporate entities (not too unlike the big 3 networks), and where drone-like execs make all the decisions and override anything not mainstream enough.

>For those of you that look at IMDb ratings,

Here is the first problem: People really shouldn't be looking at these ratings. People just do it out of habit or reflex, and never really stop to think what these ratings represent, or if they're even remotely reflective of the people who are watching the show.

So even before you get to the part where viewer-submitted ratings are suspect from jump precisely because of how they've become the first stop for the lazy malcontent who wants to feel like a culture war activist without even having the courage of their own convictions (which they likely just stole from the comments section of a YouTube grifter's rage channel anyway)....

User-submitted ratings are only ever representative of what a extremely tiny self-selecting minority of the general audience presumably thinks. So even if every single one of those ratings being collected for their average actually was created in good faith (and as you and I both know, they routinely are not, it is part of the online grift cycle now, permanently) you're still looking at a rating that almost solely represents the views of 18-49 year old men who would even bother leaving a rating after watching something in the first place.

For whatever reason, people just accept this collection of ratings as a useful representation despite the fact it's anything but, and never has been. It's wild how people will thoughlessly accept that these numbers are trustworthy for no other reason than they're on imdb, despite knowing without a doubt that the only people actually contributing to these numbers are an extremely limited volunteer sampling of an extremely narrow-focused demo, many of whom are only there because they mistakenly believe the registering of their bad opinion counts as political activism in any way.

TL:DR - review bombing isn't a problem if everyone stops acting like those numbers have inherent worth in the first place, because they don't.

Only in regards to the greater discussion of "Netflix doesn't cancel successful shows." Being part of the discussion isn't the same thing as being the discussion.

Pretty much. They are expecting a writers strike around the summer which will hurt broadcast far more than streaming. At least in the short term. They are just renewing stuff that would have got cancelled like La Brea as they can get the scrips wrote now before the strike happens.

This. There was a period where NBC had Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace and ER. Or you could swap out Scrubs for Frasier. Or go back to when they had Mad About You, Friends, Seinfeld and ER.

... it's not? Because of this post it's going to be talked about for a day and then go back to the hole it died it.

Please go research the Tiffany Haddish and her brother issues. I also don’t believe it was only “her brother” at fault; the mother of those two minors trusted Tiffany who forced them into the predatory scenario.

That was the canary in the coal mine for sure.

These types of posts are getting annoying.

They have the exact streaming numbers right down to when and where you watched those Showtime favourites. That is the data advantage of streaming.

Yeah Cosby was a rapist

>In fact, the episode is actually so self-contained that you could treat it like a 74 minute movie if you aren’t interested in watching a fungal zombie apocalypse show and it would absolutely be worth it.

This is personally why it didn't do much for me, albeit it was obviously not anywhere near a 1/10.

It is dead. They are going to axe all the programming executives and stop making future Showtime shows. No need for a Showtime tab if it is not going to be generating new content beyond current seasons of Yellowjackets and Billions.

Oooh, this is the one based on the Blake Crouch novel. I’d take the $200 and happily make my friends watch it to see my patio 😂. Pretty cool.

I feel like I'm seeing double. A thread basically about this was posted yesterday.

Am I reading the article correctly that it was only renewed just to have something to air?

Sorry everyone didn't enjoy the episode as much as you did.

This must be keeping you up at night.

Sunday nights on HBO will outlive me, Thursday NBC is already toast

That doesn't change much if the effects or post production is done elsewhere. Live shooting is a tiny part of production especially for modern shows.

Finally a tv show with a gay couple
