BB and Sopranos are god tier TV shows that ended well, had fantastic writing and didn't overstay their welcome. I can count on one hand how many shows actually fit that description. Thats the difference.

Both Dexter and Lost ended badly, had shitty writing and didn't end well.

Is "Wokeism" responsible for Tories threatening the BBC over a presenter's tweets about their policies? Did it lead to the crashes on Top Gear? To the consideration to stop funding the choir? Is it through wokeism that the new chairman of the BBC was appointed, or was it because he's a banker with connections to the Conservative party and Boris Johnson, personally?

Did you even read the article?

This video put into words how I feel about modern sitcoms, they try too hard and depend on formulas without letting things develop naturally.

Believe it or not, Dark Angel on Fox. I had a monster crush on Jessica Alba so that cancelation hit me like a ton of bricks.

You think Barney Stinson feels like a real person and not a joke vehicle?

It’s poor but NOWHERE near as bad.

I hate to agree with you, but I do. :(

Do NOT call me old (I am 45). Like. Come on. I have the same feeling as the TO.

true. i generally don't watch this kind of stuff anyway. honestly, i haven't even watched a good sitcom or comedy show in forever. that genre just isn't made for me.

this seems like a comedy/drama aimed at older people (i mean people in their 40s or so), which is why it is paced as such. tbh i am only watching for bob odenkirk.

Is that really why it failed? I remember liking it was was bummed it was dropped so soon. The first few episodes where rough, but I fel like it picked up.

yeah, that infinite money can be really appealing, even if you have to be a hypocrite to get it.

Plus breaking bad a spinoff that only just finished and a movie. And sopranos had a movie too. It's not like any of them have been stagnant.

Schmigadoon.

The only certainty I have regarding the media market is that Hollywood is going to bed with Apple more and more. Apple gives them what they want: "freedom", stability and, most importantly, infinite money.

The consensus seems to be this is one of the worst shows in recent years. Apparently not a lot of people enjoy being talk down to by bunch of private jets celebrities.

By episode 3 Kendall will have self destructed, Roman will be emotionally manipulated and flipped by his dad, Shiv will try some big power play thinking she's the shit but it will blow up in her face.

that can't be, Apple uses child labor and doesn't repatriate their overseas earnings. 'Hollywood' wouldn't get in bed with such loathsome characters.

I actually read it as Servant and got excited that they’re making a spin-off. Now I’m disappointed.

Idk man, Ken Marino is a heavy hitter in the critical-darling cult-classic sitcom space ;-)

Yeah I thought it was such a clever reinvention of the show. You read the wiki page and it’s pretty decent reviews across the board then I got to the part that reminded me it got Karen’d out of existence:(

“The group One Million Moms, an offshoot of the American Family Association, began protesting The Muppets, citing it as "unsuitable for family viewing", and calling for boycotts against it immediately after ABC picked it up, long before the series debuted.[63][64][65] The Muppets later parodied One Million Moms' critique in their twelfth episode, "A Tail of Two Piggies", as the One Million Angry Parents Association represented by three protesters.[66][third-party source needed]

The Parents Television Council also criticized the series for not meeting "family viewing" guidelines and suggested a boycott, based on the mockumentary format of the series including mentions of plastic surgery, "inside" business language being used in a crude manner, and the Muppets in a bar consuming alcoholic beverages.[67]

They should rename the service Apple S+

I am really enjoying it, but I knew what I wanted from it and I feel like so far I’m getting it.

Wait till he threatens a goose.

This was the case when I worked the cable company 6-8 years ago. Our customers didn't care about HBO (I have literally never met anyone in Alabama who watched GoT other than me) and liked Showtime occasionally, but Starz was very, very popular because of Power. We got tons and tons of Starz merch. I've still got a bunch of that crap in my car.
