Another show pulling heavily from Lost

I watched it at 1.5x the speed and very happily scrolled on my phone to get through the boring scenes.

I was initially very interested in Shadow and Bone, I thought it was a really interesting world that they were building. And then I quickly lost interest when the focus turned to a lame love triangle that I didn't give a single shit about.

Do they get freedom on Language/content or is it like any CBS/FOX/NBC show where they have to be TV14?

I hear about the show but I wasn’t sure if they have HBO/Showtime freedom.

How is it that they built the series yet Peacock is benefiting off it? These streaming rights wars is so weird.

It got tore apart in reviews:

> The first season of the show received mostly mixed reviews from critics. This may have been due to most outlets only reviewing the first few episodes of the season, unaware that the show developed a darker and deeper tone about midway through the first season. The improvement was so significant that it forced Indiewire to change its grading policy to watch a show's entire season upon availability instead of just the first half dozen or so episodes, which would have boosted their original rating of BoJack's first season.

I think that the tv audience has become smarter and dumb sitcoms aren’t as pleasing anymore. Also, if sitcoms like King of Queens had to compete in a time like today, they’d really be struggling.

Not a lie if you believe it yourself..

Okay so, I watched season one just after it all aired… I have been waiting for a season 2 announcement this entire time XD

Their marketing was apparently abysmal.

Not necessarily, if the completion rate is high then it’ll be renewed.

I stopped watching the series after this. I Spit on Your Grave made me squirm less than that.

Decent plot, pretty poor acting

Not surprised. Season 1 was genius but again they took to long to get to the punch. Should have finished in 3 seasons.

Same! I like that they released a show that has a similar tone even though it’s not as good.

Yeah now that I think of it, that's a good one for bad liar. Marty showed he's a terrible judge of character and he's so monotone that his truth and lying just all feel like he's detached and you feel he's lying no matter what, or just saying what you want to hear. You don't feel like he's telling you the truth no matter what he says, and that makes him a bad liar.

I completely agree with Wendy Byrde. In my post, I actually chose Marty Byrde as a bad liar! Marty has way too many tells, he’s easy to read. He tends to speak quickly and stutter when he's lying. In the first season, Del actually tells Marty that he knows when he is lying.

You're probably better off, the show has been bad since like season 5 and last season was actually just terrible television.

Kirk from Newhart was defined by his lying. The character was written out after two seasons and is generally reviled now, but his two seasons were the only two seasons the show was nominated for the best comedy Emmy.

Kirk Devane. Nobody comes close. Bob Newhart nixed the character because the writers were spinning the craziest yarns around his pathological lies, and it was taking away from Bob's ego.

Yeah and if anyone likes this show and is looking for another great show that’s the same style, checkout Bodyguard from BBC with Richard Madden. Hopefully Series 2 is coming soon.
