To be fair, IMO this is one of their better original series in some time—or at least of the shows geared toward a wide audience.

I had finally crossed off the last thing on my list of Netflix exclusives (the Luther movie) that I needed to watch before I would cancel my 10+ year subscription. Then I stumbled onto the RT review of Night Agent and decided to give it a shot. Loved it.

I still think all of the bad things about Netflix that I did before watching it—the things that the "Netflix is dying" crowd tend to parrot. But if I could get even just one property a month that I thought was as well-made as Night Agent, I would probably stick around.

iirc Beware's case was a result of CN just scrapping their DC Nation block entirely, and AS airing them because they were already finished. The Teen Titans GO! shorts, as well the full series created subsequently, were the only real hit they had with that DC effort. Young Justice and GL: TAS were both infamously axed due to low merch demand.

So it might just be a case of shows skewing older like you said. CN has done this before back in 2004 when Toonami moved to Saturday nights, as demos were skewing a little older and concerns about violence were giving some folks at CN cold feet.

Just provide the ship with adequate overhead lighting or something, whatever it is.

Lead’s name is Peter Sutherland… Coincidence?

>with perfect pacing

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I think it was one of the best-paced shows I've watched in a long time. Never felt like there was pointless filler added in, never lulled too long, and they never did that thing where they introduce some potential side tangent and then don't revisit it for another 8 episodes. Just a consistently-moving, easy-to-watch series.

Man, I love Detroiters and Champaign Ill. And, his co-stars in both are also amazing.

Which is what makes it such an accurate show — there are gay people who say awful things.

Yeah, cuz it has nothing else going for it.

It's okay, everyone's time comes.

lots of people have said the same thing about the office

Respectfully, you have misunderstood both the comment you replied to and my clarification. They didn't say Aniston/Gen X are complaining about offensive content, but about their own older content being considered offensive by younger audiences.

I first really caught on to him with Werewolves Within, but then went back and watched stuff like Detroiters and Champaign ILL and anything I could find.

I still haven't watched much of Veep, though. I don't know why, but I have a hard time getting into it.

F whoever that gets offended

It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. Older shows with mild homophobia and sexism have no need to excuse themselves.

Watched 4 episodes so far. Not bad. Reminds me of a weaker version of The Bodyguard. Main actor even looks like a beta version of Richard Madden haha. I think I see a big twist coming but time will tell. Basically 24 but more...junk foodie if that makes sense?

He was good in Veep, but it was Detroiters that really showed off his talent.

Oh, but she's an outlier, she is a Hollywood product after all. Most of them are wackos. Thanks for clarification though.

She's always complaining about something but I do think a lot of people in the industry agree with her. In fact I would say she's probably a mouthpiece for people in Hollywood who low-key don't like the way the film and some aspects of the TV industry have changed. Didn't Steve Carrell say the same thing about The Office?

Exactly!

They're talking about Aniston.

As much as I've enjoyed The Critic, it always annoyed me that the writers could never seem to settle on who the character of Jay was supposed to be.

He was either a smart film critic with integrity trapped in a world too ignorant to appreciate him, or he was a pretentious blowhard who didn't actually know what he was talking about. Which they decided to go with changed from episode to episode dependent solely upon whatever the plot called for him to be.

Nothing says hard hitting, independent thinker like “kids these days!”

Nice! This show was great. The ensemble cast is a huge reason why s01 was so fun, and I'm hoping they find it again for s02.

This show really spoke to me, as a person who seems to attract pigeons with the sound of their vo-ARGHDH

Not really, I've always thought for myself. I never followed common thinking. Just my own views.
