For the sake of completeness, 'House of Cards' Spinoffs in the Works at Netflix . There's a bit of discussion about this in the main HoC thread.
Weiner's follow up to Mad Men continues to stack the cast:
'The Romanoffs': Diane Lane Cast In Matthew Weiner's Amazon Anthology Series
'The Romanoffs': Diane Lane Cast In Matthew Weiner's Amazon Anthology Series
As stated, it's so vague that it could be just about anything. We'll have to wait and see what Weiner actually does with it.
I don't know, the term "anthology series" already rubs me the wrong way. Too many of those and they're seldom good for more than a season or two. And the whole "we follow different people around the world" just makes me think of sense8.
It's irrational bias on my part, but still :D

Yesterday I was thinking about TBS and their shift. What happened that they've started getting successful new shows that seem like they'll stick around. I remember that show Ground Floor and Sullivan and Son dying pretty fast. Did some leadership change at the top and they are accepting better show pitches?
Kevin Reilly (previously at Fox) took over around the beginning of 2015.
Cool, so it was some change towards the top. Good for him. TBS seems to be doing some good stuff since then
Beautiful.
I just wish Being Human got the same favor.
Wow, I was being cynical and thought they were using this as an opportunity to virtue signal for a series that was already on the chopping block, but I guess they really were completely unprepared for this.
Glad The Gifted is doing alright, just started it the other day and loved it.
I wonder if it would be better to pair it up with Gotham though.
Honestly its gotten so contrived and annoying im near dropping it myself.
Oh for fuck's sake. I really liked Season 1, and I couldn't even get halfway through 2 because it was so fucking awful. Just let it die.
I don't know how many people are dropping the show altogether vs delaying their viewing for weeks/months, but The Walking Dead is certainly losing its "must watch" status. I think enthusiasm is waning because people are realizing that it's an open ended narrative - one designed to go on and on and on and on and on for years on end. It's an interesting case because it's basically a (season long) procedural in prestige drama clothing, more NCIS/CSI than Breaking Bad/The Americans. Which isn't inherently a bad thing, it's just that people expect a "serious drama" like this to have a closed ended narrative. After 8 years they expect to see build up to a definite conclusion and they know they're not getting that anytime soon.
It was like S2 was specifically attacking any enjoyment you could possibly have gotten from S1.
It was so bad in such a specific way that it not only felt like an "FU" to the audience but that it was sabotage or something.
Yeah. Particularly since they
killed off basically everyone left from the first season who was cool.
Yup and that wasn't even remotely subtle,
like they had the list and just crossed people out(not well either)episode to episode
It would be interesting to compare the L3, L7, L30 numbers for the different seasons and check if the cumulative viewership is also declining or if it's just the live viewers.
This doesn't mean they're moving out of original drama, right? The article mostly seems to talk about things that sound like Discovery Channel reality shows. It'd be weird to see BBC America stop prioritizing original content.
Yeah and I'd love to have, at the very least, season to season percentage increase/decrease data for the show on Netflix.
People in general realizing The Walking Dead is actually not that good overall makes me slightly more optimistic in humanity.
At this point The Walking Dead could run as long as a genuine soap opera with they way the cast can just be slowly replaced like a ship of Theseus.
I feel like at the end of the Walking Dead, literally everyone from Season 1 and 2 will be gone except for Corl. Corl will never leave.
Realistically though, the second Daryl bites the dust, the show is probably on its way out.
Has Corl
gotten shot in the face yet
TWD has gotten pretty bad. The Negan arc is horrible. The premier episode this season when he's standing RIGHT IN THE FUCKING OPEN and no one shoots him is just off the charts ludicrous.
The Negan arc is better than most of the arcs that came before it, way fucking better than the Governor. Them not taking a shot on a villainous character is nothing new, kinda like how they're sharpshooters when it comes to zombies but turn into Stormtroopers when fighting humans. It's a staple of the show now.
Kinda surprised at HoC shutting down filming. I expected it to finish and then Netflix just roll it out with little to no fanfare. Maybe those rumors I saw on twitter were true and got back to someone.
The only good episode of TWD is the pilot. It's never been better than that and I regret giving it four seasons before dropping it.
I'm not sure I'd say it's the only good episode, but none of the subsequent episodes have matched the quality of the first one for sure.
I don't think anyone did. From what I've been seeing this was supposed to be the final season.
