Has anyone actually seen the original Korean The Good Doctor?
I can't picture it being remotely similar and someone thinking " Lets remake that!"

Don't hate on The Good Doctor, this show is amazing.
In this episode they have a patient that might be a terrorist because of chemicals in her body that either come from drinking, making chemical weapons, working in a water-treatment plant, or working in the pharmaceutical industry. But she's a muslim and doesn't want alcohol in her system and she's a school teacher, so it can only be the one remaining thing.
This show is garbage and it's amazing.

I think it's actually like this:
There's the werewolf based movie coming out.
There's the NZ TV show based on the local cops.
And now there's the newly announced show with the US-based vampires.
I've seen it. It's very very different. The only similarities at this point are the protagonist having autism (I also feel it's way more severe in the original but I've only seen a couple of episodes of the remake, portrayed quite differently), his relationship with the chairman of the hospital, and the relationship between the attending and the lawyer of the hospital.
The Resident - 2.6
Fail!
It also dropped like a rock to a 1.0 for its second episode, so Fox has to be super disappointed.

Better Late Than Never is a fun travel show but idk if they could possibly do another season.
I do enjoy watching four living legends and Jeff Dye shoot the shit though.

South America seems like a logical next season if they do one.
I like it too. Would be nice if they could have another season. I'm always amused as how much George Foreman wants to sleep all the time
same here, probably in all of Europe in fact. I wonder if its even on TV or just netflix, they put up the weekly eps hours after it airs in the states.
Yikes! I wonder how long Fox will keep it on the air then. I doubt it'll go up from a 1.0.
Another Period (trashy downton abbey, comedy central style) and Drunk History are both back as of last night.
Anyone watch Alienist?

Some impressions in this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/trailer-for-tnt’s-the-alienist.8881/
I wasn't as sold as I wanted to be.

General critical consensus seem to be: generic serial killer drama in pretty fancy costumes.
Which is kind of the vibe I got from the trailers, so that's disappointing (at least I don't have to hunt it down, fuck Swedish TNT for not having any streaming service).
A television network orders show about an atheist who friends God on Facebook.
Guess which network it was?
CBS
Winter break just destroyed the already challenged show The Brave, sad.Late again today. Sorry. It's still pretty busy at my work.
Monday night's ratings:
I really enjoyed Eli Stone (also a Berlanti production, created by Marc Guggenheim IIRC) though I don't think they were as explicit about it being "God" vs. just "a higher power" which for me personally is a more interesting premise. But I'm open to this show depending on execution. Couldn't much get into Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, though we only tried one and a half eps or so.
There was also a Japanese drama last year called Boku Unmei no Hito desu, basically "I'm your destiny," where a water sales worker gets an unexpected drop-in from "God," basically a pushy millennial who inserts himself into his life, hangs out in the protagonist's apartment, and gives urgent Hitch-style advice on how to get together with a woman in the next office over, in order to eventually create a child who will save the world from an eventual apocalypse. Very sweet and funny show.
That almost certainly means Sky passed on it.
Which is interesting. Could backfire if they ever change their mind and retcon it in to the Arrowverse (which doesn't seem very unlikely tbh).
I don't think Sky had a great screenings last year. I assume they were pressured by Disney into buying Inhumans in exchange for something else they actually needed, but they seem to have given them a marketing commitment too. And they passed on Runaways.
Eh, things almost never hold from their premiere. That's a really solid rating for BL. It should have a long run on The CW.
LOL, Flash is on a constant drop since the crossover.Expected BL to hold... if not increase
Alas
Meanwhile the show that actually got a bump is stupidly sitting out right now.
What they're doing on the Flash is a bad plotline. It feels like the show doesn't want to just let its title character be a superhero. In season 3 he was moping and worrying about his lover dying. Now he's gone to prison and sitting out from crimefighting. I kind of get what they're trying to do, but they also clearly don't understand why people actually watch these shows. I'm not surprised at all that people are tuning out.
To be fair, that's why we have Ralph, right? At least we have a superhero doing superhero things while Barry's out of commission. The show would be a lot worse off without him.
Sure, at the very least they are having fun this year and making it campy instead of the mopey soap opera it was last year. But Ralph is also a very acquired taste and I can see him not being very appealing to a portion of the audience. And the show ultimately is still called The Flash. People want to see Barry. Due to his predicament now a significant amount of each episode is dedicated to whatever he's doing in prison, which frankly isn't very interesting and has a very low chance of mattering long term.

whoa
wasnt expecting that
What are thoughts on The Resident here? I feel like it takes unrealistic medical shows to the next level. Holy shit people are scummy here.
Black Lightning was never going to increase, that's still a pretty small drop from the pilot.
Flash's ratings steadily dropping on the other hand.

At least in the Flash's case it is the fourth season, and viewer decay is pretty common for a show coming up on five years old. Maybe it's a quality thing, but I think it might just be that the show is getting old and after a while it'll settle around a pretty consistent baseline.
Give me a good main villain and characters that don't make such stupid and obvious mistakes.
And bring back some of the old rogues for those one-off episodes.
Fascinating that MTV is at the very bottom since they sort of lead the reality tv charge.
That's true. I wonder what their plan is now? Haven't even paid attentiin to them as years. Just that actual music is on MTV2.
Ultimately the show is under the guidance of the showrunner. Kreisberg being off creates the potential for someone with new and exciting vision to take his place, but that's not a guarantee. And Kresiberg was the main person responsible for both the show's highs and lows up to this point. There aren't "Good writers" that left/were fired under his reign that suddenly caused the show to get worse. That's not how it works.
