Yeah I absolutely loved it. David Simon's miniseries are perhaps even better than his regular series.
Yeah this sounds nice...
gets flashbacks to A Legacy of Ashes trying to get off the groundSimon and Mediapro are seeking to raise the necessary funds both in the U.S. and Europe.
and that's why Legends is the GOATI'm so out of touch with the Arrowverse lol :O
Legends of Tomorrow spoiler (?)
It's the best new show of the year so far, and I'd be very surprised if it wasn't high on my top 10 by the year's end.Hm, I should check out Killing Eve. Barely saw part of a commercial for it but it did seem interesting.
Eh, it's getting pretty decent coverage if you look beyond the usual (mostly male dominated) TV sphere so you have the likes of Vogue is covering it, and Refinery29 is just straight up pushing it (review, interview, article on interview from another publication, thinkpiece, and I'm not including the paid content article they did where they have the first episode on the site). Vulture has a really good interview with Sandra Oh up that got some nice response:For all the acclaim Killing Eve is getting, practically nobody is discussing it.
That stuff ends by the second episode.God damn I need to catch up on The Good Fight. I was all up in there during S1. Blame the streaming service.
I assume they fixed the Maia stuff? That was the weak point of S1 by far.
I just found out New Girl is doing a flashforward and going three years into the future for the final season.
Just found out...guess I was out of the marketing loop lol.
Now, The Good Fight which has pretty much turned into essential TV this season is getting tragically overlooked, even by people in this thread. cc: RatskyWatsky
Actually a lot of people watched The Good Wife, it averaged like 10 million viewers.
pls dead souls. You know that at least Les Moonves is watching the show.Spinoff to a show nobody watched and is on CBS All Access. You can't be overlooked if no one even knows you exist, can you?
Only reason I know of The Good Fight is because of y'all and that I've seen commercials for it since it airs on W Network in Canada. Doesn't mean I've watched it though because I never cared about The Good Wife.
I mean on forumsEh, it's getting pretty decent coverage if you look beyond the usual (mostly male dominated) TV sphere

And then you have the fact that it is in competition at the inaugural Canneseries (which is something I'll do a separate post on later).
So I think it's probably getting talked about more than any other BBC America original but maybe not on the same places that talked about Orphan Black.

Amazon In Talks For 'Sandstorm' Series On Libyan Dictator Muammar GaddafiAMC has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order to supernatural horror drama NOS4A2, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Joe Hill. The project, produced by AMC Studios in association with Michael Eisner's Tornante Television, was created by Jami O'Brien (Fear The Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels) who will serve as showrunner.
...
NOS4A2 introduces Vic McQueen, a young, working class artist who discovers she has a supernatural ability to track the seemingly immortal Charlie Manx. Manx feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – a twisted Christmas Village of Manx's imagination where every day is Christmas day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic must strive to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.
Amazon is in talks to develop Sandstorm, a series about notorious Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, who seized power in a coup at the age of 29, and ruled Libya for more than four decades before his bloody demise at the hands of his own countrymen in 2011.
Carter Harris (Bloodline) will write, and Mohamed Diab (Clash) will direct.
You can do better than this. I've seen your Arrowverse episode previews.

In a competitive situation, Apple has nabbed a TV series adaptation of Foundation, the seminal Isaac Asimov science fiction novel trilogy. The project, from Skydance Television, has been put in development for straight-to-series consideration. Deadline revealed last June that Skydance had made a deal with the Asimov estate and that David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman were cracking the code on a sprawling series based on the books that informed Star Wars and many other sci-fi films and TV series. Goyer & Friedman will be executive producers and showrunners. Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross also will executive produce.
btw this is your occasional reminder that Paramount Network hasn't even mentioned Heathers since February 28th, much less scheduled it for transmission.

BBC, Mammoth Gear Up YA Race Drama 'Noughts & Crosses' With 'Being Human' Creator, Director Kibwe TavaresParamount Network has put in development thriller drama I Know Who You Are, based on the 2017 Spanish limited series Sé quién eres. The project hails from The Last Ship co-creator Steven Kane, director David Semel (Star Trek: Discovery) and CBS TV Studios.
Written by Kane and directed by Semel, I Know Who You Are is a missing-person thriller that follows a morally ambiguous celebrity journalist who awakens from a car accident as a suspect in the disappearance of his own niece.
BBC One and Victoria producer Mammoth Screen have set rising UK filmmaker Kibwe Tavares to direct the first three episodes of anticipated drama Noughts And Crosses, I have learned. The producers have also brought on Being Human creator Toby Whithouse to oversee scripting. The team is gearing up to shoot the dystopian YA adaptation later this year as a 6x60min drama and there are discussions going on at the moment to potentially bring aboard a sizeable U.S. partner.
Overseas interest is understandable. Malorie Blackman's buzzed-about YA book series takes place in an alternate 21st-century Britain in which whites and blacks are segregated following centuries in which Africans had a technological and infrastructural superiority over Europeans who they made their slaves. The series, first announced in summer 2016, will chart the forbidden love story between 'Cross' Sephy, a member of the black ruling class and daughter of a prominent politician, and 'Nought' Callum, a white member of the underclass.
Writer Levi David Addai (Youngers) and Life On Mars co-creator Matthew Graham have moved on from the project which is now being script-led by Being Human creator and Doctor Who director Whithouse with Lydia Adetunji (Riviera) and Nathaniel Price (Five By Five).
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they burn it off in the summer. I don't really see the show working post-Parkland, then again I don't get why they'd even do Heathers post-Columbine. Even much less so when apparently the show is barking up the wrong tree with what it's trying to criticise.
Using The Good Wife against me!? I don't know what to retort with now ;_;

The book was decent, so I hope the show turns out okay.This was the more interesting show of the three they had in their last script-to-series program. The other two sounded pretty lame.
This book was positively terrifying, but I have absolutely no faith that AMC, of all networks, will be able to pull it off.

Put bluntly, I just don't trust anyone associated with the Walking Dead (or its spinoff) to be able to handle a book like that and pull it off well.
It would really just need to be a miniseries with a set endpoint from minute one. No wasted time, no cheap plot ploys, no marketing-driven storytelling, no meandering nonsense.
The shows are all made by separate teams, so that's a really bizarre thing to say.
The showrunner is part of the creative team behind Fear the Walking Dead, which is why I am immediately skeptical.
The third season of Fear the Walking Dead is considered the best "Walking Dead" season in years - she also wrote only two episodes.
