I truly don't understand how anybody could possibly be enjoying this season of Legion.
It's tied with Westworld as the worst thing I've watched in 2018. Nothing else even comes close to those two.
That's because The Resident is incredibly awful and also showcases the worst medicine. Like it's purpose is to make doctors and hospitals look bad.
The last episode was actually pretty good. The (lead) doctors on the show are fine, it's the villains that are cartoonish with the exception of Bruce Greenwood's character.

Ar-... Are they going to glamorise extrajudicial killings? Unless they take the Munich route and make sure that there is at least some problematisation of the assassinations this will be the hardest pass in a while.
For a much less controversial anthology series:
Netflix Orders Dolly Parton Anthology Series Based On Her Songs
Season 2 makes season 1 look like The Wire. It's way less creative, wastes the supporting cast and has even less plot. It's been excruciating to watch.
Damn as someone who binged s1 a while after it aired and hasn't watched S2 yet thats tough to hear. I think the show definitely works better as a binge watch, I imagine week to week the cliffhangers and open ends could be frustrating.
Westworld as well works better as a binge watch I think and I've watched every episode week to week but it can be so bad sometimes but so good sometimes.
I can honestly only think of 3-4 shows (Mad Men, few others) that don't work better as binge watches, I imagine in 10-15 years every drama show will drop all its episodes all at once on whatever platform its on. The experiment Angie Tribeca did a few years ago where it broadcast its entire first season over a single day was pretty interesting too.
Man I already don't care for the supporting cast in S1 lol
That try hard music video bit at the end of S1E04 is the lamest shit I've seen in a while, and I'm currently catching up on SHIELD
My dad really likes it so I'm trying to power through it, but it's been rough so far, and I really liked Fargo!
I agree with Dead Souls on this one. Legion completely lost me this season. I dropped it 3 episodes in. Went way too much in the direction of being weird for weird's sake with barely any forward momentum around a fairly basic plot. From a production standpoint it looks good, but it's basically nonsense.
Yeah... Keshet... and they want to shoot in Israel? I think this'll definitely lean towards glamorization which, ugh.
;___;
yes
I don't know about that...even Netflix is shifting away from the "every episode at once" method for all of their shows. They have quite a few weekly shows now and more and more of their shows are getting split seasons.
I think the better strategy, assuming you are operating with *monthly* subs is to spread out your episodes so people have a reason to at least keep your sub for 3-4 months.
That seems to be the direction Netflix is going.
Three episodes in and The Expanse is starting to click with me.
The production values are slick, the plot is coming together, and even the characters are starting to become interesting. The "moon talk" is still embarrassing, but it doesn't come up often enough to ruin the show. I'm glad it got renewed.

Darn sad Netflix is doing the shows releasing on DVD only thing, thought theyd at least be more modern with releases for BDs. [voltron] Though at least this means I dont need to buy netflix
Yeah it seemed pretty obvious with how TV production works and how things capture the public attention that shows being gone for 12+ months wasn't the best for Netflix. Creators generally didn't seem to like it either.
Netflix will keep playing around until it finds a sweet spot in releasing episodes or split seasons.

I use that time to catch up on all the shows I missed and I'm still like two years behind
I use the summers for streaming shows and actually playing some video games for once. Even though I love my CW I love the break too.
Every person who watches Gotham is better than one who doesn't.
I think a good model would honestly be a 4 episode, three months batch of a show at a time. You get maybe three mini arcs for your drama shows and if they're good, people will buzz about them for three months in a a row. Then people might hop on after the first month thinking they only have a few eps to catch up on.
The Netflix split season model sucks so far cause it doesn't seem like it was planned out and was just something decided after the season was already shot.
Usually there's a mid-season finale / cliffhanger type thing but Arrested Development S5A just kind of ends and you're like "that's it?"
And with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 4A it has six half-hour episodes so you'll breeze through it in just three hours and then have an eight month break for the next three hours (Season 4B returns January 25, 2019).

That would be great.
I was thrilled that they split up the seasons of Kimmy Schmidt and Arrested Development.
They're already shooting now, they do it in the off-season for the actors who have TV show commitments. It definitely won't be late 2019 though, it should be finished shooting pretty soon. Late 2018 or early 2019.
Watching Gotham. It's a small but significant character trait.
I simultaneously love and hate it. I love how I can just go through it quickly, mark off a 'season' as "done", and then move onto to another series I need to get through. At the same time, there is the "that's it?" with it.
I also wonder how some of these shows are/will be released on video when they come out? I mean, now that they call a show 'season 5' and 'season 6' separately, but technically it's ONE season.
I wasn't impressed by the Succession pilot. Another show about a dysfunctional rich family. I'll give it another episode before I drop it.
The Netflix model lately of releasing seasons in half is okay. I think I did like the original way even if watching an entire season did feel overwhelming. But if a show is good enough then it's an easier pill to swallow. The split model, while fine, is a bit weird when you finish one of the halves. What's even weirder is if you just wait for the second half to air so you can watch it all at once anyway but I don't think anyone does that.
Isn't that show terrible tho? I'm a sucker for anything remotely supernatural and even I haven't checked it yet :(
The plot doesn't really come together until eps 8. I thought the series was just ok until then. Eps 9 onwards though, oh boy...
I watched the first episode, it was godawful, and I never went back.
It's completely different. I'm curious where they're going with it. But the most recent ep did nothing for me. I don't need more and more backstory on characters - I just need to know where the show is moving towards.
Yeah, I wasn't going to watch but given the strength of the reviews and the fact that it's summer I added it to my DVR.
Same. My favorite character has always been Dan. I was so happen to see Goodman as Dan again.
