2017-18 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: E Corp does hostile takeover. Shuts down fsociety

Odd to create a brand new show instead of just reformatting the current one, I guess it was too big of a change or they wanted a blank slate with all the contracts.
Good call, glad the business is changing so this stuff doesn't go unchecked anymore.
Get your minds thinking of Talking puns, people, high chance that title will need changing soon.
Maybe Aisha Tyler is about to get a lot busier. Or have Yvette Nicole Brown take over if she wants it because she's always a great guest on those shows.
I'd say Talking Dead will continue with a new host, as far as I can tell Hardwick doesn't have a financial stake to complicate things, but Talking with Chris Hardwick? I'd say it's dead.
Is this worth checking out?
My parents are looking for a new show after finishing The Americans, and they're both fans of ol' Billy Bob
Might try Cloak and Dagger with them, but I'm not sure if it's closer in tone to DD/Punisher or the sillier AoS. They both enjoyed the former shows, not so much the second.
Yeah, his new show is from his own production company (Fish Ladder) and that shit is probably dead. I was really looking forward to this weekend's Donald Glover one too. :(
Yeah s1 was amazing, I watched it all in one go and couldnt take my eyes off the screen!
I've only watched the first two episodes (third was last night) and it's closer to the serious Netflix shows.
Odds the Chris Hardwick news gets his AMC show cancelled/pulled before Sunday?
AMC silences Hardwick, no more talking
Sounds like Luke Cage S2 is also miss, which is a damn shame. What the hell is going on over there?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Netflix doesn't fuck up on Punisher

Sounds good
What is going on over there is that they are creating some of the best comic book shows.
Luke Cage S2 doesn't sound bad though. Villain seems to be better as well. I've been greatly enjoying that these Netflix shows has 13 episodes and had a slow pacing.

Even at 13 these seasons have been too long for the most part.
DD and Punisher, sure
Everything else though? Nope
And those impressions are meaningless when the writer straight up uses the word "amazeballs"
And nothing of value was lost. The post show talk shows are one of the worst things to happen to television in years. Just completely unnecessary garbage.
Jessica too.
Luke S1 was also great (though I understand why people didn't like the tonal shift so I won't argue that one much.)
I've still been trying to get through Punisher. Everyone says it's amazing, but it's just so slooooow at the start. Ep 1 was a good opener, but next few eps justmove at a slow pace.
This reviewer says it best:
I really feel like at this point people should know what they are in for. And if you're not a fan of the Netflix shows then maybe one should stay away as it isn't for you. I'm gonna scream if somebody comes into the OT and still shouts the pacing is a problem, when as a fan it isn't a problem at all. If you're a fan and loves these shows, then Luke Cage S2 will probably deliver more for you.

Wait, where are you getting this? The IGN review is bad, for sure, but most other reviews I'm seeing are mostly positive with a few mixed.
There seems to be a "it starts slow" narrative but that it's overall quite good, especially the second half (which is probably why Netflix releases the entire season to critics).

I don't.
I'd rather claw my eyes out than watch Chris "How awesome is this completely awesome thing right fellow nerds" Hardwick spend 40 minutes talking about shows that don't even deserve to be watched.
It's a magnificent show, the best Marvel TV has delivered. But if you feel like it's incredibly slow and you're not into it during the first or first few episodes, then it's probably not for you. And that's okay. :)
But for the fans and those who've been enjoying Netflix Marvel, The Punisher is hella fantastic.
I really enjoyed Punisher S1. I think it's probably the best season of any Marvel live action show ever.
Bernthal just owns the role.

Fast forward through everything with the FBI. That shit is awful.
Everything with Frank and Micro is excellent though, and there are some great brutal action scenes in the last few episodes to puts anything in the MCU to shame
hey that's good to see, I'll probably end up giving it a shot anyway, but expectations are in the gutter
This is a lie
I'd certainly put Punisher S1 up there with the best of MCU TV.
Agents of SHIELD S4 is the benchmark everyone should strive for though.

I feel like Agents of Shield S4, The Punisher S1, Daredevil S1 and probably/maybe Jessica Jones S2 is the absolute top tier at Marvel TV. We could be adding Cloak and Dagger if it keeps it up for the remainder of the season cause this stuff is very impressive.
Beat me by seconds. Good news for that fanbase. They were pretty devastated.

Glad to see someone picked it up, rumours from other articles suggested a 10 episode series, which could increase the quality really since there was a lot of filler this season.
I think that's what has been killing the pacing for me. Interesting stuff, then back to the FBI office. I'll still be finishing it, but just at a slower pace, probably. Too much on my backlog right now to juggle.
Expanse needed to be saved. You take that back.
They either expand world wide and move to original content, or go out of business with the rest of traditional media.
Hey remember when Netflix wasn't going to save shows anymore? Yeah, neither do they.
You fucking kidd8ng me???
Lucifer is a goddamn Good show. Out now
