Right? Don't they know they have to let it air a season before killing it in order for the Kyle Killen Curse to continue?
Hey. It turned out to all be about $. Not some grand conspiracy theory.
Who would of thought.
I'll believe this is finally actually happening once it's actually available for me to watch, and not a moment sooner.
Yep, that jumped up the anticipation list real quick with that pairing.
Shocking... How old of an audience were they targeting with that? Even the original show felt like something targeted at people already in their 40s and probably voted this time around for the idiot the show would rail against.
Nooooooo! 😭
I'll miss those stupid assholes.
They need something to pull in those 0.1 and 0.2s on Friday nights.
JtV probably does extremely well on Netflix, otherwise I doubt they would have kept it alive this long. But yeah, this is probably DOA on linear CW.
That seems sensible, given how many past attempts at a Halo series/movie have stalled, not to mention that the franchise is... what, a decade or so past its peak cultural relevance?
So I guess Gone, the Bravo show that ended its first season tonight, was an internationally produced show that aired overseas first? Now it's just come to North America. It was apparently first released in 2017, and there doesn't seem to be any talk about a second season on Wikipedia even though it ends on a cliffhanger.
Has anyone read anything, or seen any more current news? It's not great, or anything special, but I liked it enough to continue.

Given the success of the Arrowverse and chicago shoes I'm surprised interconnected TV universes aren't a bigger thing these days

The Kitsch of death. Might as well prepare a witty title for this one; it's cancelled before it even premieres.
HBO wins drug war against Klug?
Excellent! Even though it hasn't even premiered I hope B99 gets renewed as well. Also would be incredibly happy if Superstore gets renewed too.
Great! I wonder if there is an endgame in sight though. This current season hasn't been nearly as good as the first two.
This caught my eye from the "Daredevil" cancellation:
I wish Disney capitulated. Netflix shows became infamously bloated, and cutting things back to an 6-8 episode season would have done wonders for the overall quality of the shows.
Shame.

I like the actors in it (Garner and Britton), but the subject matter looks so dull, like a Lifetime TV movie.
Netflix Marvel would've been so much better at 8 episodes. It's insane that it took them so long to realize (with Iron Fist S2 at 10 eps), at which point it was probably too late.
Or they could've stopped trying to write it as a 13 hour movie and just go more episodic. I struggle to watch Netflix. Even the runtime on individual episodes are bloated. I like that network stuff is 42min and that's it.

I disagree that fewer episodes would fix Netflix Marvel's problems. I've watched shows with 8 episode and seen bloat. I've watched Agents of SHIELD's 23 episode seasons and they don't feel bloated.
Bloat is a writing issue not an episode count issue imo.

This. When people complain about too many episodes, it usually isn't the length of the season that's the problem, but the writing. If you can't properly fill out 13+ episodes of a superhero/zombie/whatever series, I don't know what to tell you. A Justified approach would have worked so well with the Marvel Netflix shows too - start by doing 4-5 episodic/procedural episodes before going full serialized in the back half. Being forced into a box can be constraining, but it can also spur creativity like no other. That that didn't happen with any of the NMCU series is telling.
ugh you just reminded me of how good Justified was, I need to rewatch that and Deadwood
I'm pretty sure Netflix didn't allow them to go episodic, or as episodic as they needed to and it really shows. It took them a while to figure out what worked and it shows with stuff like GLOW finally alleviating issues in run time, episode order, storylines, etc.
The 13 episode thing was a Marvel mandate. Netflix wanted shorter seasons.
Which makes it all the more funny that they're trying to come out of this blamelessly.
A big issue with the Netflix series was how they used their budget. The series were really expensive but it felt really cheap in the way they showcased the characters and their powers.
Iron Fist and Defenders not using their budgets to show an actual dragon at the same time CW had its characters fighting giant talking sharks was really advoctave.
Netflix marvel felt like it was ashamed at its source material at times instead of embracing it like the MCU proper and Arrowverse did.

WarnerMedia's Tiered Streaming Plan Takes Shape
It still comes across as bit of a mess to me, and I'm not as enthusiastic about its chances vis-à-vis Netflix as the analyst quoted in the piece:
