2018-19 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Perfectionist Horseman commits perjury, held In Contempt

I'm actually surprised they're ending it already. I thought they would've kept renewing this show until the wheels fell off. Season 5 was probably the best season so far, so I'm interested in seeing how they'll wrap everything up.
I'm fine with Silicon Valley ending. I thought last season was probably the weakest season, with Jared being the highlight of the season. Plus from a story line perspective, they are at a place it makes sense to end.
Is this like how Hulu "renewed" Letterkenny, or do they actually fund it with the CBC?
Like Letterkenny. CBC renewed this two months ago.

Deadline is a special level of terrible when it comes to co-pros/distribution deals, they basically always only report what the American side does (and even fail to mention that it is a co-pro sometimes). Which unless you know beforehand is not something you'd notice whilst reading through Deadline's feed.
It's kinda how people neglect that Chernobyl is a US-UK co-pro between HBO (US) and Sky (UK) and might not have happened without Sky's involvement and only praise HBO for it.
Yes! Season 1 was merely decent, the sort of thing that takes an entire season (of 6 half hour episodes, to be fair) to get to what should have been the end of the pilot, but season 2 is a big step up even though it's still the same show (just deeper and richer). I hope they increase the episode order again though - season 2 was 4 episodes longer than season 1 but still felt a bit too short.

Amazon Developing Female Comedy 'La Fresa' From 'Girlboss' Creator, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg & Sony TV

I'm glad Starz is sticking by it (even if my personal interest kinda petered out in season 1 🤐)
Wow, they really are terrible. lol
Ah cool, that CBC churning out that neo-noir CanCon!
This is about what I figured. I like the show but it's been a cycle of storylines that don't really move the plot forward. And now with TJ gone a big comedic element has been lifted.

Yeah, I enjoyed it for what it was. Main reason I originally watched was because of Jennifer Carpenter but as a show it kept me entertained. Was definitely a "network" show, plot moved super fast and what would be huge storylines in a more methodical series were wrapped up way too quickly but reminded me of Designated Survivor in terms of keeping me entertained. I have 3 episodes left on my DVR but doubt I'll watch them now that the show's been canned.
60mins was a repeat that they happened to update the lead ins for since some of the stories were kind of outdated (like who the warriors would play against, or even the To Kill a Mockingbird play debut in nov).Sunday night's ratings. It's just basketball and reruns:
How the hell did Burden of Truth get renewedSunday night's ratings. It's just basketball and reruns:
It's a Canadian show that was already renewed up here that The CW said "well, if new episodes are being made anyway we might as well air them also". lol
Virtually all of the shows my wife and I watch have been cancelled this year except for....manifest despite...
being a Nielsen family
The concept of this is really cool (and actually original for once), but they ended up firing the original showrunner and literally re-shooting the entire season after it was finished and came out poorly (this was meant to be out last year). So... I hope it all ended up alright.

I mean. It's been a clusterfuck since the script was written in... checks notes... 2005. So just that it is coming out is a big win.
Only in the standard development hell sense. Plus the feature was a dead project for a long time before this television version started to become a reality.
Actually erecting elaborate sets, shooting an entire season of television in Prague, scrapping it and the entire creative team apart from its creator, and then reshooting it all with new scripts a year later with the same actors like it was a second season, while actually being a redo of the first season, is a whole new level of clusterfuck.
But I'm going to stay optimistic, because it really is a world/premise I like and the actors are talented. And given the amount of effort to get it right, you would hope they actually did.
I don't mind a "Man in the Highcastle" type story about this I suppose.
But if you're going to do this alt-history stuff anyway, why not have a more diverse cast? It's like did someone not watch Hidden Figures?
Isn't it just like a period Fables?
whoaaa :O
How do you get a point where you finish an entire season and then decide to scrap it?
Everyone in town knew about it. The trades don't report everything. The only thing they reported was the canning of the original director, but that was just the first of many problems.
It's an original world that's sort of Victorian England but with a bunch of different fantasy races. With the fantasy races standing in as minorities (of course). "Carnival Row" is basically the ghetto where they're all confined in this city.
This first season is centrally focused on a serial killer murder mystery mashed up with a love story. And there's some simpler Got-style political scheming going on at the same time.
They knew they were in deep shit before they finished shooting the first go round. But they were too far in to turn back at that point. Part of it was due to executive turnover. Amazon unequivocally would not air what was shot though, hence the redo.
Wow. I mean, there's sunk cost fallacy and there's whatever this was. lol
