Still waiting on a SEAL Team and Five-O crossover as well.Magnum P.I. will probably have a crossover with Hawaii Five-0.
Question for the experts: I thought 22 episodes was the standard these days (or for the last few years) for broadcast shows. I noticed Elementary is still 24 eps per season tho, which seems very "old school".
Magnum P.I. will probably have a crossover with Hawaii Five-0.
...did we ever find out which newly cancelled show got picked up again? Teased on the last thread, but not sure if I missed it.
The dude should update his blind item articles with the real answer after some time like he did in he past.
The EU prepares to adopt a law forcing SVOD services (Netflix, Amazon, et al.) to have at least 30% of their catalog consist of local shows.
Such a law could be formally adopted by the end of 2018. My take on it, this seems pretty good? If anything, it means that Netflix and Amazon now have a reason to ramp up their investment and purchases in international television. The success of shows like "Dark", "Gomorrah", and more show that international content can do well if given the proper exposure. In addition, I'd love for Netflix et al. to produce more films from countries that don't get their shot in the international limelight.
I think Netflix already qualifies for this, and Amazon has to be close. I'm very happy with the international content on Netflix. Babylon Berlin is straight up the best thing on the platform imo.The EU prepares to adopt a law forcing SVOD services (Netflix, Amazon, et al.) to have at least 30% of their catalog consist of local shows.

What made this season even more frustrating is that they did have some interesting concepts to work with. A Bad Boys spinoff set at a more serious tone. A modern and more relevant version of an all female cop duo. An LA Confidential show likened to the movie. A Supernatural that looked interesting and was well liked by the fans. A new take of a superhero show with an Indian cast (yeah it could have bomb, but it would have been great to check out). And they were all canned.
Charter Communications has given a 13-episode series order to LA's Finest, the drama pilot starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba from writers Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier, Sony Pictures TV, Jerry Bruckheimer Television and 2.0 Entertainment. It is set to premiere in 2019 exclusively on Charter's Spectrum as the platform's first major original series.
They seem to have ambitions for their channel/OTT/whatever, but I'm not so sure it's worth the investment. It's not like AT&T's Audience has been a smash hit.The O.C. star Adam Brody has joined Sky's Fast and the Furious-style drama Curfew and the show will air exclusively on Charter Communications via its Spectrum Originals in 2019.
Brody will play mysterious megalomaniac millionaire Max Larssen in the street race drama, which will air on Sky One and also stars Titanic star Billy Zane and The Hour's Miranda Richardson. It is a high-profile get for the British pay-TV giant, which is aggressively expanding its slate of original dramas.
Speaking of Charter, I meant to post this when it broke but forgot about it until RatskyWatsky 's post about L.A.'s Finest (still love that title)

Yup, and Audience makes even less sense since AT&T now owns HBO and Turner. I really don't get it, but hey if a giant telecom is what is required for a show that I'm not really planning to watch that features a mildly good pun to survive then I, for one, welcome our corporate overlords.It's so bizarre for cable providers to bother with exclusive content when the industry has been deregulated to the point where most Americans have very little choice in providers anyway.

Gomorrah, Babylon Berlin, and The Bureau are better than 90% of television elsewhere. but maybe those were the exceptions you mentioned...I find the international shows to be generally lower quality (with a few exceptions). Probably because Hollywood steals all the best talent from everywhere else in the world. But mainly I hate subtitles as I can't passively watch.
Eh I loved it but it was all over the place in terms of quality
Your use of past tense is odd since it's still going on, and I disagree.Eh I loved it but it was all over the place in terms of quality
Didn't even realize that. I only watched two seasons. I just felt like some of the turns of character (the bosses son comes to mind, as well as the main protagonist from season one becoming a huge heel) didn't feel earned. At times it's beautiful, and the acting was great when not too over the top. I also truly enjoyed the cinematography. I think it squandered a lot of potential from the first season to create strife and that left a bad taste in my mouth. On the whole I'd still say it's worth the watch though. Really interesting show regardlessYour use of past tense is odd since it's still going on, and I disagree.
The third season has aired in Europe, and was great, IMO. Fourth is still coming.Didn't even realize that. I only watched two seasons.

I'll revisit it. Honestly I don't even recall the end of season two. I remember dying to watch it in the states before Netflix picked it up as I was a huge fan of the movie. Sort of off topic but is subarbia (however they spell it) any good? I was worried it was just going to be a cheap imitationThe third season has aired in Europe, and was great, IMO.

I'm so ready for Jeopardy to be back.
Eh, even a garbage bin has enough taste to not be a brown coat.
Co-created with former "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" showrunner Warren Leight, the latest installment of the enduring "Law & Order" franchise is based on New York's actual Hate Crimes Task Force, the second oldest bias-based task force in the U.S. The unit, which pledges to uphold a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of any kind, works under the NYPD's real Special Victims Unit and often borrows SVU's detectives to assist in their investigations. The first incarnation of this new unit will be introduced in the latter part of the upcoming 20th season of "SVU."
There's probably a better name for that show out there somewhere.
