(tbh, the TV side was OK, the film side was a fucking trash fire)
Film wise, it's a dire ass Awards Season.
I try to keep up on it but I had no idea. I couldn't figure out on my Vue DVR why it was showing "new." Then out of nowhere there were 10 eps.
It was good. However I'm sad the other two main cops left the show. I guess it's hard to keep people around for such a sporadic lower rated show, especially when it could be canceled at any time.
Huh? This seems like something to get a rise out of people. Ozark is excellent.
Who/what is Fosse? What is a Verdon? It sounds like some kind of aerospace training manual. And how do you even pronounce either of those words? If they're people, then they needed to add a qualifier to it because neither of them are household names and that title tells you literally nothing about it at first glance.
Feud: Bette and Joan is a good title because even if you don't know who Bette Davis or Joan Crawford are (and unfortunately a lot of people don't), you at least know that the show is about a feud between two people with those names.
A lot of critics find it to be derivative dreck.
Netflix's upcoming 'Sex Education' (ft. Gillian Anderson) is getting good reviews - Sepinwall is favorably comparing it to American Vandal and Big Mouth. Anyone making the OT?
you had me at Big Mouth and American Vandal
edit: the trailer is good, I hadnt even given it a thought because of the title tbh.
Yeah, I saw the trailer this past week. It's looks really really good.
Grey's Anatomy S15 is extended to 25 episodes:

weird i didnt get AV or BM vibes at all from watching the trailer
Monday night's ratings. America's Got Talent: The Champions premiered very well. The Bachelor premiered great too, matching last year's season premiere:

Might as well just go ahead and extend the show to 25 seasons tbh
Hmmm...it is basically a The Killing (US) reunion. Will check out.
who even watches this show anymore? My mom watches everything that I don't watch, but even she doesn't watch it. My wife watched it for maybe 5 seasons but gave up.
I wonder how much of that is from the Black Friday promo....
It's only gonna get better for Hulu too, when that Disney+ and Hulu bundle hit later this year.
Just checked and they hit 17 million in Jan 2018 and 20 million in May 2018. This puts them at 25 million at the end of 2018.
So probably not the majority of the increase. Thanks. That's good news for them
I was listening to some podcast a few days ago (maybe Slashfilm Daily?) And they had an off-handed comment about how The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 was "mostly panned as being a huge disappointment", and used that as an excuse for why Margaret Atwood was going to write a sequel novel.
???
It's weird how "consensus" narratives like this form within media bubbles. By most accounts I thought Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale was incredible, with some of Elizabeth Moss's best work ever, and at the very most it had a disappointing ending scene which ends up making sense if you think about it a bit.
Season 2 is also sitting at a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to 94% for Season 1.

It's legendary choreographer, director and film director Bob Fosse. He is definitely a household name... provided that household likes musical theatre/film. I think the name of the show is fine and it's just a teaser essentially so they have time to promote the show in other ways.
btw, you'd hate the name of the musical based on his life even more!
Fine. I'll do it. I was already massively in after learning that they didn't stick the Ezra Furman track in the trailer by accident, he's doing the music for the show as well!
Yup. I'm not, nor have I ever been, a musical fan and I know of Fosse. Also under different circumstances I wouldn't be interested in this show but with Rockwell and Williams leading I'll definitely be tuning in
Good to see Sepinwall is positive on the final season of You're The Worst

That's good that he seems to be mostly positive on it since season 4 was pretty disappointing. I feel like when most shows have a prepared final season, they try to make the best with what they have. It doesn't always work out but it's good to see many try.
Both!
Every dark anti hero drama of the last 15 years.
Yeah, same here. Season 2 was mostly excellent, barring some wonky plot contrivances that mostly left me worried about the quality/direction of the series moving forward. It featured Yvonne Strahovski's best performance of her career and Elizabeth Moss continued to deliver one incredible scene after another.
They do need to shake things up in season three because season two did occasionally veer into "repeating ourselves for the sake of misery porn" territory, but it's still a very effective and relevant drama.
But I don't see it on many 'Best Of' lists this year, so there does seem to be a consensus that it was a disappointment.
"Let's Dance! The Bob Fosse & Gwen Verdon E! True Hollywood Story" would have been a better title.

Good because I didn't really want to.
I felt like season 4 was a solid rebound from the dreadful season 3. Critics liked season 3 though (I think? idk) so it's hard to gauge how I'll feel about the final season. I hope it's a true return to form though.
I will agree with you that season 3 was also pretty bad, especially with how it ended (which led to how season 4 was), but the dynamic in season 4 was so different just because Jimmy and Gretchen weren't together for most of that season. Apparently, season 3 ended so poorly for my boyfriend that he refused to watch season 4 with me. Lol. He said that was a "jump the shark" moment.
Tuesday night's ratings. Everything's all messed up because someone decided to go on TV last night at 9pm ET and make a fool of himself:
Those reviews RT is using are only based on the first few episodes of the season tho. The critics I follow definitely soured on it as the season went on but idk about "panned".
Season 4 almost completely decimated my interest in YTW so glad to hear season 5 gets back on track
Manifest fans where were you :(
Pretty good (unless hulu is also counting jpn numbers too?) I think especially considering its at slightly less than half of netflix us alone which is certainly something to feel good about considering its *netflix*. Im just glad there is still life in hulu and it wont be going away.

Hulu hates 3-Ply. And also hates America.

You know, I'm surprised thst the address had the worst ratings on Fox.... followed by a political Gifted in which half the people turned off their tvs. Wow that drop. I don't think an S3 looks too good. Fox with it's trigger finger on cancels + kinda/sorta future Disney property + tanking ratings. I feel a sudden, awful ending (or just plain inconclusive) incoming :x
Usually when news or politics occur on The Big Four networks, NBC tends to get the most viewers. I just assume it's because people have the easiest access to that channel.
I Hate You, America.
Too easy?

You forgot about the 3-ply. THE 3-PLY SHUMI!.
oh and also that Star Wars cartoon for kids that some adults got really upset over is getting a second season.
That looks pretty great!
The Groundhog Day gimmick might be in danger of getting played out these days, but I'm still a fan of it for the time being.

Sounds good! Guess that means the Billy the Kid (or whatever it was) series he was working on for History that was announced like 3 years ago is dead.

The TV Gods were good to me when I slept:
Sarah Michelle Gellar To Star In 'Sometimes I Lie' Limited Series From Ellen DeGeneres & Warner Bros TV
CBS Orders 'Evil' Supernatural Drama Pilot From Robert & Michelle King

Just put it on CBSAA, we know how well the Kings' supernatural stories do on CBS proper (RIP BrainDead).
