Children's Hospital was like that NTSF:SUV:whatever show where it's a comedy, so Medical Police is appropriately dumb.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is for gamers to not act like total raging gamers over "The Witcher."

Yours, torre_avenue

It's one of those shows that was never going to catch eyes in the avalanche of Netflix releases.

That winter lull is hitting already. CBS still airing shows, mainly midseason finales though, didn't help.

Zackary Momoh to star with Lupita Nyongo in HBO Max's limited series adaptation of "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, showrun by Danai Gurira.


Zackary Momoh (Harriet) has been cast in a leading role opposite Lupita Nyong'o in HBO Max's Americanah, the limited series based on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's best-selling novel of the same name.

Americanah tells the epic story of Ifemelu (Nyong'o), a young, beautiful, self-assured woman raised in Nigeria, who as a teenager falls in love with her classmate Obinze (Momoh). Living in a military-ruled country, they each depart for the west, with Ifemelu heading for America, where, despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple for the first time with what it means to be black. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous undocumented life in London.

Tuesday night's ratings:

CBS's "NCIS" went down 0.1 from its last new episode three weeks ago, while "FBI" and "NCIS: Los Angeles" each went up 0.1 from the same time frame.
NBC's "The Voice" season/cycle 17 finale averaged out to a 1.17, which is slightly below last week's rating of 1.2. (I might be splitting hairs at this point.) The average total audience came out to 7.99 million viewers. So, it was overall even with how well it did last season/cycle in May, in both the 18-49 demo and total viewership.
Fox's "The Resident" went down 0.1 from its last new episode two weeks ago, while "Empire" held steady.

I must shill for IFC's brilliant "Sherman's Showcase" as another awesome show that none of you cowards here are watching.

Expose on why Ruth Wilson left "The Affair"

That bigger story, it turns out, is much like the Rashomon-style narrative of the show itself, which explored different character perspectives on the same events and let the audience decide who might be the unreliable narrator. The Hollywood Reporter interviewed many of those involved in Wilson's exit and the events that precipitated it. Many say Wilson, who is restrained by an NDA, had long wanted to leave the show because of ongoing frustrations with the nudity required of her, friction with Treem over the direction of her character, and what she ultimately felt was a "hostile work environment," later the subject of a previously unreported 2017 investigation by Showtime parent company CBS.

Those insiders add that Wilson felt Treem, in particular, pressured her to perform such scenes. "There was a culture problem at the show from the very beginning and a tone-deafness from Sarah Treem about recognizing the position she was putting actors in," says one source with firsthand knowledge of the production. "Over and over again, I witnessed Sarah Treem try to cajole actors to get naked even if they were uncomfortable or not contractually obligated to." According to this individual, that coaxing took the form of pressuring actresses by telling them, "Everyone is waiting for you," or "You look beautiful," to ease any insecurities they may have had. "It's things you would think would be coming out of a man's mouth from the 1950s," says the source. "The environment was very toxic."

Wilson's opportunity to extricate herself from the show ultimately came about after a chance meeting Sept. 20, 2016, between Jeffrey Reiner, an executive producer and frequent director on the The Affair, and Girls creator Lena Dunham.
...
As recounted in Konner's post, "a producer/director" on "another TV show that shoots nearby" struck up a conversation with Dunham in which he praised her comfort with nudity in explicit terms. "You would show anything. Even your asshole," he said, according to Konner's piece. Lamenting how difficult it was to get some of the actors on The Affair to shoot nude scenes, Reiner — who "seemed very drunk," according to Konner's post and other sources who were there — then allegedly asked Dunham if she would have dinner alone with Wilson the next night to persuade her to "show her tits, or at least some vag," before he went on to "critique and crudely evaluate the bodies of all the women on his show." At one point, Reiner pulled out his phone to show Dunham a graphic photo of "a mutual friend with a cock next to her face," as Konner described it. Sources say that the image was of Affair actress Maura Tierney and a nude male actor working as a body double for actor Josh Stamberg. Reiner declined to comment.
