Not that it matters since the CW renews everything, but I do find it sorta disappointing that the 2 best CW comic book shows currently (Black Lightning and Legends of Tomorrow imo) have the worst ratings among the group.

It seems possible, for sure. It does seem like a lot of back-to-back shooting, so hopefully he can manage.

Also, another actor I like joins Showtime's adaptation of "The Talented Mr. Ripley":


Johnny Flynn (Beast) is set to star opposite Andrew Scott in Steven Zaillian's drama series Ripley, based on Patricia Highsmith's bestselling quintet of Tom Ripley novels at Showtime. Oscar and Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Zaillian (Schindler's List, The Night Of) will write and direct the entire first season.

In the series, Tom Ripley (Scott), a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, is hired by a wealthy man to try to convince his vagabond son, Dickie Greenleaf (Flynn), who is living a comfortable, trust-funded ex-pat life in Italy, to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.

FX to start production on "Shogun" with "Counterpart" creator Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo.

They had another adaptation of the book deep into pre-production and gearing up to shoot when they canned it. Landgraf calls this a "re-adaptation."
"It's a big re-adaptation in a sense that we had many scripts and were in pre-production, and we ended up for various reasons deciding that we didn't believe in the production plan and we didn't think the scripts in their current form were as good as they could be," FX Networks Chairman John Landgraf told Deadline during TCA earlier this month. "The writer (Ronan Bennett) was no longer available to keep working on those scripts, so we took it down to the studs, we started from scratch. Now are well into development, and are really excited about the scripts that are coming out of that. We have read multiple scripts, multiple rewrites of scripts, multiple outlines."

Both Landgraf and FX entertainment president Eric Schier praised Marks, saying that he "is doing a really good job."

Jungle Book scribe Justin wrote the first two episodes of the new incarnation of Shōgun with supervising producer (and wife) Rachel Kondo, who is of Japanese descent. The series' writing team also includes co-executive producer Shannon Goss, consulting producer Matt Lambert, script editor Maegan Houang and staff writer Emily Yoshida. FX had been employing cultural consultants to help with the scripts.

The production process in Japan requires completed scripts much earlier than in other countries, which is not done for vetting or political approval, Landgraf said.

"It's more that there is a sense of ownership each of the crafts people has, that they are not the same kind of freelance work-for-hire people that are available in England and the U.S," he said. "And if you want first class work out of them, you can't say 'here, come do this'. You have to engage them as makers and crafts people in their area, and they have to have time to digest, think, plan."

There is another big factor complicating plans for filming Japan in the coming months.

"We are actively exploring production options, and there is also the fact that if you want to shoot in Japan, you can't shoot in Japan this summer during the Olympics," Schier said. "But we are exploring it and it's something we are really excited about."

God damn, Grey's Anatony's only getting impressive with age, and Station 19 reaped all the benefits.

Outmatched has a good shot of renewal if it keeps those ratings. Not so much with Deputy.

Grey's Anatomy so far has 0 doctors being killed by an helicopter crash after losing their arm in another helicopter accident, so ER is still winning.
And the winter finale this time around just featured a car crashing into a building.

How hard is it to not falsely accuse an entire profession of being sexual predators? WTF is wrong with people.

Has anyone watched Outmatched? Because given the reviews, I think we have a contender for worst broadcast show here.
