Of course Netflix axed it. I started watching S1 because I heard about it getting super queer in S2 but then I remembered it was a Netflix show. So I waited and I am glad I did.

Netflix sure has been saying "Fuck off d*kes" a lot lately. Wait no, that's pretty much every streamer at this point. Now just waiting for Amazon to formally cancel A League of Their Own. 🙃

I watched a few episodes and thought it was okay at best, put it to the back burner to watch other shows. Comedies usually take a while to gell and for the cast to deliver chemistry. Reviews were not kind.

Yeah, I think if it were it a network comedy then it maybe it would have got a second season and I think they could have retooled. The cast was strong and so is the premise.

But the first season really wasn't funny at all and this cancellation is no surprise.

Yeah, and sitcoms find a much bigger audience these days when they have multiple seasons and more people get to binge them. It's a kind of patience of ROI that Netflix does not have these days.

I didn't really appreciate Renner until this show. He just throws DOWN in this. No one in the history of film/TV has made the making of a German pancake more sublime. Can't wait...

Same here about Renner… didn't like particularly care for him before this but his performance here completely changed my mind.

I don't think 30 minute sitcoms really fit with the Netflix audience. They've tried a bunch over the years but I'm stuggling to think of barely any that had any signficant success. It's been years since The Ranch and Fuller House ended.

I expect that That '90s Show isn't going to be particularly well either.

Be curious to see if Girls5Eva can find a home there.

I hope so, show is really funny. Should help it will have 2 seasons ready to drop before the 3rd season and Kimmy Schmidt seemed to do well for them back in the day.

Warrior Nun season 2 was brilliant stuff. Netflix sending it out to die with no marketing, and then cancelling it was just blindingly stupid.

Much like the expanse, this should be an easy pickup for Amazon prime video.

Watched most of The Recruit on Netlix while I was sick and its really fun. Not what I was expecting at all. Kinda like a satire on the CIA. Id say its closer to The Good Fight than anything thing else ive seen in awhile.

No lol. It's a comedy/satire. The first two episodes are directed by Doug Liman, but the show runner is the person behind The Rookie.

It also ends on a cliffhanger which kinda pisses me off since we don't know for sure if there will be a season 2.

I finished Wednesday yesterday, I really liked it, I don't usually much care for YA stuff (nor do I hate / avoid it tbh) but this really clicked with me. Like I said previously, for me it was what I wanted Sabrina to be. It has the gothic and supernatural thing going for it, but Wednesday herself is a thousand percent better main character than Sabrina was (in no small part because Ortega just kills it in the role), but more importantly, I felt all the YA cast surrounding Wednesday was much better (and much less annoying) than the one in Sabrina.

Enid is RIDICULOUSLY cute (that's another role where the actress kills it), the love interests are much less annoying than the dudes in Sabrina, the adult characters for the most part were good (helps when you have Gwendolyn and Ricci I guess), it looks gorgeous (everytime they did side by side shots of Enid and Wednesday in their room with the color / black and white split I wanted to frame it as a poster), and the mystery was actually compelling, even if the payoff was a bit flat. The CGI monsters are a bit spotty but it doesn't detract from the show.

Oh and all the little splatterings of the other Addams Family characters helped. And Thing was great (as is in the show a ton).

Gordita Chronicles is off HBO Max as promised. I only had 3 episodes left, too. It was a sweet show, kinda like one Day at a Time meets The Middle. Hopefully it'll pop up elsewhere before long.

Oddly it's still available in Canada under the HBO Max branding. I wonder how the international licensing deals will play out with this stuff.

Me too, Justified is easily in my top 5 favorite shows of all time. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Looking over that article, looks like the creators are excited to take the show/Raylan in a new direction.

""We aren't actually using the plot of Six of Crows in season 2." He says, "That is a beefy and robust story that requires its own lane." There will be "definite nods to the Crows storylines in those books" with season 2, but Heisserer notes for book readers that they are saving the Ice Court job, the main plot of Six of Crows, for another season. "We have a bigger ambition for it," he mentions."

Six of Crows spinoff, plz

Weird, I just assumed they were sending the show to die.
Meanwhile, no follow up to Rainbow Six...

Yea I was also wondering about Rainbow Six. They teased it pretty hard after the movie, but I havent seen much since. They have so many of these shows now though they could probably just wait till Jack Ryan S4 is over.

Jack Ryan was okay... I think better than the previous seasons, but also being about Russians, it's the most boring. I guess at this point I've just turned into liking stuff for dads.

On a related note, I totally forgot about Rogue Heroes, the BBC show about the formation of the SAS, until Amazon recommended it to me based on Jack Ryan and it's... weird. They're going for the Guy Ritchie thing, and I guess to tell a story about the SAS you either have to treat their stories as wacky hijinks or as... well, something like Seal Team. The music choices are weird though... I really didn't expect to hear the HHH theme "The Game" in the middle of a montage of SAS guys doing nonsense.
I think I liked it, but I don't know really know if it's good. lol

The back half of Jack Ryan S3 was better than the first half, but not by much. It basically was just two of the movies turned into a season, that still felt like 2 episodes too long lol. I guess I just expected better.

The stuff with the Russian politics felt even more out of touch with anything remotely realistic to modern times. Just feels like the Russia from the late 90s, even though they are referencing modern day troop movements and NATO lines.

Yeah, I don't get why these needed to be TV shows. Probably could have done film series with each of these and they'd have like 10 films by now. I guess it's "cheaper" this way and you can stretch the content out.

And even before Ukraine this would have felt quaint, but now it just seems so irrelevant. lol

Someone made a thread for the show and I said there that they should just lean into the final Tom Clancy books and do China, but no one wants to make them villains.


Also, I found the clip of Rogue Heroes using The Game. Of course someone would have clipped it because it's so weird. lol
