TV in July 2018 - What are you watching?

That The First teaser did absolutely nothing for me. Vague monologue about "big things" combined with space stuff is well trodden ground. That House of Cards came crashing down harder than [insert whatever space disaster you're ethically fine with joking about] after its first season and I just can't muster any excitement for it. Also Seann Penn is a dick.
Now there was a trailer for a Hulu original that did get me excited:
It's about a time-travelling ballerina. I repeat, a time-travelling ballerina. It also has the best damn tagline: "No matter where she travels in time, she's always on pointe".

Anyone watching Strange Angel? I just started. Great looking show. Music by Daniel Hart (A Ghost Story). I wish Agent Carter had this kind of budget.
omg indeed.
When it started, I was sort of like, "Okay, this is a little hokey."
Nah. That was so f-ing adorable at the end, and. the recognition of all the crew too... It was really great.

Teddy was even there! (although I did miss Zoey, Layla, Jeff, and Luke)
It was great. I was very meh about the rest of the finale. They neatly resolved all storylines in 40 minutes, but it had zero emotional impact.

The final season, while I enjoyed it about as much as the previous season, was littered with weird story choices. Like, they have Will experimenting with steroids during the first half of the season because he wants to be a gay god, then he has a heart attack (or whatever), the doctor tells him he has to take it easy, and then...he literally has nothing to do for the back half of the season. Juliette joins a cult, she likes the cult, the show comes back from hiatus and suddenly she hates the cult, she gets out of the cult, announces that she's going to try to take down the cult and then...the series ends with no real resolution to that storyline. Deacon didn't end up with whatshername despite all the buildup, Scarlett's decision to sing again came from nowhere (her engagement to some random guy whom we've never seen before would irk me more if I hadn't read that it was her irl husband. Cute), Alannah got way too much screen time (I hate when shows introduce new main characters in their final season, especially when there's an already large ensemble cast) and really only existed to create tension between Gunnar (who had nothing to do besides pine for her all season) and Avery, etc.
The only storylines that I thought were well done all the way through were the ones relating to Deacon and his father; Maddie; and Daphne.
I can't quite tell from the description what type of show it will be? Is it a love story, thriller, straight drama?

The series is hard to categorize but I'll try. Mostly it's a story about two friends told over decades of personal and political turbulence in Naples, Italy. It touches on organized crime, political violence, and even some thriller-y elements but really it's a story of the city and these two impoverished girls who find their lives go in vastly different directions. To answer your question, a relationship drama?
Sounds pretty interesting! I will definitely keep it in mind when it comes out.
What I find weird is how all the "Hardwick must never work again" posters don't seem to care about Weiner at all, despite the claims against him seemingly being far more credible.
Probably because it's easier to ignore someone behind the camera than someone in front of it.
I've always thought he was a creep. The way he always had a co-writer credit so he could get yet another Emmy. Mad Men fell off hard in its final couple of seasons and was never as good as people thought it was.
He can be gone forever as far as I'm concerned.
