Reading the article, I think this has a good chance of being saved. Netflix just said they want to focus more on sci-fi and this has baked-in fans.

Sadly I'm somewhat part of the problem. I didn't start watching the show until about 6 months ago and I haven't watched any of this season because I wanted to binge-watch the whole thing on the weekend when the season finished.

It's such a kick in the gut to potentially lose such a good show though. I hate the pacing of modern TV. This is the first show that got it right in so long. Slow as fuck. With an actual plotted out plotline where you just aren't randomly writing each season to give viewers random plotline jump scares.




I'll pray one of the streaming services will pick it up but I'm cynical enough and snobby enough to think its too smart and niche for these companies.


I also love the fact that syfy struggles to keep their most acclaimed shit on the air going back to bsg.

fuck syfy but thanks for letting it ride to season 3. The back half of this season is going to be fucking cray cray, and it’s honestly one of the best book to tv show adaptations I’ve ever seen. They’ve been nailing the feel and spirit of the books while bringing some more life to the non POV characters.

I don’t think amazon will be picking this up because they recently got the rights to The Three Body Problem, so I’m really praying Netflix does us a solid.

Kevin Can Wait (CBS)
Okay, so I wanted to talk about this because I saw a commercial for it and Leah Remini is now on it, so it looks like a weird King of Queens semi-sequel series.

But it's BETTER than that based on wikipedia.

Quote
The series began with James starring as a recently retired Nassau County, New York police officer and father of three, married to Donna (Erinn Hayes). Beginning with season two, the character of Donna has died, and the series' new female lead is Vanessa Cellucci (Leah Remini), Kevin's former rival on the force and now his partner at their new security company, Monkey Fist Security.

Quote
The replacement of Erinn Hayes with Leah Remini, and how the show handled Donna Gable's death, has been a source of controversy for the series.[88]. Criticism has been levied especially on the episodes "Civil Ceremony" and "Grief Thief". In the former, which served as the season premiere, criticism was placed on the brief mention of Donna's death, via a piece of mail, and a subsequent joke many found distasteful.[89] The later episode, the season's fifth episode, was panned for its plot that the characters use a single parents support group for getting out of work and their romantic life

Quote
Hayes (who has mostly remained silent over the firing so far) asked fans to not place blame on Remini.

Quote
Despite the controversy surround the revamp, the series' ratings have remained steady. As of December 1, 2017, the series was averaging 8.2 million viewers (with delayed viewing) in the season, competing against more established Top 20 series Dancing with the Stars and The Voice. The series also performs well in the much-coveted 18-49 demographic, ranking as the fifth-highest rated program on CBS in that category.

Also, it's on that dunno list, but rumor is it's renewed. So I'll give a recap that nobody wants. Lucifer's stretch run has been really strong with the heavier myth arc focus. And they let the show be emotionally quite brutal to characters that you don't think would be allowed from a show like this. Especially considering all the heaven/hell talk involved.

At the same time, the humor has really been fine tuned over the three seasons. I mean, this kind of thing is just incredible: Cain has an extensive rock collection. BRILLIANT. And everyone, especially the characters who don't know he's Cain, call it stupid and weird because they aren't like special or fancy rocks. And he gets extremely dejected by their criticism.

It's fun how it's embraced its altered comedic version of the comic's world while keeping the mythology components strong, without getting totally self-serious and losing the grounding like Gotham and becoming farcical nonsense. The fact that it's grown its ensemble, and the characters within it, does a lot for it to where you don't even need Lucifer or even Decker, in every scene or plot. (And it seems like they're ready to stop putting off "the relationship" and instead let the large set of troubles it'll start come.)

Syfy purchased The Expanse in a bid to rebuild its sci-fi image, and relies on live viewer counts as the key ratings metric: bloody ridiculous ::) 
I hope Netflix pick it up like they did with Travellers after Showtime dropped it.

Once again Syfy have proven to be a pack of fucksticks :maf I'm surprised (but glad) 12 Monkeys managed to get a full run.

There really seems to be a lack of TV sci-fi that can balance substance and style. ST: Discovery was ok, but the pacing (tied to shortish season length) and writing did it no favours. To round it off: haven't seen Orville, Westworld is kinda losing me (though, they did do Persons of Interests so way too early to judge if lost cause), and I'm not interested in what ever live-action series Star Wars peddles out.

How slim are these chances of it living on given that it's apparently being shopped around?

The Expanse deserves much better than being spaced.

Your better off just hardening your heart already and just assuming its dead. The revival thing is always a super low roll of the dice kind of thing. It can't hurt to request it here on Netflix if you want to do something.

It has a bunch of rabid fans. You're the first person I've actually seen who dismisses it.

The recent seasons have not been as satisfying as the first few, but standout episodes have been, in contrast, even better than earlier in the series.

Brooklyn Nine Nine grew on me. I was not a super fan of it at first and I can be mixed on Samberg outside of the show but I really become attached to it. The show is a simple throwback workplace comedy but I think its really funny. Everybody on the cast is really good imo.

You and Seagram's have good taste so I'll give it a second shot. The only episode I saw was season 3 ep 20. My opinion at the time was "this is kind of a second rate Angie Tribeca."

“Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt in a statement. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”

It has a bunch of rabid fans. You're the first person I've actually seen who dismisses it.

The recent seasons have not been as satisfying as the first few, but standout episodes have been, in contrast, even better than earlier in the series.
You and Seagram's have good taste so I'll give it a second shot. The only episode I saw was season 3 ep 20. My opinion at the time was "this is kind of a second rate Angie Tribeca."

it has the 'cadence' of a traditional sitcom, but there's a unique, very very goofy sense of humor to it. Also there's a certain 'heart' for lack of a better term that Goor and Schur shows have that's very endearing without being schmaltzy that's worked pretty well for this, Parks and Rec, and The Good Place imo

And don't listen to Scrubs-loving Wrath, who loves Scrubs, cuz he's a...

Nah, Brooklyn 99 is trash.

Not as bad as Last Man Standing, but still.

Get under my desk and get to work.

OK, Tim Allen.

Looking grim for The Expanse.

The guy in charge of props confirmed on facebook that Netflix passed on picking it up due to their current/future roster of sci-fi (lost in space  :doge) and disinterest in resolving the tangled revenue streams (netflix has worldwide streaming rights, amazon has the first 2 seasons on prime in the US). Worse yet, the sets are going to be dismantled and/or sold to Star Trek Discovery (:rofl) if a buyer doesn't show up because Alcon isn't going to continue to pay the obscene costs for storage past the date they allotted for being renewed/finding a buyer. Which is this coming Monday.

After Monday, the need to rebuild the sets adds a significant cost to the amount needed to resurrect the show. Not to mention the people working on the show drifting off to find new work and feed their families. Prop guy is directing people to keep sending messages to Amazon as they have interest and have a shitty lineup, so use the 5 minutes you'd spend browsing reshitera to instead write a small message: https://studios.amazon.com/contact-us.

I sent in a message but I have very little hope.

I'm in between depression and acceptance on my 5 stages of grief.

It's certainly by far the best show I've ever been watching while it was cancelled prematurely.

I mean Firefly was good, Journeyman was good, Farscape was good, etc.

But Expanse is better.
