yeah, it was cancelled back in early May by Fox, though Tom Ellis himself along with the showrunners are talking to and targeting streaming services (rather than another network) and apparently Netflix asked for some production details but seems that's just more standard practice (probably especially since they already have what a season four would look like planned out) though does mean they didn't immediately reject the idea

and Fox announced they're going to air the two "standalone" episodes that were shot but held back to fill schedule gaps in a potential season four (they did this last season, four were shot during season two's cycle but held back for season three with some minor reshoots done...originally in part because Maze's actress got pregnant), they initially weren't going to air them, just stick them in the season packages, etc. but changed their mind this week to air them both next week

i don't really expect it to get picked up but it getting away from a network procedural demand to become tighter plotted/better serialized would be kinda cool even if only for a wrap up season (of half-size versus network season sizes) or two

i really should also learn my lesson about shows starring the devil...first Reaper ends on a cliffhanger, now this!

I like Rick and Morty.  It is a poor man's Futurama but think of how good Futurama was which never was able to gain a massive audience.

Make it a bit stupider and you got Rick and Morty, massive success.

fair enough, and i should say that i definitely didn't think it was awful but the way people rant about it you'd think it was as good as futurama or harvey birdman attorney at law. i guess i went in with unrealistically high expectations

I think it's being split up.

Also the reviews seem to say it's in between s1-3 and s4.

I like you didn't hate s4, and in fact it has some of the best payoffs/gags in the series. But it was super uneven. I'm more split on s4 Remix - it's more similar to what I like about the series, and has less stretches of dead times between laughs, but the payoffs in the back-half aren't nearly as good as the original cut.

In the end, I'm just glad we have two more seasons of AD, and that this revival has turned out better than Family Guy's and Futurama's.

Halfway through Season 2 of Westworld what I'll say is that like a lot of television it feels like a show that was sold on a killer premise of a first season and the writers maybe don't have as many interesting ideas of how to extend something like this season after season as you would have hoped.

Which is not to say that I think its a bad show, or anything remotely like that. Just that the mystery this season is far less interesting to me than the mysteries of the first season. The first season was compelling because you felt like you had to know the story behind a handful of super important secrets. The secrets this season are far less enticing so to cover for that you would need to tell just a really good story where it doesn't really matter if its about mysteries or not.


We'll see what the second half of the season brings.

Second half of the season will have direct recreations of The Hidden Fortress but Tahei and Matashichi will be actual androids and one of the humans will make note of the irony as the Star Wars theme plays on a koto.

Good for you that Adult Swim is releasing a new season of Harvey Birdman then.

I'm also excited.

Despite it's downturn it's still a decent and entertaining show.

The cast is “back together” relatively early, which means the phrase “Whole Episode About George Senior” need never be uttered ever again. But the cure is worse than the disease. Some subplots take forever. People keep going to Mexico, then coming back from Mexico, then going back to Mexico again.

I mean they already lampooned this in season 2, so I don't see this as an issue lol. They go back to Mexico like three times in one episode.

The back and forth dynamic between them is the heart and soul of the show. I have nothing bad to say about Truth Detective Season 1.

Just stop after the first season and pretend the second doesn't exist.

I was fine with all the monologues until the last one, which felt really out of place.

Then I read that the writers came up with that monologue first and wrote the show to get there, and it all made sense.

dude, what? if you don't like his monologues how can you like the show?

The Handmaid's Tale S02e06

Finally something good happens this season! The show was starting to get annoying, it's been nothing but anguish and on the nose liberal talking points. Now we got somewhere.

why is Thomas Janes' character obsessed with this bitch he never met? I'm halfway through season 2 of the Expanse  and he's still hung up on this dead bitch. Did i miss something ? Or are they simply pandering to weirdo nerds that obsess over women that never knew they existed?

He wants to find her cause his life is shit and he's got nothing else to focus on. It's like when doctors fall in love with their patients because they get too emotionally invested in trying to save them. It's more like he's obsessed with the quest of solving her disappearance than obsessed with her specifically though.

westworld is garbage and continues to get worse every week.   the presentation tries to trick you into thinking it's some sophisticated commentary on the nature of consciousness and the implications of giving robots morality, but it quickly reveals itself to be about as deep as a fourteen year olds book report on Do Android Dream Of Electric Sheep. jonathan nolan is a hack
