Evil Season Two.

Wtf,

That first link to tvline says posted:

Released as part of its New York Comic Con panel on Saturday — before any actual Season 2 footage has been shot — the trailer above finds cast members Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Christine Lahti and Kurt Fuller acting out moments that may or may not actually be from an upcoming episode, which may or may not revolve around Leland’s marriage to Kristen’s mother, Sheryl.

So yeah, wtf, but now I'm disappointed its maybe not legit spoilers for the new season.

Phil Hartman was fantastic but I don’t think he carried NewsRadio; the entire cast was great. It’s more that his death took the wind out of their sails.

Similar to Harry Goz on Sealab.

Evil rules. I wish it had the space in season 1 to tell the stories it wanted to tell, i.e. the mom, but it's really really good.

Dear Goons:

Will I like Bly Manor if I didn't like Hill House?

I'm not worried about character based material, but I found the character stuff insipid and undramatic in the other season, but I'm hoping it's just the characters.

I prefer Bly to Hill House as the characters are less abrasive/argumentative. The kids are a bit too precocious though.

Same sort of ghostly poo poo tho.

The last episode pivoted from spooky to ‘Why can’t these lesbians be happy, why!? :cry:

If you haven’t seen it yet I really have to recommend it. That was like the ninth episode and I started watching it this afternoon, if that puts how addictive it is into context.

The biggest joke is that nearly a decade of building up this massive potential franchise [GoT] was all undone in a few episodes so bad that almost everyone wrote the series off as bad and no one is interested in it anymore.

I really don't understand where people get this stuff.

quote:

Game of Thrones ended its record-setting final season with a record-setting finale in the ratings. The HBO megahit drew 13.6 million viewers for its initial airing of the series finale Sunday night. Adding in replays and early streaming, that figure climbs to 19.3 million. Both figures are records not just for Game of Thrones, but for HBO's entire history.

HBO’s Game of Thrones: The Complete Eighth Season topped the NPD VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks combined DVD and Blu-ray Disc Unit sales, and the dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart the week ended Dec. 7.

Game of Thrones estimated home video sales: Season 8: $47m.

Game of Thrones roared at the Emmys one last time. The HBO fantasy sensation has won the award for Outstanding Drama Series for its eighth and final season.

A new Game of Thrones prequel series has been ordered by HBO, the home of the original fantasy epic. House of the Dragon, which is based on George RR Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, has been ordered as a full series at the network just hours after news broke that HBO decided not to pick up another prequel series starring Naomi Watts.

Game of Thrones ended on a massive ratings high, was then showered by industry praise in the form of Emmys, then proceeded to sell a lot of dvds and blu-rays, and now the studio that made it has fully greenlit a new GoT series. Where is the evidence that "no one is interested in it anymore"? That people online love to complain about it?

This just isn't how any of this works. Star Wars had a widely reviled prequel trilogy that was released over years, and then the next new Star Wars movie became the highest grossing film in U.S. history. A bad finale or bad movie or even bad series is unlikely to destroy any franchise. If anything, the fact that people still can't shut up about the ending is evidence that the standard love-hate relationship that franchises develop with their devotees has been well and truly established, and they'll come back for more pain.

Yes, I remember them. They are mentioned right there in my post that you're quoting. House of the Dragon was given a full series order. Paddy Considine was just announced as one of the cast members on Monday. In Late September, they said it's on track to be released in 2022.

There was a different show, the Naomi Watts one set in the very distant past. They filmed a pilot for that, but HBO were apparently not happy with it, and signed the deal to make this new House of the Dragon series shortly before announcing they wouldn't do the other one.

Basically at no point has HBO stopped developing the franchise.

I had typed out a list of thoughts on Fargo, but by the end of episode 3 I think I can sum up this season:

Fargo is up its own rear end.

Not one bit of it feels natural.

This show has always been up its own rear end from the first "This is a true story" card which is utter bullshit. I came into episode 3 ready to delete the series off my DVR until

While I agree with this sentiment in general, I would amend the statement with the qualifier that Timothy Olyphant playing a loquacious US Marshal who only hears what he wants feels natural as hell.

They weren't planning on making six different GoT spinoffs, the process from idea to a full season of tv is long, and most concepts die long before they even shoot a single second of footage.

Nobody in charge cares what a few hundred people on the internet think, they care how costly a spinoff is to shoot, and how likely it is to be successful.

Yee, I was always under the impression they pitched so many spinoffs to guarantee at least one of them getting greenlit. We were never going to have more than one or maybe two spinoffs post GoT. Depending on how well the spinoff does will decide if there's more after.

I think Masked Singer is doing that. Dancing with the Stars has a laugh/clap/boo track, but doesn't show video.

Can you imagine being the producer in charge of that button? What if you just don't get a joke? Or if something was serious and you accidentally press applause?
