Does Peacock run on Amazon devices yet? I would honestly just settle for that.

I went through the hassle of doing that a few weeks ago and thought "cool, maybe I'll watch some more Peacock and even subscribe" and then it stopped working a couple of weeks later and I have to update something or do it again or I don't know but I don't care because its just Peacock.

I don't hate Panic so far, but it's got maybe the worst 35y/o posing as a high school senior ever. I don't know how old the actor actually is but drat if he doesn't look at least that old to me.

Been wondering this for awhile- what are the most elaborate lengths shows have gone to to conceal casting info for upcoming special/surprise appearances, like when a character unexpectedly comes back from the dead or something? I’ve heard of hiding casting info by using fake names or whatever but there has to be weirder poo poo than that.

The one I remember the most is Starbuck on Battlestar but there is probably better examples.

I thought he was the best thing about the show, which might explain why they cast someone so obviously older. I just couldn't get into the show tbh. I made it about two episodes and gave up.

Oh dang it does kind of look like him, so maybe. I had no idea Nicholson had a son who was an actor. And yeah I'm not super invested in this but I have a hard time dropping shows unless something better comes along and nothing has in the last 4 or 5 hours, so here I am on episode 5. It's really not terrible though. It's not great by any means, but some of the performances are decent and the writing isn't completely awful.

Not the rights, they bought Millarworld. It's theirs so eventually we'll see lovely adaptations of all this books.

Netflix probably just looked at how many copies he sold of his Millarworld titles, and didn’t consider that that was years ago and that his writing style hasn’t aged well.

They wanted a super hero universe of their own but nobody told them that most of his books are self contained and don't crossover.

Speaking of wasteful I found out Amazon had a show last year that looks like some epic Michael Mann international drug cartel type deal and I swear there was no marketing budget for it at all. I never even heard of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HoRfUKcvdY

They probably didn’t promote it much because it’s an Italian import rather than an actual original. But then I barely saw any Underground Railroad promotion either so who the gently caress knows what they’re doing

I never even heard of it. C'mon Mu, I thought better of you. It's been talked about a bit and has made several people's top 10 lists (mine included). But yeah, it's written by the Gommorah guy and made by the same people. It's really good.

Xena was pretty good. Spartacus too. They're straight up from that tradition, carried through New Zealand action series.

I'm a big fan of the Raimi-produced stuff and it very is in that vein (though parallel evolution rather than direct inspiration)—but all the direct 90s American tokusatsu riffs are "kids TV" rather than "all ages TV." Most of the Japanese tokusatsu stuff I've watched feels like it's just as easy for adults to enjoy it as kids, but going back and watching Big Bad Beetleborgs or whatever is just painful. Though in all fairness, most of the Japanese stuff I've seen is from the 60s-80s so there could have been a similar tonal shift in Japan, too.

I was thinking of the way NZ has always supplied the daily life and American actor parts of Power Rangers. But I don't really know enough about all that tbh.

I’ve heard of hiding casting info by using fake names or whatever but there has to be weirder poo poo than that. George Clooney's cameo at the end of Season 6 of ER, Julianna Margulies' final episode, was under a strict veil of secrecy: quote:“We knew we wanted to get them together at the end, but we wanted it to be a complete surprise,” Wells tells EW. “So I convinced Warner Bros. to give us a private jet and talked to George, and we flew up to Seattle with a very small crew that all signed pledges that they wouldn’t tell anybody.” Similarly, when Clooney and Margulies returned in the final season of ER, they were on a closed set with only a skeleton crew allowed.

My gut reaction is that this gonna be bad. But it could just be the trailer doing it a disservice. The visuals look alright. Almost thought I was looking at Brock Samson.

https://twitter.com/nkjemisin/status/1400907978140684297 This was originally going to be a TV series on TNT but it looks like that option has expired. If the movies end up actually happening it will be kind of a big deal because this is a big sprawling fantasy epic where almost every character is a poc. There's like literally one white guy in the entire series.
