Hopefully it gets picked up. Netflix would be my first choice.

Do you like superheroes? Check out my CYOA Mutants: Uprising

How about weird historical fiction? Try Vampires of the Caribbean

I feel like when a show gets strung along like this and just finally cancelled at the last minute it means that we missed out on renewal by a hairsbreadth. Like they kept looking for ways to make it work, make it just profitable enough, and just couldn't.

Either that or NBC just loves stringing people along. We know the break up is coming, you don't have to keep pretending everything is still okay!

Stephen Amell tweeted that if anyone takes the show, he'll guest star. Hopefully someone ends up picking this up.

So since I'm never gonna know for sure now, do comic book nerds think the show was adapting the same story from the movie, where an angel is jealous of humanity and decides to unleash hell on earth so that what survives of humanity will be worthy of god's love? I would have loved to have seen this show's take on the devil, if it had a resolution similar to the movie. Also, is that story different from the John gets cancer story in the comics, and the movie just put them together?

For what is worth, Joseph Morgan and William Shatner have also said they would guest star if the show is picked up

I'm curious if their deal with Marvel would prevent them from developing any DC related shows.

They paid an arm and a leg for the streaming rights to Gotham, I'm sure they can air whatever they want.

The network fumbled that show as hard as it could in an almost deliberate effort to sandbag it. It was expensive, a sci-fi show, and had semi-big name actors who were costly.

All in all, it was a great short series that ended really well and never squandered its potential.

What a neutered attempt at this character. Towards the end the leash had a little slack on it, but man what a gently caress-up. DC really needs to up their TV game... maybe take some hints from Daredevil. Ryan was very watchable as John, I think, and I hope they do like a Dark Justice League take with him in it but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think the crowning moment of the show was the TV dinner at the wake.

I don't know. The whole thing sounds like a parody of a TV show more than a TV show.

Chloe Dancer is an LAPD Detective
Lucifer is the Devil, Lord of Hell and Prince of Darkness.

Together, they fight crime.

I mean, WTF in a bad way.

This is for the best since renewing Constantine would also mean more Zed.
