I imagine she's done, too, tbh. Especially depending how this season ends. But I've thought all three of them have been done with it several times so I'm always leaving the possibility open she may change her mind. But I doubt we get another season with all three of them. Maaaaybe a movie. If the show comes back it'll probably be FOX rebooting or doing a spinoff.

I've tried PoI a couple times but even the promise of Sarah Shahi and Amy Acker couldn't get me through it. I can concede it prob gets good but I have too many shows to watch to waste time on a procedural that eventually picks up steam.

Is Goliath getting a second season? It wasn't an amazing show but Billy Bob was good and I require more Olivia Thirlby Being In Things.

spudsbuckley posted:The first episode of the new season of American Crime Story was pretty good. The first season was really great so i have high hopes for this one. A lot of it often depends on just how much a hand he has in the writing of any given show. AHS: Asylum, for instance, had the least direct involvement from Murphy of all the seasons iirc and is thought of by most to be the best of the bunch. It also depends on how many shows he's stretched thin across, and he's been doing a lot lately and most of his properties have been coming out good. It helps he has a super solid stable of actors and actresses from AHS/etc that he's been working with lately who will produce good performances even when the material is a little weak. Crime Story: Versace iirc has one person writing every episode, and that person isn't Murphy. Murphy didn't write any of People vs. OJ either and that show was loving excellent. He's a great ideas man but imo does his best work when someone else handles the story and he handles directing and working with the cast. Forgot Versace started already! Excited to check out the premiere tonight.

Looten Plunder posted:Are you sure you wouldn't just get super angry and offended at all the things they get wrong? Depends on who Murphy gets to write it, wouldn't it? I mean if he writes it himself it'd prob be a trainwreck, yeah. But the pattern so far is Murphy only directing and showrunning while someone else handles the scripts.

STAC Goat posted:OP's talking about The Avengers, which in fairness is legit old and way less common in reruns when I was a kid (and I'm kind of old). Still, I caught some episodes alongside Adam West Batman and Green Hornet episodes some weekends. Enough to know who Steed and Mrs. Peel are. And there was a bad movie in the 90s. But it was more of kind of show my dad watched when he was a kid than one I caught on Nick at Nite or something. Probably depends on where you lived. As a Canada I watched a shitton of The Avengers growing up. Also The Saint, which has a terrifically terrible reboot pilot turned terrible movie on Netflix. I think Eliza Dushku was in it.

raditts posted:I remember seeing that piece of poo poo Saint movie when it was in theaters, my brother wanted to go see it. I think I watched maybe half of it and had to stop, it was so bad Dushku couldn't get me to finish it. Shame, too. I remember the last The Saint movie they made being decent. Probably doesn't help this recent one was supposed to be a pilot, but it was bad even without taking that into consideration.

Lurdiak posted:I don't feel good talking poo poo about someone who recently came out with a story about abuse, but Eliza Dushku's entire acting range is furrowing her brow. Hell, even she seems to admit she's best at playing Faith/Missy types. She's got barely any range but the role she does play well she plays p drat well, at least.

iirc it only got made because Dushku had a series pending on her 2 show contract for FOX (the other being Tru Calling). So it was a passion project for her and Whedon together. Still think someone else should have played Echo, but the supporting cast more than made up for her.

precision posted:it seems like women get called out for being one-note more often than men do. i mean chris pratt is the same in every role. i don't have any strong feelings for dushku one way or t'other but i don't think being one-note is a de facto crime against media Me neither, or I wouldn't love her so much despite her shortcomings in some roles. And yeah Pratt is typecast af. I don't know if I can call him one note til I see him attempting a different type of role tho. Does he have any dramatic stuff under his belt to look at, anyway?

Heathers is v much a product of its time despite a lot of the story remaining universal.

Maxwell Lord posted:I think the problem is that it's still acting like the gays and trans kids are the "cool" group now when really, they're still most often the ones bullied. It's buying into the logic that things went topsy turvy and the oppressed are now the oppressors, when in fact the old status quo still persists. That's the right wing fantasy, and I don't think emphasizing that JD is really a bad guy (as he was in the original) changes that. fwiw, being the queen bee is 100% a high school power fantasy for plenty of women, gay men and queer folk. Not all of us obvs, but calling it a right wing fantasy is silly to me. The Heathers show still looks bad. I'll check the pilot out once they figure out when the rest of it is airing.

I'm finally catching up on ACS: Versace and this is real drat good. I hope Darren Criss goes on to big things, which is something I never thought I would have said when I only really had his Glee work for reference. He was fine enough there, but Blaine was so one-note and that show was a mess 90% of the time anyway. Really enjoying Cruz as Donatella, as well.

That show had so much potential, but by the time I got to the last episode I never ever wanted to see another episode of JJ again. It is a bad show. Yeah, same.

HorseRenoir posted:Jessica Jones was so bad I couldn't even finish the first season. There are interesting ideas and a good cast, but the writing is awful and it's horribly paced. JJ is one of those shows where they only had enough story for a short arc or a movie, so they have to keep artificially extending the story by having everyone act like idiots. JJ would have been much better if the Killgrave stuff were condensed to the second half of the season and they spent the first half letting you settle in with the cast instead of immediately going full bore with the "this is a serious show about rape for adults" thing I would have loved for the first half of JJ to be Jessica doing sleuth work as we get to know her and Trish, etc. Slowly tie her case(s) into the Killgrave stuff instead of going straight into it and dragging it out all season. Either that or have SOMETHING else for Killgrave to do other than keep getting away b/c it takes Jessica six episodes to realize maybe the collateral damage isn't worth avoiding the guilt of just killing him already. I also would have loved for JJ to be played by someone else, but eh. Ritter is great for most of it, I just don't buy it when she tries to sell vulnerable and dramatic stuff. She's great at the sarcastic, drunk rear end in a top hat stuff tho.
