Good. Maybe the second season of Perry Mason will actually be worthwhile. That also seems like a good sign for The Knick's return under Barry Jenkins.

I have to assume a third season for The Knick is all but confirmed at this point. Though this news could mean that they may be too busy with Perry Mason, and not have the time for The Knick.

The Knick was pretty much only noteworthy because of Soderbro, so not sure if this is an upgrade for Perry Mason. Wonder why the og showrunners left?

This really is a tragedy!

The season 2 finale released today, and it made me literally jump out of my seat at least five times. I was alternating between laughing in excitement and crying throughout all of it. At the end I was bawling my eyes out.

This truly is the best episode of TV I've seen in the last few years.

Soderbergh certainly elevated it, but those writers were more than competent, which is much more than I can say for Perry Mason: S1's team. The writing was all over the place in that, and they had no clue what they were trying to say in any of the multiple story threads. The actors were truly underserved at every step.

Someone here mentioned the two were notoriously hard to deal with, and I guess ABC got sick of their shit:

Alec Baldwin/Kelsey Grammer Sitcom Scrapped at ABC, Despite Series Order

ABC has scrapped plans for a sitcom starring Alec Baldwin and Kelsey Grammer, reversing a previous straight-to-series order — get details.
tvline.com tvline.com

seems like it had to be really truly garbage for execs to scrap it after the pilot was filmed.

Season one was very dark. Several of my friends were turned off by that. Maybe HBO wants something a little more balanced?

Yeah, they sure liked showing that dead baby a lot...

The writing in The Knick was a better kind of decent than Perry Mason's, but still just decent imo.

I think so too. Maybe they'll work better within a noir-ish framework though.

Hoping they can get Baldwin on Mr. Mayor, could do an interesting NY vs LA thing with him and Ted Danson. I'm sure he regrets turning it down initially for this scrapped sitcom now.

Yep, I"m a sucker for small time murder mysteries where everyone has dark secrets. And they are really nailing the small time feel.

I do feel like they are setting up a too obvious twists though:
both the Priest and the ex-Husband with their awkward "uh, I didn't really know her well..." seemed super clear red flags that they are involved but at least they didn't beat around the bush on putting the ex into play.

I suspect by the end of it the entire town will have been a suspect at one point or another.

Yeah. Haven't watched yesterday's episode but based on the first I love it. I was worried the personal drama wouldn't be to my taste but between Kate's fantastic acting and the writing I'm finding it's just as enjoyable. Good stuff and I hope it continues

The Nevers isn't great, but it did feature one of the most creative fights I've seen on TV last night. Hadn't seen anything quite like it before.

I have zero interest in watching award shows like the Oscars. Too much bullshit I wish I could just skip so I skip the whole thing and just look at the winners list and any funny highlights like Glenn Close's dance after it's over.

The funny thing is that I actually enjoyed watching what little I did because there was very little bullshit this year. Well, other than swapping the order of the awards. lol

They should learn from Anime and Video Game award shows. Pair these shows with World Premiere Trailers or clips of shows as well as book more performers who will debut *new music*. Refocus it into a major advertising opportunity. I don't think us millennials and the other generation actually care about the awards (which we can just read about on twitter or wikipedia).

Or

hashtag game changer

Make the voting, the awards, and the show live (open to all). Make it an experience that can only be done live and in no other format

Sunday night's ratings. The 93rd Academy Awards on ABC attracted an average of 8.37 total million viewers, with an average of 1.7 in the 18-49 demographic (these ratings are based on the hours of 8-11PM EST and not any overtime), hitting a new low compared to last year (23.64 total million viewers, with a 5.3 in the 18-49 demo).

Showbuzzdaily said that the preliminary ratings don't include some of the West Coast numbers but since TheNatureBoy already posted the Tweet with the Oscars ratings and that the West Coast numbers will not likely provide a big bump, it's safe to assume that these are pretty much the results:
