2020-21 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Everything's Not Gonna Be Okay for Punky, Betty, Dickinson, or Sarah
- Thread starter mreddie
- Start date
- Entertainment OT
I don't think any metrics exist under which The Duchess was anything but a flop. The reviews were awful, I've seen very few people talk about it, and until it was cancelled I don't think I've seen anyone say a positive word about it.
TBH I haven't seen it and I assume they gave her a show based on the strength of her specials. Surprised it was a critical flop though.
And they thought they were ending it in season 5 and didn't find out until writing the last episode, so S6 might end up more like a long epilogue lol
Yeah, I'm curious if they tried to redo the S5 finale to have something for S6 or just maybe they went full wacky with it and S6 is set in heaven or something. lol
The Duchess's Last Kingdom falls?
‘The Last Kingdom’ to End With Season 5 on Netflix
"The Last Kingdom" will end with its upcoming Season 5 on Netflix.variety.com
Dammit, they only needed one (bit longer) season to cover the final three books. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why stop short when you're practically at the finish line - this is The Borgias all over again 😫
Also, season 5 will be the third season that Netflix has produced all by themselves, so the 3 season curse strikes again!
its like dealing with cable subscribers losing local stations, sad that streaming tv is just the same as cable

Taika Waititi To Star In HBO Max Period Comedy Series ‘Our Flag Means Death’
Oscar winner Taika Waititi is taking on yet another role in the HBO Max period comedy Our Flag Means Death.

Don't most TV shows have mandatory raises for the entire cast and crew when going beyond 5 seasons? I suspect that's what is playing a role here. Budget was probably going to get too high with S6.
Will watch anything with Taika. I'll be there day 1.Taika Waititi To Star In HBO Max Period Comedy Series ‘Our Flag Means Death’

Young Rock has been solid. Not the funniest comedy and it really does work as promo for a potential Rock Presidential run, but I do like the actors in his family.

Didn't even realized this was switching over until Price is Right at Night said it the other night. (premieres may)
It's gotten better with time I feel, the last two or three episodes especially I have really enjoyed. Though I hope Season 2 adds a timeline from his Rocky Mavia/Nation of Domination days in WWF.
Yeah, we're a couple of episodes behind I think, but I was just commenting yesterday that there's so much emphasis on football even though that's not ultimately what he was known for.
Donald Glover announces Atlanta S3 is probably coming early 2022:

Vincenzo sounds wild. Another Netflix series I've never heard of. May watch an ep or two tonight.
Fun fact this was filmed near me and I even received a letter in my mailbox from the production team to use my house.
Thanks Netflix for telling me a TV show will have surprises.
Saw a Twitter thread about a 'new show from the creators of Dark'. I *thought* that was Tribes of Europa, but I've never heard a peep about that show. Was it a big fat 'Meh'?

‘Emily In Paris’ Starts Production On Season 2 As Netflix Reveals Lily Collins Series Was Streamer’s Most Popular Comedy In 2020
Emily is heading back to Paris and St Tropez and other locations across France after Emily In Paris started production on season two. This comes as Netflix revealed that the Lily Collins-fronted comedy was the streamer’s most popular comedy series of 2020. The show was watched by 58M households...

I had some interest in it before release, but all the reviews I saw had it being average at best and a setup for a potential 2nd season so I never bothered checking it out. I think the Dark creators were just producers on that show.
I'm glad The CW isn't focused on linear ratings and that Legends is already renewed for a Season 7, because otherwise I would be worried.
I might check out more of the show, if it makes the move.

I thought Kung-Fu had already been renewed?
Either way, glad to hear it, especially for Stargirl as I really enjoyed the first season.

The Duchess was a weird one for me. My partner liked it, I've liked one or two of the main character's specials, and I like plenty of "funny asshole main character" shows (It's Always Sunny, House MD, Catastrophe, etc.), but The Duchess just didn't work for me much at all. The main character just bugged me, like very few of the people she was a dick to seemed to actually deserve it, what I remember most about it is just feeling bad for everyone she interacted with except for her Ex who was a fun foil for her.
I think it leaned to far into Drama rather than Comedy to really work with a character as over the top as she is. Those things can blend together well in other shows, but this one just kinda failed at both for me.
Sometimes a person's routine doesn't really translate into a show, and it could be that her acerbic comedy doesn't quite lend itself to dramatization.
Honestly though if she made a show about shitty on Sarnia, I probably would have watched that. lol
I'm still a little curious to watch it though...
Mayans renewed for S4.

After not finishing SoA I never bothered with this.

Of course, but still good to hear.
This is by far the best season of the show. It still hasn't reached the highs of SOA, but it's never been anywhere near the lows of it either.
