It got renewed? I thought it was considered a "limited series"?
Limited series doesn't really have a defined meaning. It's just a vague thing networks say
I mean, if you think about, isn't every television show a limited series? They all end at some point.
When I hear it, I think of something like Chernobyl, where it's a short one-season series, that goes to tell a full story, and they're done. At least, every other series I've watched with that title, did wrap up and end within that 1 season.
"We think it's award-worthy, but will flop."
Bringing back S1 characters is interesting. Wonder if it'll be a cameo situation to just be like "See? Still on their bullshit."
Exactly. Like The Queen's Gambit, Brand New Cherry Flavor, Maniac, Band of Brothers, etc. That's what I understand when they say limited series or miniseries.
If I remember correctly The White Lotus was supposed to be a limited series, but with its success they decided to continue with a somewhat unrelated second season, transforming it into an anthology show.
Never forget that Watchmen was a limited series but HBO still tried to bring it back for another season but Lindelof didn't bite. Every limited series is only so unless networks think they can make money if it keeps going.
That's kind of what I figured, and I don't mind. It's one of those stories that COULD continue, at least as an anthology. I didn't check it out until after it ended and a friend was over and wanted to re-watch it, and I remembered all the chatter when it ended on here. I'm def down for more, though.
Ok, I thought I remember hearing something about a potential S2 for that (series is still on my backlog...) but glad that creators like that will end it when it's over. Would be nice if some shows didn't overstay their welcome, and ended when it was proper to do so.

‘Generation’ Canceled By HBO Max After One Season
HBO Max has opted not to order a second season of the Lena Dunham-produced dramedy series Generation (official title style Genera+ion).

Never saw this show as I'm likely too old for it (34 years old). Plus, the trailer and promos looked pretentious as hell.‘Generation’ Canceled By HBO Max After One Season

How was it?
I know some people liked it, but I personally couldn't get past 1 or 2 episodes.
And I say that as someone who absolutely loves Euphoria.

The hope that their story will breakthrough and last multiple seasons perhaps. La Brea doesn't appear to be hard sci-fi, more survival aspects so maybe they think it reaches a bigger audience than something like Debris (gone too soon :( ).
It is like a dramatic Land of the Lost crossed with plain old LOST and I am definitely here for it.
Here is hoping people give it a chance.
The Outpost Cancelled After 4 Seasons; Series Finale to Air in October
Talon's journey is coming to an end on The CW with the series finale of 'The Outpost,' airing Thursday, Oct. 7 at 9/8c.

Seriously, I think La Brea might just be Land of the Lost.
The setting, of course.
The signs of other humans having been here, some notably from the past.
The handprints, particularly how there seems to be two different types.
Potential timey-wimey-ness.
Was that a Pylon at the end?

Never have watched it, but have always intended to. As long as it gets the finish (story arc) as originally designed, I would like to go through it.
But I'm guessing as since the current season is airing, it probably will end abruptly. Too bad it couldn't have at least been renewed for one final season.

when the series returns, it won't be a simultaneous premiere:
Seriously.
Looks like a fun show, but what is even the point in getting excited for it. Not going to get into it unless I know it's at least getting a second season.
I saw a commercial for it, and almost weeped. Damn why even try

Nice! I knew they were doing a Nightmare ep, and some were wondering if they would do another holiday-based one, and guess they kinda are!
‘How To With John Wilson’: HBO Sets Premiere Date For Comedy Series’ Second Season
On Thursday, HBO announced a Season 2 premiere date for its singular docu-comedy, 'How To With John Wilson.'

November 26th.
I remember nothing from the first season. More than 2 years between seasons is too much.
Thanks, I hate it. I would have preferred more things like Quantum Break where there's a TV show happening while you play and y'all intersect here and there.

I personally thought it was boring and I also didn't buy Oscar Isaac or Jessica Chastain either as their characters or as a couple. The BTS set up makes me think that maybe it's intentional though...?
It's definitely a strange setup. I also didn't really buy them as a couple...but I think that adds to the relationship issues they are having. I have no idea where the show is going and no knowledge of the original source though. I just liked the actual script/content
Very interesting.

Netflix sued by chess icon over a line in The Queen's Gambit
Netflix has been decked by a $5 million lawsuit for defamation involving one line in the finale of The Queen’s Gambit. The suit has been filed by chess extraordinaire Nona Gaprindashvili, who claims Netflix knowingly said falsehoods about her in the show.

hard disagree. The show really hit its stride in season two. Miles better than the first which I saw having loved it. Although season three hasn't really popped off yet this most recent episode was fantastic and I think it'll hit its stride again over the next couple episodes
HBO set to have a big October
I mean it's all the family so I get why others were left off. Best show on TV can't wait for the return
Had no idea they'd even renewed for season 3 already. Pretty excited for season 2. I hope they lean more into the keys though. There was some pretty cool conceits they could have explored with them but didn't much. Fun show regardless though
Fucking HBO man, they just can't do anything wrong lately lol. I'm very curious to see how White incorporates previous guests into the new season. I fully expect it to work beautifully however he does it
Hell yes, been waiting for this. S1 finale was pretty crazy, hope they follow it up.
