The already murky future for CBS just got a lot murkier:
Leslie Moonves Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Ronan Farrow Exposé
Leslie Moonves Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Ronan Farrow Exposé
Moonves is CBS for all intents and purposes, there is no heir apparent either.
Finally. :)
Not sure about the replacement actor, his acting was pretty bland in the Marvel films if I remember correctly. Season 1 already suffered from poor acting from the female lead, let's hope they won't make the same mistake again.

Saw a blind about Moonves a few months ago predicting this. Knew this was coming.
Damn, that Moonves news is huge.
I guess that means the chances of a Viacom merger skyrocket.

OMFG
I always thought Altered Carbon (which I more or less enjoyed) would be renewed...

I know, rite?
Same, Netflix spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money on it to not renew it. That they're bringing in a new showrunner does indicate that they know shit didn't quite connect.
But let's celebrate with honoring the epic battle from the previous show from the Altered Carbon showrunner

I... I actually watched this show. (not religiously mind you)
But like that scene has been in my brain for ~years~. I watched that scene when it aired for the first time (in Sweden). Between it and Cleopatra 2525, it cemented my joy for glorious trash.

You don't. (it's not very good)
Instead watch:
Patrick Melrose
Rectify
Mad Men
The Honourable Woman
Le Bureau des Légendes (The Bureau)
or like the literally hundreds of shows that are genuinely good. Sure it looks pretty but the writing is so not up to snuff.

... huh.
I love the film, and I get how it could work as a show. But you know, huh.
pls, like you need that social life anyway,

Look u fuck. TNT are being dicks in my region so it's not available through any OTT.I'll watch all of those shows as soon as y'all watch Claws.
also RatskyWatsky is my proxy for Claws. He'll vouch for the shows listed.
The first season frankly sucked apart from the great concept and high production values.
Thankfully, because of the source material, this season is basically a reboot where the only thing remaining are those two things. Completely new cast of characters, main lead a different actor, basically new/different subgenre (more Action-y vs detective-y) -- they even have a new showrunner and creative team. So this can more or less be treated as an all new show, which is great. At least the potential is there.
Source? If this is going by the source material (I've only read the original book), I don't see any confirmation that the new season will be based on the second or third Kovacs novels.
First season was flawed but a lot of fun. I wouldn't have been heartrbroken if it didn't get renewed, given that season 1 was mostly self-contained, but I'm happy to see it finally confirmed after way too long in limbo.
I'm assuming season 2 will be based on book 2, which had him in a black body. Hence Anthony Mackie.
Someone tell John Stankey that Adult Swim needs a new creative director and for them to finally air Black Jesus season 3 after 3 years.
Ratsky introducing articles of impeachment for you in 3...
I've never watched Claws. Too many shows.

Yeah, this does not paint a nice picture of the culture at CBS or Moonves. Very trepidatious about what will happen to CBS since anyone getting absorbed by Viacom/Redstones isn't exactly an enticing prospect as a consumer.
With no heir apparent, and some really fucking deep seated corporate culture issues, CBS is in a tough spot.
Why is it so hard for men to not be dicks and abuse their power? sigh
I would assume it's bad people promoting other bad people who share their views in a cycle.
These people are right.
This person is not.
Claws is 10/10. Insanely funny, a must-watch.
Unfortunately it seems like season 2 will not really follow book 2 at all. Season 1 followed book 1 like... 70%, the good bits were in the book the bad bits were all new made up stuff. I'll definitely watch season 2 because I love the vibe, characters, setting, ideas, etc but I am expecting a pile of grey goo.
I do wonder though why it took so long to announce renewal and if it means anything to the budget, etc.
Is Hope a character on the show? lol
According to wiki, no, but the town When Calls the Heart takes place in is Hope Valley.
