Between Barris' departure and Anderson's legal issues, Black-ish has its work cut out for continuation.I hope Blackish doesn't end because of this. I feel like next season will be it's last.

have any of these people leaving for the Netflix machine, actually produced hits there yet?
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS.have any of these people leaving for the Netflix machine, actually produced hits there yet?
Shonda has a lot of stuff announced to be coming, so we'll see how that goes.have any of these people leaving for the Netflix machine, actually produced hits there yet?
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS.
They haven't because most of their stuff hasn't been produced yet. Believe it or not, TV takes time to be produced. Everything coming out of Nu-Shondaland and Murphy's studio should be hitting Netflix late this year or early next year.
A female centric supernatural show =/= Buffy do-over. And the dude has had plenty of different ideas from Buffy to a supervillain musical to a sci-fi wild west show and a more contemporary scifi dystopia thing. Even Angel has its own identity as more of a detective noir type of thing that very much separates it from Buffy, even if they understandably aren't completely different due to the connection they share.They should pair it with Confederate.
Lol at the idea of being hyped for a Whedon show in 2020 or whenever HBO gets around to airing it.
edit: Double lol, I just read the excerpt berzeli quoted. Dude you already made Buffy get a new idea.
The show went majorly downhill the last few years and it's kinda just the same old same old. It's really entered that "going on too long" phase.Orange is the New Black S6 came out today and nobody cares apparently, did that show fall of a cliff? It used to be one of Netflix's "biggies" along with House of Cards no?
I don't know how anyone could feel that way given that each of the last few seasons has been a different evolution of the prison system with 4's overcrowding, 5's season long riot and now 6's entirely different location. I think the show is still quite good. But then again, people on "here" (GAF) have been hating on it since season two.The show went majorly downhill the last few years and it's kinda just the same old same old.

I don't think it's just people on here. Anecdotal, but lots of people I interact with IRL who used to watch the show say they "hate-watch" it now. And critics have certainly turned on it the last couple years too.I don't know how anyone could feel that way given that each of the last few seasons has been a different evolution of the prison system with 4's overcrowding, 5's season long riot and now 6's entirely different location.

I'm mainly speaking to your "same old" criticism. I guess yes, its still women in prison, but its far from what it was season one. Any other criticisms I may or may not agree with, but that's the one I was focused on addressing.I don't think it's just people on here. Anecdotal, but lots of people I interact with IRL who used to watch the show say they "hate-watch" it now. And critics have certainly turned on it the last couple years too.
Sure, while the show has played with their formula to prevent staleness, it still hasn't actually prevented staleness because the plots are all very samey. And frankly setting Season 5 over a very short period of time/effectively one story was a bad decision that turned off several people I know from the show entirely.
If you still like the show, great! But it's unsurprising why less people seem to care and there's less general discussion about it. 6 seasons was honestly probably just too much for the concept -- but it's also typically too much for most shows. So I don't see that as a fault intrinsic to OITNB at all.
My fiance and I are watching OITNB it now, about 3-4 episodes in and it's fairly consistent with the last few season IMO, but for me that means it's solid still. Kinda doubt I'd still be watching it still if she wasnt into it still.Orange is the New Black S6 came out today and nobody cares apparently, did that show fall of a cliff?

I just finished season 4 and it's the weirdest combination of it definitely feels like a wrap-up season, but it also feels like what we could have gotten in an alternate universe as season 2 and then the show continued on from there.
Pity that the show is going out this way; this was probably the best season since the first.
Murphy's first project for Netflix is "The Politician", and I believe that should be in principal right now or at least close to it.Murphy has two shows coming to Netflix through Fox that predate his current deal, which I'm not sure have even started production yet, so I'm pretty sure that his stuff is quite a bit further out than that. Rhimes announced her full slate in that NYT article, but they also sound like they're still pretty early in development for now.
Damn, that's one stacked cast and crew.Lin-Manuel Miranda, James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson have all been cast in the BBC's upcoming series "His Dark Materials," based on the bestselling fantasy novels by British author Philip Pullman.
Oscar-winner Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech") will direct the first two episodes of the eight-part adaptation by Jack Thorne ("Harry Potter and the Cursed Child"). Dafne Keen ("Logan") plays Lyra, the precocious girl at the center of the story, whose adventures with a truth-telling device called the alethiometer bring her into contact with her mysterious Uncle Asriel (McAvoy), a terrifying woman named Mrs. Coulter (Wilson) and a strange phenomenon called Dust. On her journey from Oxford to London and beyond, Lyra meets charismatic aeronaut and adventurer Lee Scoresby (Miranda).
Everything about this sounds fucking stellar. Give it to me now.EDIT: Huge announcements for the Beeb's "His Dark Materials".
Damn, that's one stacked cast and crew.
I think it is lack of urgency. If you miss it, you can just binge it whenever you want.I stopped watching OITNB somewhere during season four, after thinking previous seasons were great-to-very good-to-good. I didn't dislike it, I just kind of stopped caring for whatever reason.
I never even started S4. I didn't start it when it released then I realized I didn't care and never went back.I stopped watching OITNB somewhere during season four, after thinking previous seasons were great-to-very good-to-good.

S5 was such 100% hot garbage I stopped watching midway. I think a lot of people bailed out after S5.Orange is the New Black S6 came out today and nobody cares apparently, did that show fall of a cliff? It used to be one of Netflix's "biggies" along with House of Cards no?
I agree. Season 4 was easily the most entertaining since the first (maybe even more so). Full blown sociopath Rachel is so much fun to watch (even when you have to do it through your fingers).
Critics apparently hated it though. I've honestly never understood the critical response to the show; why everyone pretends season one was legitimately good (it got a Peabody) while all the other seasons were written off as trash. The show has always been over the top lowbrow trash with a tinge of feminism. That's the appeal. Like...
I'm currently halfway through and wondering where its going...the overall series arc was that Rachel was the protagonist and sympathetic, and in 4 she's a straight up villain and its very hard to see anything but a super dark ending coming up. Very interesting choice. It is very entertaining though.I agree. Season 4 was easily the most entertaining since the first (maybe even more so). Full blown sociopath Rachel is so much fun to watch (even when you have to do it through your fingers).
I agree. In my opinion, Season 4 was easily the strongest season since Season 1. It did a good job of making prison feel like a scary place again. Which is something I hadn't felt since Season 1. Also, I'm looking at Metacritic right now, and Season 4 was the second highest rated season (among critics).
I wasn't a fan of Seasons 3 and 5 though.
Based off ratings you are seeing or were there announcements? Trial & Error is a decently enjoyable show for me.Welp. It looks like Trial & Error won't make it past the second season. Meanwhile, Marlon looks poised for a third season.
Sigh.
It's already dropping to .4 in its second outing. Marlon maintained a .6 rating throughout its second season.Based off ratings you are seeing or were there announcements? Trial & Error is a decently enjoyable show for me.

Another big new series pickup announcement from Amazon Studios at TCA. The streaming service is teaming with the Russo Brothers' AGBO Studios on a large-scope, international event series.
Amazon describes the collaboration as "a groundbreaking global television franchise", in which "the Russo Brothers will have the creative freedom to oversee an ambitious concept meant to … redefine the boundaries of storytelling," Amazon says.
