Secret Six (DC) Series in the works at CBS

Naw
Like I don't mind leaning on the humor, but want the raunchy stuff not getting on CBS
I seem to recall Secret Six being queer af. Catman was bi, Scandal and Knockout were lesbian lovers, and I'm forgetting at least one other character. So CBS, home channel for the Olds, doesn't seem like a great place for it.
And if you're not going to do Gail's and this is just bootleg Suicide Squad, then who cares?

I forget that is a thing, they do need something for when Star Trek is filmning
Had to go to Wikipedia for this. This shit don't belong on CBS, it belongs on FX.
Sounds like they're going with the earlier incarnations, rather than the awesome Gail Simone run. Probably end up in the A-team/ Person of Interest mold where it's a team of people (the suave one! The hacker! The wildcard!) helping someone out each week. Bleh.
I can't wait until they talk with Waller, spend half the show trying to recover a mysterious asset, and then that asset just turns out to be Waller, whatever.

I was hoping Gunn's take on Suicide squad would be based on The Secret Six.
I find it funny that the author of the Variety article goes out of their way to not mention any legitimate members of the Secret Six except for Bane.
The Six are...
Deadshot
Catman
Scandal
Ragdoll
Knockout
Bane
Everyone else was a guest member or not a member at all.

How are they gonna do ragdoll family, the brick scene........

Why is this show not on the DC Universe streaming service? You'd think WB would consolidate all of their newly greenlit DC shows onto their streaming service.
Rag doll was asexual right? I mean the genital removal is what it is but I don't believe he displays any interest in anyone in the series.
CBS won't do this justice. Like the shit with Catman's parents, or Ragdoll's everything, Bane, Deadshot has some weird conceptually horrifying shit going on.

I keep seeing billboards for The Rookie with a Nathan Fillion. I'm guessing he's a charming detective who solves murders while juggling family and fighting the sexual tension with his female lead.
It will air on DC Universe too, but having other networks fund that shit is... easier on the studio's wallet while still promoting the brand of DC
Look, DCU isn't ever going to be profitable enough to justify the five shows they have right now. The only reason they're able to do it is because of Netflix paying for the international rights. Every show has to be paid for by someone--this one's being paid for by CBS. Though unless they're getting the longest of leashes it's gonna be trash.
A Secret Six show would be cool... but it's either going to be cancelled or be a shadow of what we'd want a Secret six show to be.
On the one hand I really enjoyed the Secret Six ever since Villain's United, but in what world can that comic be adapted into a network TV show? Literally the most heartwarming relationship in that book involves lesbian polyamory, CBS is going to butcher this. I will happily eat crow if I'm wrong, but this seems like this is going to be a disaster.
