That’s behind a paywall. OnlyClams

I had no idea there was an American version. And I’m surprised its U.S. producers didn’t try to “spice things up” by encouraging contestants to backstab each other or act like whores.

James Carville? The “Ragin Cajun” voiced Superman? I gotta check that out!

If only they had a long running TV series about detectives who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders, to draw upon for material and inspiration.

I’ve spent a combined 9 hours on reddit and twitter today, and this is still the stupidest fucking comment I’ve seen.

“I’m already suffering from the bullying and tearing down of the entire country against me. I don’t think I deserve everything I’m going through, but I hope this apology works for you all, at least, to mitigate the damage I’ve done.”

Escalona’s behavior sounds like extortion.

Given how this guys thinks I am 100% that what comes out of this is a bunch of DC movies that feel like Marvel clones. One liners and quips all day.

Like a doll's eyes...

I wasn’t meaning to intimate either of those things; this article just reminded me of a resonant thought I had about the Wonder Years.

For someone who is so militant about people being accepted and treated fairly, you sure seem to be okay shaming what Kevin Smith looks like

I sat down for Get Back. I love The Beatles but I’m not standing for 8 hours.

Every time I hear someone say, “The Beatles were overrated,” (and I hear that a LOT,) I remember that every song I’ve ever heard from them was released in about a seven-year span. Then I remind myself those people who say that are silly.

Ouch! I burned myself on your hot take!

I have all the major streaming apps (Netflix, Disney, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple, Paramount, HBOMax, Discovery+, Peacock, YouTube Premium).

God-tier is Netflix and YouTube Premium - no one streams better.

Strongly disagree on it being a logical business decision. Yeah they’ve produced some crap along the way but HBO has a fairly strong reputation for quality scripted programing. He seems hellbent on walking away from that reputation because he wants to do his own thing and doesn’t care about squandering the HBO brand.

Zaslav played a big role in turning the Discovery Channel and TLC from educational channels into trashy networks that air mostly cheap exploitative shows, pseudoscience BS, and nutjobs peddling conspiracies about aliens and doomsday prophecies. So I would question his definition of “quality.”

This is absolutely the case for me as well. I’ll deal with a frustrating UI for good content but I won’t breeze through the most amazing UI ever invented for stuff I don’t want to watch.

Can’t believe they haven’t realized content is all that matters. I put up with Paramount+’s horrible features and UI because I want the content.

I really loved Warner Archive. Then it became FilmStruck, but ditched the classic TV portion (I wasn’t finished watching Dr. Kildare!).

Then they killed Filmstruck, and Criterion is just too darn expensive for what it has.
