So true. "Hope", "THE Word" and others are really, really good, but then there are others which are just generic rehashes of sitcom clichés. I guess that's what makes Carmichael Show special all the time.

Any HBO series has to get a weekly coverage, no matter how insignificant it may be. That's just how the critic community was built.

I was as well, and Netflix was dumb not to announce that second season as the final one. They might as well do the same for Sense8 too, which is taking forever to come back.

Hemlock Grove. That's ok, nobody remembers that show either.

That's a surprise. Second Netflix original to get cancelled. Marco Polo will probably follow suit.

And I think you'd be right in taking it that way. But I'm really confident about Grimm coverage being brought back now, it just wouldn't make sense not to.

I think they will reverse that decision now that the final season announcement was made. It would be weird reviewing almost the entire show's run and dropping it in the final season. They have 4 months to do that.

Yeah, they brilliantly recontextualized that scene when the third film was a go.

The third one is a direct sequel to the second one, only they expand on his original mission. If in the second film, he was looking for the people who killed Marie, in the third he realizes he has to see things through and decides to look up for his own identity and Treadstone/Blackbriar program. Thus, their…

That came completely out of nowhere. I would definitely like to see such proof.

Sincerely don't understand how can something like The Catch be on this list - the most I could think of is that it's a desperate act to get some people to watch it as the show was on the brink of cancelation and was only saved because of Shonda power but will almost certainly die in season 2.

Yeah. I loved those final two episodes as much as anybody, but the show was pretty much just spinning its wheels this season, clearing off some dumb developments from season 5.

Clearly, they're trying to pull the same shit Ryan Murphy did with Lady Gaga in American Horror Story. A shame that, of all the wonderful actors Murphy has ever worked with, that's the one bit of casting Ehrin and Cuse learned.

I agree, but I think it worked because it was built in small doses. It had at most eight episodes per season and some very extensive hiatuses. Whenever I felt I had seen enough of it, the season was over and I would spend 18 months without it.

That was Wayward Pines' biggest twist ever since The Truth.

They didn't do a "state of the union" post as far as I know, but there are so many shows being dropped out that it's impossible to downplay it.

I think we need Todd back.

I do think he needs a career shake-up, though I'd personally wouldn't use Vanilla Sky as a model for that. Not that I hate that movie, but it's totally unremarkable to me.

Well, actually We Bought a Zoo is based on a book by the real Benjamin Mee, which Crowe adapted alongside Aline Brosh McKenna (from The Devil Wears Prada and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend fame) and while it's better than Aloha and Elizabethtown, it's not very good either. And Vanilla Sky is a remake of a Spanish film.

While I do consider Almost Famous to be a masterpiece, I never had any faith in this show. It just feels like trying to strike lightning twice. I still have to this day this feeling that the stars aligned to make that a perfect film as there's nothing in the world that points to Crowe being able to do a movie that…
