Nah. She’s done some good stuff but I don’t think you can compare Mindy Project (or it sounds like this one) to what Schur and Lear have produced, at least at this point.

It’s unfortunate that Maura was really the heart of the show (and the only consistently sympathetic character, at least for me).
Yeah, I kind of thought the “Marvel shows can’t fill 13 episodes!” thing would get dropped after the big Defenders season only managed to plod through 8. They seem to have problems with plot generally.
Are you new here? AVC is a pop culture site and has always written up ish like this.
Huh? Instead of only having the biggest movie of the year, they’re probably going to have #1 and #2 (it doesn’t really matter which one is Avengers and which one is Black Panther). There’s no world in which that isn’t a good thing.
Marvel’s worried about their new movie opening slightly lower than their last movie, which will be one of the biggest of all time?
This is generally my takeaway. People complain about how Leia looked using the force, or Finn and Rose deciding to trust someone they just met with hugely critical info, because the movie is kind of a slog — if you’re having a blast like in the originals or TFA, you don’t care.
I’ve come down on the slow cooker as the best way, too. You can make a bunch at once and freeze a few batches, plus I think you keep more of the liquid this way, which is like adding gold to any recipe you want to throw a splash in.
Pretty awesome that this has turned into a generational event. I would not have called BP potentially ending up bigger than Last Jedi and The Avengers a couple of months ago.
Wait did you see Force Awakens? It specifically focused on Kylo Ren as the active baddie, and kept Luke Skywalker offscreen so that the new kids had to learn to save the day. (Rian made the right decision to continue all that and further it in many ways, but he and Abrams both had the same instinct here.)
This. I don’t want Oprah as President, but one reason we’re in this mess is that Republicans will line up to vote for anyone with an R behind their name, no matter how awful, but liberals defect to Jill fucking Stein if they don’t think the candidate is perfect.
It’s wild how much more helpful and original your comment is than the article above. Thank you!
For real. Netflix will look at their numbers and see if this strategy worked out. If it didn’t, they have the money to release the next season with a different strategy! Most shows don’t blow up overnight — it took weeks for Stranger Things to become huge, and arguably until the second season for Orange is the New…
Same — thought it was at best decent, but the strong pushback and lengthy thoughts on the releast process from many critics seems.. out of proportion. I wonder if some of them are worried about having less of an influential voice if direct-to-streaming becomes more common.
They’re incredible on this one. The comments had their stupid moments before the Kinja-ing, but damn has it gotten worse since then.
I know people thought it was weird, but I just took those names as Jessica mocking them.
For real... loved JJ and gave the others after a shot, but they were only good in fits and starts.
It’s odd for sure. The next Game of Thrones won’t necessarily be something like Game of Thrones, but that seems to be what they’re assuming.
Yeah — anyone trying to argue Last Jedi wasn’t wildly profitable is clearly nuts, but the fact that it’s only going to end up pulling in about 80 million more than Rogue One stateside seems to indicate it didn’t resonate the same way as the last two.
You know he’s just producing these now, right? Anyway 10 Cloverfield Lane was pretty great and pulling into the franchise got it in front of way more eyes than otherwise. Looking forward to this next one.
