And I think there is a difference between spin-offs anyway. This show was more attempting the “Doctor Who/James Bond” anthology with the same character/different actor thing as another commenter said below.

True. That is the only one that comes to mind, other than James Bond that does work

Yep, true. I should have said the odds were against it because way more fail. Fraiser of course was aided by the fact that the show was a completely different character and with a totally different feel and setting. And the L & O franchises to me I overlook because the characters are basically nonexistent and they…

Agree. I disagree with the reviewer that season two was better. It was more streamlined, but that did not make it better. The plot was way better in season one and the side characters were more compelling, and it dealt with intriguing, even fun ideas about immortality, such as the religious angle, whether you could…

Agree. It is one of those things that sound good “on paper” but in practice just isn’t sustainable

I think what some thought was an intriguing idea, that you could have a new cast each season since the main character could become anyone, was actually its undoing. I think people get attached to characters on TV and people who liked the first season probably would have watched if Joel Kinnerman would have kept being…

Why cant they just put this on regular CBS? There is nothing worse than networks charging you for their “good” shows when they are already are making billions from commercials. At least NBC had the good sense to make their streaming service free. If you want a platform to show edgier stuff to compete against others,…

That is true in real life, but as a show, I think the theme needs to be more clearly pronounced or it will turn into everybody against Homelander. Now if the show wants to be that, I am not saying it is not fine. But if they actually want to say something metaphorical about power (and being a superhero is kind of the…

I thought the first season had some fun moments, but the theme of the “power corrupts” metaphor (with superheroes!) was very inconsistently delivered since some of them (conveniently the two women) were “good”. If the show wanted to be consistent, all of them should have been evil. That way the entire superman myth is…

I agree with the JFK assassination, it is way overused.  I can see how someone in like 1969 might say “hell yeah” to stopping JFK from bein killed, but in 2020?  The whole thing is a historical footnote and modern day historians really do not consider his administration to be like the Camelot like the media at the…

I agree this is a common sense explanation. But it does kind of fall into the boomer thing of making the Kennedy assassination an all accompanying thing. Like in Stephen King’s 11/23/63 when the restaurant owner tells the hero he needs to stop Kennedy from being assassinated, he never even asks “why”.  Yeah someone…

Yeah, I guessed at the age, sorry

Yeah, for anyone who would like to see the show that basically influenced like 100 other shows, including being why Cheers even existed, this is the show to watch. I was too young when this was on, but I saw it in syndication, where it played I think at least until the 1990's on many different networks. The big thing…

Especially considering that the Flash TV show has been running now six seasons and literally has done all of this before.

well, that is one of the reasons people find cults fascinating, is how so many people can be led into one when the person at the front strikes most as having the charisma of a potted plant and the middle aged body to match.  he question is why is it that seemingly adult women who should know better look at some middle…

The is a miniseries called Waco on Netflix that is very superior and also deals with similar material. (Branch Dividians). That show of course also devoted about half of its time to the major flaws of the federal government in escalating the standoff and what lead to all the deaths, but it also dealt with the cult…

You covid Karens are all the same.  What you wrote is true for any illness.  If you have little to no chance of dying, it is basically the flu.  And those people have looked at the data, they all back what I wrote. 

Everything you just spewed at me applies to you. It isn’t “unfinished”, it is five months of numbers. They are the same everywhere. It isn’t “hyperbole”, it is a fact backed up by statistics. Anyone can read statistics. Nothing i misrepresented by me. The misrepresenting is done by dipshits like you who want hysteria.…

Haha..totally agree.  Their biggest achievement (besides  the occasional really good series, I admit) is the utter crap they put  out that can get millions of eyeballs that would be complete dog meat if a regular studio had to release it in theaters. 

Yeah, and it was right back then to for under 50 years old.  I know people would rather be hysterical, but the numbers and facts do not lie.
