    Constantine starring Matt Ryan (2014-2015). TV show, one season cliffhanger. Pissed me off when they Firefly’ed it.

    Lemme do two shows:

    Kings just had a premise too esoteric for this world. It was like a retelling of the story of king David set in modern times in a constructed world that’s like ours though the Bible doesn’t exist within that world. There’s all sorts of remixed biblical strangeness in it.

    Jericho was like if one of those “mystery box” shows actually had a thought out plot that moved forward. Nuclear explosions go off around the country, not-Blackwater PMC guys work for not-Dick Cheney, and the main characters just keep getting sucked in to a ramp up for a post apocalyptic civil war.

        I liked Atlantis. Universe seemed to be barely connected in terms of story. I confess I watched like 2 episodes.

          Atlantis was great.

          Universe was amazing, and I’m still mad that they killed it on such a massive cliffhanger. Made me gunshy to this day, I don’t like watching shows until they’ve concluded. I will, but I don’t like it. Much rather find something that’s already wrapped up.

          I really disliked the first few episodes of Universe. The Battlestar Galactica reboot’s grimdark edge was bleeding in very strongly. The show does mellow out on that as it goes. The basic character friction is still there, but toned way down and characters are usually finding common ground.

    Since morning one mentioned it- max headroom. Not super obsessed i guess, but i watch through it every 3 years or so, and it just keeps getting more relevant.

    If it’s been off the air for a while that’s fine, but the worst thing is when you get into a show right as it’s random is dying.
