    season long ads i see — dual media production, tv shows that sell movies. For those who know dune messiah can easily see how dune prophecy, despite being thousands of years in the past, is a clear setup for themes and ideas that messiah will be introducing, and it explains why that show had so production issues.

    And then immediately cancel them.

    I don’t trust anything Netflix makes. It doesn’t matter how good it is or how much the fans love it, if it doesn’t immediately blow up and eclipse Stranger Things, then it’s not big enough for them and gets axed.

        1899 is the worst Netflix series ever and it shouldn’t have aired.

        Shitshow where nothing makes sense, and at the end of the season you truly realise that even the writers didn’t have a plan.

        They laughed at the face of investors. Even me, as a user, felt absolutely robbed and laughed at. Fuck them. Seriously.

      Bingo. The only way I can trust to watch a Netflix series is if they make it to at least season 4, or if they explicitly state this is a limited run.

      Unfortunately they won’t go to 4 seasons unless they have not just high numbers of viewers, but ludicrously high.

      Which means Netflix and I are stuck between a rock and a hard place

    Good. The Penguin was great, but it was great because it was well crafted. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, it was experts given the tools to do something great. Gotham is a fantastic setting, and the sheer number of worthwhile characters makes anything they do potentially fascinating.

    God, I don’t need every franchise to have eight TV shows with 1-2 seasons and movies that loosely tie into the TV shows.

    Cool! if it’s any good, which I doubt knowing Netflixes qualities these days I’ll give it a pirate.
