    Into the Badlands was mentioned in the previous thread and I watched the first two episodes. I guess the fights were alright, but nothing else about it was really grabbing me.

    Into the Badlands gets better the more it goes on, but if the general aesthetic of the show doesn't grab you that's also totally fine.

    I love how the main characters are in the Quinn faction, but the Widow is the actual "good guy."

    That show does interesting things with shades of grey morality. Sonny is not a terribly interesting protagonist, but his job is mostly to do flips, kill people, and try to prevent TK from stupiding himself to death.

    Also, the most stylish baron is objectively Juliet Chau, Baron of the Cogs.

    And this is where I learn that Jesse Plemons and Kirstin Dunst are romantically involved

    They played a married couple on Fargo and shortly after actually got together

    I'm a sucker for that shit

    Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell did not know each other before they were on The Americans together for 6 years and are now married and have a kid

    Maybe if we saw her more often she might outswank Quinn. If we count her Clipper uniforms I'd say she beats him.

    Quinn is odd in that his style in the second season is rough but he has such bestial spirit that it pushes him past the others.

    Why hasn't NBC renewed Timeless? Is it possible they are waiting to see if Reverie does well before deciding?

    Ratings were disappointingly down the last half of the season, including for the finale, and it's likely they're just legit questioning whether to invest in it further

    I'm...yeah, apparently even the cast who worked on the show are a little relieved it's not airing now. They initially pushed it back because of the Parkland shootings, and then...well, if your show can't air because it's insensitive in the wake of a shooting, the reality is that it just can't air in America

    that's not even taking into account the various other ways it was, apparently, terrible

    The show runner was able to successfully identify that we are moving to a point where nontraditionally popular people are beginning to be glorified but fails to envision any changes that this change in culture might cause.

    So there is a popular girl who is fat and one who is gay and they act the exact same way that 80s populars acted.

    There's some on that list. The Garbage Pail Kids cartoon had 13 episodes ready and ended up canceled due to parental outcry before it ever aired.

    I'm kinda surprised that wasn't released on DVD back when we hit peak 80s nostalgia.

    Lifetime had announced plans to debut the reality television series, which would have followed the owners of the Johnson Family Mortuary in Fort Worth, Texas, and began airing promotion teasers. But after a series of rescheduling issues, Lifetime decided to cancel the series altogether on July 24, 2014. The program's scrapping also came in the wake of the July 15 discovery of 8 unattended or decomposing bodies at the funeral home, which led to the arrests of owner Dondre Johnson and his wife Rachel Hardy-Johnson. (The funeral home's landlord, who was executing an eviction process, discovered the bodies and alerted authorities.) The funeral home itself has been the subject of an investigation by The Texas Funeral Services Commission and has been scrutinized by critics and the local media about their practices and boasting about promoting the series prior to their arrest.
