I've tried three times to watch this series. I keep turning it off because I want to murder all the characters and the atonal music is annoying AF.
I deal with annoying people in person on a daily basis, and I have teens with tragically crap taste in music so no, this series clearly isn't for me as I already get everything it has to offer for free with zero effort.

Reply to comment by elidefoe in Ben Affleck on the set of "The Voyage of the Mimi" in 1984. by IdyllicOleander
We watched the 60's something version of Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade English class, and had to have our folks sign a waiver because Juliet shows boobie in one scene. We were all excited and the teacher let us know the moment was coming. It was like .5 second of boob and we were all disappointed after. She actually had to pause the film and lecture us because the entire class was murmuring about how lame and anti-climatic the whole thing was.

AppleTV will do this too, which is nice. The app, not the hardware.

Can I just say I am getting so sick of the stupidly overused Ticking Clock theme in all horror/thriller trailers lately?
It's reached the point of Chris Nolan's "WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHMMMMMMM!!!" bad, and they need to find a new gimmick.

This actually isn't new. There was a string of this sort of scam going on in Taiwan in the early 80's. I read about it in one of my dad's hidden playboys when I was a kid, and remember the story and the cartoon of a dude passed out slobbering with a tit in his mouth was hilarious.

I hope this chart means something to someone, because to me it looks like a mess of IDE cables.

Five bucks says it won't be filmed in Alaska, and can politely go F off.
If you're going to film in Canada, just base the bloody story there too.

Can I sue Paramount for the series being complete trash that somehow managed to make the original ending of Dexter somehow better by comparison?

You mean when new seasons premiered every year, without the 2-3 year lag current shows seem to struggle with?
Oh yeah, that was horrible *eye roll*

It's not about forgetting what's happened since the last season, rather losing whatever emotional connection I had with the characters and events in the years since. Currently dealing with that with the new season of The Dragon Prince. My wife and I are both sick at home today and have tried to get through the new season that just dropped, but the time jump and the three years since the last season have left us feeling solidly "meh," and we keep turning it off to watch something else instead.

Reply to comment by GeekdomCentral in Will The Expanse ever get the last 3 seasons to finish out the last 3 books? by MajorRichardHead7
They spent about 20% of the remaining run time in an already cramped season setting up characters and situations that directly lead into the final arc of the story but weren't at all necessary for that season. Why would they do that if this was meant to be the final season?

I think Bezos lost interest in this show when RoP came around, and he sunk the majority if the studios funds into that project instead. Now that RoP has been met with a resounding "meh" it is possible interest may reignite in finishing the story.

I don't care how good the TV panel is, there's no way I am wasting money on anything running that BS FireTV OS, sorry Amazon. Has nothing to do with Google or anyone else, rather what an unintuitive laggy POS your software is all by itself.

I mean I guess, but we already saw him do that in the back to back Homecoming and Vietnam episodes, that saw Sam give up on saving his father and then his brother for the sake of others.
It would seem like ultimately this didn't matter, as it was meant to undo a large part of Al's character motivations by undoing the loss of his first true love thus preventing him from becoming the womanizer with commitment issues he became when the show started, but apparently didn't last as he was depicted as dying the same womazing party animal at the start of the new show.
Btw, new show is trash and doesn't deserve the name or Ernie Hudson. Both are wasted on what is even worse than the recent Macgyver reboot.

Like I posted above, you should have included Hawaiian listings, though they would have skewed TF out of your chart from their sheer ridiculousness.

Apple gave Ted Lasso the "Ted Lasso Treatment" after it completely blew up on social after a very lowkey launch. Word of mouth and the show itself is what made that show a breakout hit, not its treatment by Apple.
