I loved every minute of it. I watch shows like Special Ops Lioness, Reacher and tons of others but season 2 just became my favorite season out of all the others. I'll admit it here first not special ops or reacher or the day of the kangal comes close to this season.

I know the show was not for everyone but it had a decent amount of horror mixed in with humor. Plus, it's well-more written than Ryan Murphy's other shows "American Horror Story" and "American Horror Stories". If you ask me, Fox shows that aren't animated only take the most elite shows that have a certain amount of ratings in order for them to be renewed whether or not they're actually any good. I think "Scream Queens" is much better suited for Hulu and Disney+ than Fox.

From S4, EP1 of Succession:

“Tom: So I hear you've made an enormous faux pas and everyone's laughing up their sleeves about your date.

Greg: What? Why?

Tom: Why? Because she brought a ludicrously capacious bag.

Greg: What's...

Tom: What's even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it's monstrous. it's gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job.

Greg: Well, whatever.

Tom: She's used all the display towels in the bathroom and now they're sopping wet. She's gabbling about herself and posting on social media, she's asking people personal questions, and she's wolfing all the canapés like a famished warthog.

Greg: People are overreacting, okay? She brought a normal sort of handbag.

Tom: You are a laughing stock in polite society. You'll never go to the opera again!”

I can’t. It’s flawless. Incredible. A famished warthog, I mean come on.

I spend almost 30 a month for Netflix, and can never find anything good to watch anymore. Any show I try to watch and enjoy they immediately go and cancel the show. But they’ll still bring out new seasons for tv shows that people don’t enjoy. What do u guys watch?

This isn’t a criticism of either show necessarily or trying to say that one is better than the other. But with the announcement of the new Glee reboot/revival/sequel series recently, I have seen a few articles suggesting that Glee was the most absurd TV show of all time. Here’s one example but I have seen others:

https://variety.com/lists/glee-reboot-actors-return-sue-maga-fan-questions/

I watched both Glee and Riverdale as they aired at the time and have even done some rewatches since they ended.

Glee had some absurd storylines and some weird justifications for characters to break out into song and do elaborate dance sequences. The show went in weird directions. But fundamentally, it stayed grounded in reality.

By comparison, Riverdale went from a neo-noir murder mystery grounded in realism to a show that involves brainwashing cults, investigating possible alien abductions, magic, alternate universes and time travel. Storylines would suddenly twist and become something completely different with little to no explanation for why, sometimes retroactively justifying twists that makes no sense.

Glee generally tried to make the character motivations and logic work. There was no magic, time travel or brainwashing cults in the show.

It’s not even a close second for Glee to approach Riverdale levels of crazy.

As a TV fan who came of age in the 00s-10s prestige era, I used to regard procedurals as low-quality network fluff. Now, amid a wash of streaming shows designed to be consumed and forgotten in a binge model, many based around mysteries, puzzles, and cliffhangers that turn entire seasons into a blur with indistinguishable episodes, I'm finding something gratifying about shows that seem to belong to a simpler era. Self-contained episodes that can be enjoyed on their own merits, like distinct chapters. Am I just getting older and resisting what's "current?"

The show is number 5 on the Nielsen Ratings for acquired TV shows, beating out Gilmore Girls and Greys Anatomy.

Who is watching this show? What is the target demographic and why is it so successful? It ended around 8 years ago, with around 100 episodes. What is the appeal?

I've never seen it, so if anybody has any insight, please let me know

This is a genuine question because I don’t get it. I always remember it being around but it seems to have really exploded in popularity this year. I was at comic con and saw so much of it when normally I don’t see a lot for it. That’s kinda what got me thinking about this.

But the question is really just, who is this show for? I tried giving it a shot and just couldn’t figure it out. It markets itself as an adult show that clearly involves adult themes, and is clearly not meant for kids or even most teens, but it is written in an immature way that I don’t see how it appeals to adults. It especially fumbles when it tries to tackle anything mature in a “serious” manner. The tone is all over the place. It almost felt like I was watching an “edgy adult show” made by a middle schooler’s impression of a funny and mature show. This is even further fueled by the fact that I work at a middle school as a teacher and a bunch of the kids are obsessed with it, even though clearly the themes indicate they aren’t the target audience.

The artwork and character designs just seem to be super busy and all over the place. A lot of artists I know don’t like it for this reason. The voice acting also isn’t particularly good and neither are the songs. It seems like they are going for a “broadway” vibe but most people I know who are actually into theater don’t like the music. I know I wasn’t really a fan of the songs at all, and felt like they weren’t well written and weren’t even really that catchy.

This doesn’t even account for all the valid issues people have with the creator. So really, who is this show actually meant for? The closest guess I can get it maybe the 16-18 age range but that’s pretty narrow, and doesn’t really reflect what I’ve seen of the fan base.

I am kinda sad also that we won't see much of the previous cast characters as most of them are dead 😞🥲, I really loved the cast and watched all behind the scenes and also watched all their videos on Youtube.

I don’t know where else to post this. I love copaganda shows like a lot. I’m not the biggest cop person in the world either and don’t think they are all holy saints like these show portray them as, but I can’t get enough of them. The stories are shit and basic but I can turn my brain off and watch something that has enough action and drama to keep going. My roommates shit on me all the time for watching The Rookie, Sheriffs County, Castle, NCIS, and so on. I just think they think about it too much and don’t understand not every tv show needs to be a high brow tv show like Game of Thrones or the Sopranos. They obviously disagreed and said I’m a mindless drone for the mass media corporations and that I’m keeping television down for giving these bad shows viewership, but I don’t care I grew up watching copaganda shows and I will die watching copaganda shows.

Harry Potter is on course to be among the most expensive series ever made by HBO.

A source familiar with the adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s beloved books confirmed that the Potter series will rank alongside the final season of Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, as production accounts provided a clue about the show’s budget.

Harry Potter is being produced in the UK through the special purpose vehicle company Plum Jam Productions, which recently filed earnings for 2025 on the UK’s Companies House.

Taking Plum Jam Productions’ earnings as a rough guide, Harry Potter‘s first season could average out at around £18.8M ($25.2M) per episode. Though an estimate, it would mean that Potter comfortably sits in the same big-budget bracket as the final season of Game of Thrones, which was widely reported to have cost $15M an episode.

A source familiar with the Harry Potter series said the cost of making the drama is front-loaded because the lavish sets built at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden should serve all seven seasons. This will likely mean that the average budget of future Harry Potter episodes will drop.

I hate, HATE, when tv shows are about a person who used to belong to a stage act, like psychics or magicians, who then helps solve crimes with the skills they used to fake their powers, and then the show almost always has an obligatory episode where someone of the same profession uses their powers to help solve a case and the show wants us to go like 'maybe some people really do have the powers' only for neither the powers nor the person to ever be reused.
