This has always been unequivocally regarded by all sides as the most "reddit" show of all time. It is literally the golden child television show of reddit, if they didn't have their little gay robot mascot it would probably just be a picture that says "I love firefly".

“V Wars.” I didn’t watch it when it cane out, just happened across it on Netflix and binged it last week.
I’m convinced its stupid-ass title is what got it cancelled. The show itself is legit good. It’s like a more grounded version of “The Strain,” where a prion from thawed permafrost starts turning a segment of the population into a vampiric species. They’re not undead and don’t have the standard vampire weaknesses; they’re just a lot stronger, faster, and tougher than normal humans, and they’re not dumb, feral beasts. This show had a lot of potential, but like me, I’m sure others read its dumb-ass title and scrolled right past.

Dexter Original Sin comes to mind because they were throwing OS and Res to the wall to see which sticks and gets a 2nd season. It's not impossible we get OS 2nd season some day but they can't postpone it too much because it was already 30yo actors pretending to be 18-20.
Maybe they do the move where they have flashbacks with OS actors in Res S2.
Also the first season of OS was 3/5 slop but it was entertaining. Never going to watch it again tho because too much of runtime is used in Laura subplot which does nothing.

Yeah, it has a really tight plot that you have to actually follow for it to make sense. Ppl on their phones would be lost before the first episode was up. My have had an assassin subplot that dovetailed perfectly with the show and the player of the assassin got a lot of main character energy thrown at her. She really hated it at first tbhh. She was so used to DMs just giving her crap with no actual character development but I'm definitely not that kind of DM

This tryhard show is so bad but somehow circles back around to being watchable because of how dated it is. I like how they dropped "McNasty" from the title after a few episodes ran so then it was just "Shasta" and then during that iteration of the show they thought it was necessary to bring on Verne Troyer as a regular cast member

Nigger, Battlestar was played all over the week. Still got numbers high enough to justify making season 2. It didn't get a fixed time slot until mid-season 2.

There’s an alternate timeline where this premieres just a couple years later and audiences don’t clutch their pearls over it and it gets six seasons and becomes a timeless Sopranos-level classic. I will never not be angry about this.

It’s funny how lost forever poisoned audiences against slowly unfolding narratives simply by pretending it had one.
Audiences are so terrified of being jerked around they’ll instantly dismiss anything remotely similar to lost as just another lost. But then at the same time as this paranoia was firmly in place game of thrones ended with an even worse ending despite not having “mystery boxes.”

Honestly a good pick. First season had problems but it had heart. I think they got the essence of all the characters except for Spike Speeeeegal, but they could have got it if they had a chance.
It suffered from that modern ailment, in trying to make the season into one complete story, when Cowboy Bebop really needed to be a dream-like roadtrip for Spike (who has stopped giving a fuck and considers themselves to be already dead).

It was fine, for the sake of the narrative you have to streamline characters, and since its a high level overview of the disaster, the immediate response, and then kangaroo court at the end.
Also the soviet union was pretty egalitarian when it came to women in medical and scientific professions, so throwing a single female character into the sausage fest isn't horribly offensive.
Otherwise you have the wife of pizza man, and the nurse in the first episode.

For a lot of things, they aired and not many people watched them, then there was no way to ever really find out about them later. Even now with streaming, not every show ends up available to stream. Krod is on the internet, but you have to pay for it and I'm not doing that, and I already *know* what it is. Who's taking the risk of buying a show they've never seen? There's also the simple issue of how there's only so much time in a day and, at least in the land of the free, barely any guaranteed time off.
And then if it IS on streaming, it's one of thousands of options. For most people, the choice paralysis sends them either rewatching a comfort show like "The Office" or right to their phone for faster-paced, guaranteed-dopamine media like TikTok, Insta reels, or YouTube Shorts. I have a tough time convincing people to watch "The Sopranos", that's how fucked up we currently are.
"Stunned silence" isn't surprising. Maybe things'll change, but not any time soon.

The Undergrads. MTV/Canada co-production from 2003 with licensed music which fucks any re-releases. Wish we got at least the scenarios/storyboards for the other 3 years of the clique's best years of their life that's not as easy as they seem.

This one pissed me off. Not because of this show, but because Fox pulled the plug on Minority Report which was a sci-fi, so why go for another which wasn't going to last. Minority Report showcased Megan Good before she got scrawny.

>for the sake of the narrative you have to streamline characters
Huh, but they had no problem depicting the miners, or the liquidators. Why didn't they replace all those characters with a single woman?

Swamp Thing was unironically the best thing DC put out in the last decade and they killed it before it even got a chance to breathe.
Yeah it’s “capeshit” on paper but it barely felt like it. More gothic horror than MCU quipfest garbage. Practical swamp monster suit looked kino as fuck, atmosphere was thick, actually had some R-rated balls to it.
Classic DC move: finally make something moody and aesthetic instead of onions banter and then pull the plug after one season. We can’t have nice things.
