This is disheartening. I haven't started watching the 4th season yet. I saw a clip of them all vomiting in a car and my first question was "What the hell is this?".
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

Finished it and changed my mind - there's no "nearly" in the "unwatchable." What an absolute garbage mess they made of these characters and their motivations, relationships, and arcs.
Seriously, for anyone thinking about watching this for closure or whatever, don't do it. Pretend that at the end of season 3 they all walked away and found a way to make new lives and be happy, and never think about it beyond that. Season 4 adds absolutely nothing of value, and cheapens everything that came before it.

Yeah, I sadly agree with all of this. They would have better to not do the 4th and just leave it a cliffhanger after the 3rd. Was garbage.
I didn't know until today, but they've confirmed a fourth season for The Orville. https://www.space.com/season-four-the-orville-start-production-2025
Any show should be able to have a satisfying ending that isn’t ruined by another season.
Any show should be able to have a satisfying ending without the constant IMPENDING DOOOOOM of cancellation hanging over them every season as soon as they hit the midpoint.

I saw the season premiere for Rings of Power. It’s okay. The music is definitely something to remember. The story might be inconsistently paced but it sure looks and sounds good.
Also, the fanboys have redoubled their weeping and wailing. I’m convinced more than ever that the fandom’s toxicity is due to their entire adolescence spent on the receiving end of atomic wedgies and swirlies. Looking at their profile pictures, I suspect they never held on to their lunch money past 10 am.
They also remind me of my three-year-old nephew who has autism. He’s a good kid but he will throw a fit if he feels like something doesn’t match with his expectations or if something is too different. Even he is more even-tempered and reasonable than those fanboys who are grown-ass men.

I haven’t tried watching the second season yet. I don’t have an issue with changing parts of the story so it works better on screen. My issue with Rings of Power is changing it to the point that they’re basically just using the names and general storyline. Just do something new, and let it stand on its own. Instead of banking on a name.
But, I really don’t care that much. It’s not worth getting upset about, and it’s easy to just not watch.

I am certainly a fan of Tolkien, but I haven't watched a second of the show. I simply feel like I don't need it or really want it. I feel the same about nearly all the the Star wars stuff and almost all of the marvel stuff after Endgame.
I feel like I had a really nice meal and now I am being offered some cheap overly sweet dessert. No thanks, I'm full . Not mad at the dessert. I simply don't want it.

Douglas is Cancelled
Heard about this when reading an article about Steven Moffat, of Doctor Who fame. He's the creator/writer of this new 4-part miniseries. I binged it all late last night, as I couldn't stop once I got started. Stars Karen Gillan, Hugh Bonneville, and Alex Kingston. I "legally obtained" it to watch it, but it seems like it's only available through a British-only streaming.
It's pretty danged good, although it starts more kind of jokey, it gets very dark later on. Without giving anything away, it becomes something very different at the end of the second episode and onwards.

Kevin Can F**k Himself
This is dark, but it really sucked me in. It's about a woman in an unhappy marriage to a neglectful jerk, and the hook is that the show is shot in two different styles. Scenes with Kevin, the husband, are in the style of a cliche sitcom. Bright, unrealistic lighting, a laugh track, as if it's filmed in front of a studio audience. Other scenes are filmed like a gritty drama, e.g. Breaking Bad. It kinda borders on horror, the way Kevin twists the world around himself.

That's sounds like an interesting premise. How different the view of the same situation can be to people in a relationship and that the typical sitcom situation is a toxic relationship.

Honestly a pretty good post modernist take on Greek mythology at least for the first season, hope to see more!

‘Chucky’ Canceled By Syfy & USA After 3 Seasons, Leaving Creator Don Mancini “Heartbroken” But “Grateful” Amid NBCU Cable Scripted Shift
Damn. That's disappointing. I loved the Chucky show way more than I ever thought I would. Hopefully it can fins a new home somewhere else.
Then again, in today's age of TV, it's a miracle any show makes it to three seasons.

‘Chucky’ Canceled By Syfy & USA After 3 Seasons, Leaving Creator Don Mancini “Heartbroken” But “Grateful” Amid NBCU Cable Scripted Shift
'Chucky,' based on the classic horror movie franchise, will not return for a fourth season on Syfy and USA Network amid a strategy shift at NBCU.

Yes. Like Gas says, Fall is traditionally when you come out with all your new shows. Summer is for movies, Fall for television, Winter is for holidays and holiday specials, and Spring is for taxes.

Boo, I liked Kaos.

The final "season" of Good Omens will be a single, 90 minute episode.
Neil Gaiman will be less involved with production of this finale, only serving as writer.

I was surprised that I enjoyed this one as much as I did, but that's not saying much since I expected a disaster from Amazon Prime Video trying to make a show about immigrants from India adapting to life in America. It's a fairly run-of-the-mill sitcom, but it's at least a little above average. I enjoyed it about as much as Fresh Off the Boat. Solid B tier sitcom.

*sigh* I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
You left off the part where they pull the series entirely off their platform six weeks after it gets canceled.
