Did you mean The Expanse?
Heh, The Expense sounds like what MAD Magazine would call its parody of The Expanse...
Well, it's mine now... but i'd be willing to part with it for a fee...

Maybe Brooklyn Nine-Nine could have grown it's viewership if they put up past seasons on Netflix or Amazon Prime or anywhere.
It's on Hulu, apparently? But that's basically like not putting them online at all.

The only worse option would have been to put them on Yahoo Screen, like community did with season 6.

Why is it so hard to figure out where a show is available for streaming? It's like they want people to pirate shows.
We subscribed to Hulu just to binge B99 seasons. We just got caught up last night.
Hulu has its own programming, so there's a chance they could pick it up, but it's hard to say when so much is up in the air over Disney's acquisition of Fox.
I think the worst part of this is really just that their dumping B99 for that stupid trumper Tim Allen show.
You wound me.
Second best sci-fi show on TV.
Counterpart beats it though, because Counterpart is basically the best show.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was related to budget issues. Similar things killed Eureka (which cost A FORTUNE to do per an episode) and Warehouse 13. Unfortunately, SyFy has basically zero budget to work with.
Sounds like it was because of the rights they had. The show was on a LIve First Run basis and had no streaming or digital platform rights. So hopefully someone like Netflix or Hulu will pick it up for a new season but only if they can secure a better deal than SYFY got. I am once again reaching a point where due to cancellations I have no reason or need to watch SYFY.
I binged this show this past weekend.
Holy crap, it was like I was 10 again watching the original for the first time. So good!

I've stalled on episode 7. I need to power through.
I do love the way that Johnny is still a sympathetic asshole and Danny is a sympathetic asshole. They both are trying to do the right thing in their own eyes but from the outside they are both just fucking stuff up.
Spent Friday evening and all of Saturday at some friends' house. They just finished assembling their 180in 4k projector and hifi sound system (provisionally, still need a screen and to pick the final room configuration/cabling), so we binged the first season of The Magicians and HOLY SHIT. This show is the dark and edgy take on Harry Potter that I didn't know I wanted.
I really want to watch season 2 already, but holding off until we can do another hang-out/binge because their setup makes it worth the wait.

Yep, it's a good contrast to show how much Mr. Miyagi made a difference in Daniel-san's life.
I'm loving Eli's tranformation into Hawk. I'm not going to spoil Ep. 10, but you'll know it when you see it. <KAKAAAWWW>
Well, that didn't last long. Roseanne cancelled. Turns out going on Twitter to claim that Chelsea Clinton is married to a nephew of George Soros and bringing up the old discredited rumour about hum being a Nazi collaborator, and then going on a racist rant comparing an African-American former aide to Obama to a character from Planet of the Apes is enough to get ABC to drop you like a hot potato. Who knew?
One of two things is going to happen:
- Fox is going to pick up Rosanne.
- Some "liberal" show will go to the chopping block as a sacrifice to "fairness".
Regardless, I'm betting we're going to see "ABC just got Trump re-elected" headlines soon.
