> Casting directors are good at chemistry.
Well except for whoever the casting director for You People was.

I think he might come back. Possibly as an angel. I think that’s why the wife is a regular.

Sony did not need a streamer as they had no broadcast or cable businesses of note that needed to be replaced. That cable and broadcast revenue and profits made up the bulk of their business and was far more valuable than the studios.

TIL she was married to Riley Stearns. The Art of Self Defense was hilarious. Didn't know about his backstory.

Ummmm she was the other woman. He got divorced from the mother of his children bc of his affair with her. And now he’s doing Expedia commercials to pay for it. Divorce is expensive, kids. Take a note.

They're married?
I thought they'd split up years ago, because he was in all the newspapers dating another woman just before they started filming Birds Of Prey, which I remember pointing out to a friend that they never had a scene together in that film because of it.

They are saying they should have stretched out each episode into 2 episodes worth of story whereby I guess that's a a typo nd they won't final episode would be henry and Sam story?

The Walking Dead has literally become the walking dead. It’s just so played out. I can’t believe they have like 3 spin-offs in the works now. I left after like Season 4. It got so damn repetitive and boring.

Not much to say this week. You was the only show that did real numbers. Its 64,060,000 hours worked out at 15.8 million equivalent complete viewings. That was a 30% drop from opening week. Season four is trending to be down 10%-20% from season three. Still a big success though! I’m expecting a big week three and four drop as we have seen that with Netflix shows in the past that have very short runtimes.
How did the debut show do? The Law According to Lidia Poet was the pick of the bunch with 5.9 million. Also charting were Red Rose (3.9 million), Full Swing (2.9 million), Ganglands (2.2 million), and In Love All Over Again (2.7 million). Missing the charts were The Upshaws Part 3 (less than 4.6 million), The Girl and the Astronaut (less than 2.1 million), Eva Lasting (less than 1.1 million), and Community Squad (less than 2.9 million). It was a bad week for debut shows with everything flopping except Lidia Poet.
The Snow Girl (22.6-24.8 million) and Lockwood & Co (13.9-16.5 million) finished their 4 week runs. The Snow Girl did solid numbers for a Spanish language miniseries. The numbers for Lockwood & Co are poor. It is almost certainly canceled. Fate: The Winx Saga (a similar British genre show) got axed for only managing 25 million in the same timeframe!
This was an awful week for viewership engagement at Netflix. The good news is that this is the last of the bad weeks. The next four weeks will be a lot healthier starting with the return of Outer Banks this week. After that it is Sex/Life, more You, and then Shadow& Bone. With a bit of help on the non-English side from Wrong Side of the Tracks and The Glory.
This coming week is super quiet outside of Outer Banks with only Triptych supporting it. I guess they are hoping folks check out the glut of lesser shows that got released last week!

Still feel for the guy she cheated on. They were together since high school, then she met Ewen.

I think it's fucking stupid due to the imbalance of challenges. Ice climber dude made it into top 5 then got fucked with the 5-way tug of war, shits completely unfair, if they made it a speed challenge he would've made it passed that round for example

Yeah Winstead’s exhusband made a semi autobiographical movie afterward about how he compartmentalized his rage into martial arts to avoid going down a bad path after that happened

I’m 99% sure they never mentioned it again, it was such a weird detail that it has always stuck with me.

I haven't, just saying that my original point about Fargo being a matchmaker still stands.

I remember Clyde Phillips doing the ‘90s sitcom “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.” I wouldn’t have predicted that he would be the guy who would give us “Dexter.”

I remember an interview with Mazin a number of years ago. It might have been with Brian Koppelman.
Mazin said that he made a very conscious and calculated decision to move his career into other genres. He asked his agent and reps to start putting his name into contention for things that he normally would not be considered for.
I think he said the first project he secured on this new trajectory was writing on The Huntsman: Winter's War (the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman).

Murder mysteries have thrived for centuries now because they remove the main witness, so a particularly adept sleuth is required to solve the case. Whenever a woman is the victim, she's usually a pretty girl and everyone knows she's not really being killed, so it's nice to look at the pretty girl.

That's not true though, the movie was in development and he was already very into martial arts before their divorce. She was supposed to be in the movie before they split.
