It’s been awhile but isn’t the Turtle in Desperation as well and helps whoever (forget the character’s name) seal away Tak?

as the article mentions, the show was renewed before it was released. Before Brett Goldenstien's breakout role in Ted Lasso too. He has been busy. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Joining the MCU. And the show came out two years (almost 3). Surprised this wasnt announced sooner.

This isn’t unpopular

That's my usual, I'll probably go back when I have time or don't have other distractions

I know most of this talent, casually peruse AMC often enough, and obviously visit this sub — and I totally missed this and never heard of this show.

Probably canceled because nobody wanted to work on a boring anthology from 3 years ago with zero audience

I mean to be fair the book is 1000+ pages long. Would loved to have seen some of that existential philosophicalness at the end of the movies with the turtle though.

1st episode is probably the worst one IMO but I give it a pass because it needs to set everything up. I wouldn't say it's the only episode that does that cat-and-mouse game of the culprit knowing about Charlie's ability and maneuvering around it. The guy in the racing episode did it arguably more so

SVU has done a shit ton to bring light to survivors of assault, abuse, human trafficking, domestic violence, and the need for DNA kit follow through. They delve into police brutality and racism in the system. They have episodes showing how infuriatingly horrible the “good ole boys” club is. I know I learned a lot from watching and have spent time researching a lot of the topics discussed after seeing various episodes. They keep it about the survivors, not just cops doing cop shit.

Hard pass

It's not continuing any specific story of the first two seasons but I don't think you'll care for it much without knowing the relationships, personalities, and backgrounds. This first episode of the revival is a lot of catching up with the old characters and I think a lot of it would fall flat for someone who has no idea who any of the characters are. This premiere at least is definitely for people who know the show.

There are only 20 episodes total that are less than a half hour each prior to the revival, so no reason to not just track those down if the cast or premise appeals to you. This is a week to week release anyway so plenty of time to spare to watch the original ones while this comes out. If you're in the US, the first two seasons are on Hulu.

Hell yes

Exit Stage Death is arguably the funniest episode of the show so far with Charlie's head in the fridge talking to them while they're on stage and becoming the Ghost of Pensacola. The other episodes have had hilarious bits too like the horse head

So were gonna have singing😏

I heard it was all allegedly caused by WB CEO David Zaslav, who happened to cancel Westworld one season before the series’ planned conclusion, and who also allegedly loves to pee on himself in front of small children in public just to feel something warm against his cold, dead heart.

yeah, like why would they ever cancel a successful show?

People have deluded themselves into thinking liked on reddit = popular.

Surely, that was the idea?

You didn't want somebody that looked perfect with Tim, because the aim was to make Dawn look like a much better fit?

Agreed. I got my first job because of my dad and then a couple of years later, my mum joined us both. In my case, they needed warm bodies to fill space and i needed a job, and in my mums case, she made my life hell. I wouldn't call myself a nepotism baby in that sense but I'd call her worse.

I wasn't convinced after the first episode of Shrinking, either. Keep watching if you like After Life - it's very similar to it. Some scenes make you cry and then 10 seconds later you'll be laughing hysterically.

My wife and I have a policy of at least 3 episodes of a new show. If you can't grab me in the first three episodes, I'm not gonna like the rest of what you have. But some shows take a few episodes to find their rythym and casting to gel. This policy has never disappointed us.

Do I need to watch the first season ?

Edit: good job Reddit for downvoting a question…

Would you call that nepotism? They cast Benedicts real life parents as Sherlocks parents, so why not Martins partner as Mary? Would they have done it if she wasn't an actor?

I feel like it was written as a potential series finale.

it does get better, just wait until Luthen does his thing with the ship, that's a bona fide Top Ten Star Wars moment

Prequel to the events of IT, maybe? All those stories shown in the book but (maybe) hinted at in the movies

Where Jill Tracy dies from "cocaine", Cox uses her organs to save 3 patients but they start dying because she actually died from rabies.

Cox goes on a downward spiral, shows up to work drunk, and suffers severe depression.
