But how do I know a show is popular if uninteresting Redditors don't quote it in unrelated threads?

We'll see. This is not even unique to this show. Almost no huge budget streaming genre show has gone past 4 seasons, 5 at max. And I really doubt this will break the trend.

Where’s Steph curry when you need him?

The problem with the show isn’t that it has competition it’s that it’s not that great

Me too

I think that their line of thinking is: "We are still better than Zazlav".

Of all the forgettable trash you could have referenced...Reacher ain't one of them.

That doesn't mean they should be creatively bankrupt and rehash one thing over and over.

But hey if all you want is corporate bland mediocre stuff there's tons of it around.

I may be done with BB anyway. Been watching since the day season 1 started. I never really got into the live feeds but I did read updates so you know the real story. Anyway I feel burnt out on BB.

He's been beloved by smaller circles for a long time but he's turned into a huge star now. My mom knows who Pedro Pascal is now.

If it can be done properly I don't have a problem with bringing things back.

Also there was a new Armando show that just aired its second season and nobody liked it. The movie Julia did was poorly received too. New isn't necessarily better.

Laura Linney has actually never won an Emmy (or any other major award) for Ozark. Nominated many times but never won. She's won Emmys for other projects though.

I know there is a lot of Sopranos love in here and it's a good show but I feel like it walked so Breaking Bad could run. I think a lot of its love comes from how it changed TV but that model has been improved on since then.

I think the Wire is also substantially better than The Sopranos

By the time season 4 comes around I can guarantee the thought of canning the show won’t be in consideration at all

I fall into this category. I really enjoy the LotR books, but never read any of Tolkien's other works. So I don't know what the back story should be, nor do I care. I was entertained enough to watch the season, and I'll watch S2. I'm interested in where the story is going to go.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show sucked as hard as people seem to think. I think it's just judged overly harshly, which is fine because I judged the Uncharted movie pretty harshly because I LOVE the games. But for those of us who don't care that much about the source material or how much the show strays, the show is fine.

Wheel of Time is the same. I never read the books, so have no clue about the story. The show was ... OK. I'll watch the second season as well b/c it scratches a particular TV itch and I don't have to think too hard about it.

People can get excited about things LOL Jesus this /r/ is so salty all the time for people enjoying anything that isn't some art house shit.

What? Reacher was amazing :O

Ah, I loved this show. I even own it on DVD. Loved the faux-Shakespearean dialogue. Most of the cast were phenomenal, although the weakest element was David and the Princess' romance storyline. Way too network trope-y. A show like Kings would have been way better received now than on NBC circa 2009. Succession meets Game of Thrones meets the Old Testament? Come on!

Hipsters.

Was Tiger in it because other then him pretty much everyone under 50 doesn't care about golf. Minuture golf? Now that's a different story

True, might not work, but I'm excited to see someone take a big swing like this.
