Lol cure? U must have stopped in season 1. Walking dead definitely had some last of us type moments.
The downside of last of us is that it was too short for what kind of thing it was going for they had 3 episodes out of 9 that weren't even the Main characters and then they are like .....now she's his daughter. They travel cross country in 6 episodes then it's over 😒

> Season 3 of How to with John Wilson was said to be coming December 2022

So I didn't hallucinate this? Good to know I'm not crazy lol, I swore I read it would be coming then but couldn't find anything to confirm it.

>With all the internal shakeups and changing priorities behind the scenes at WBD, seems like the release calendar has been completely scrapped and is being reworked with whatever guidance the executives have put forth. Just hoping it isn’t studio brass low key purging the series slate.

I think the WBD shakeups are certainly a big factor here but there are other things at play. There's an impending writer's strike that will likely mean a huge hole in every network/streamer's schedule around this time next year, especially if it stretches on into months, so I kind of get the impression some outlets are starting to ration their finished shows a bit. Also last year there was a huge dump of shows in the spring and a lot of them got lost in the shuffle, perhaps they don't want a repeat of that as it's already starting to get pretty crowded with content over the next month or two.

If I had to bet, I'd say white House Plumbers comes on end of April/early May in the Monday slot after Perry Mason ends. Succession/Barry will be on Sundays through the end of May and there's no reason for them to double up on Monday shows too. Being halfway through Succession/Barry and ending with a promo for a star-studded show premiering the next night seems like good marketing to me.

Yeah I feel the same. The jokes hit hard in the first season. Second season, a lot of it fell flat. It's like the structure for the jokes existed, but the punchlines had no oomph. And it feels rushed. Like they went to the Aaron Sorkin school of wpm script writing.

Does "My butterfly" from Scrubs count?

Basically the same day plays out differently because a butterfly landed on a different random person's chest. You see how each effect impacted the diagnosis of the same patient (on where lots goes wrong, one where lots goes right) but in the end the patient dies in both stories either way. Showing that even if you can do everything right, things can still go bad.

no no the problem with that is when the premise is stretched too thin it becomes unbearable because every episode ends on a cliffhanger because there's no resolution so it's a 'blue balls' situation.

Then you never go back and rewatch it because you can't just pick out one favourite episode - you have to watch the full season to get the payoff.
