  1. HAHAHA Amy Seimetz literally has problems in every production she's involved in. Sam Levinson was already the showrunner so there was no shift in creative direction, just he maybe directed episodes that he wasn't slated to originally that's all. And how come you bring up his feature work as if they're anti-women or something by implying that it's a bad look for the director of those movies to "take over" his own show? Those movies were female led, badass roles that you rarely see in other "female-centric" stories. You forget that in TV showrunners call the shots, not directors. This was never the Amy Seimetz show, it was The Weeknd's and he disagreed with the director so they replaced her. TONS of male directors get replaced every year on episodics and they don't "doom" their shows just because they got canned. The main director/co-creator of House of the Dragon got replaced, why is that show now in your little list? Huh

  2. 7:00. many people thought that there wouldnt be any actor who could replace Christopher Eccleston as Dr Who after the (everywhere has a north) Dr left after just one season. and then we were given David Tennant as his replacement. and BOY did we get a Dr truly worth his weight in gold! until Matt Smith replaced David and then it was more of "David WHO?" (no pun intended). what im saying is that an actor can be replaced with another in the same role and in general and so long as the actor doesnt completely ruin the character, the audience will forgive the writer/director/cast member everything!

  3. As a fan of the games and books and Cavill I'm not watching The Witcher. Showrunners and writers for these kinds of shows must approach with humility the source material and fans.

  4. Out of all those listed the only one i can see being any good is Good Omens second season. I know it's on Netflix but given how long Red Dwarf and Blackadder went between seasons is the only real reason i give it a shot besides the acting chops involved of the main cast.

  5. The number one problem is Marvel making a series? They churn ‘em out like green screen is going stale!
    The problem that MCU geeks actually have is that it follows a strong female lead with a disability. The misogyny is palpable and they’re just itching to start whinging that it being “woke”. The fact that it’s doomed before it airs just goes to show that if Marvel don’t aim their content directly at 6 year old boys, it gets trashed purely on concept.

  6. How does a TV show that is a reimagining of a movie get automatically ruined by recasting the main cast from the movie? If it was a sequel it'd be true but it's a reboot. They don't always live up to the original but it doesn't mean that it makes them automatically bad because of that.

  7. Frasier was a spin-off of Cheers and only had Kelsey Grammer as a returning cast member… They're doing the same thing for this iteration. Might be ok.

    They keep trying to do a husband-wife spy thriller tv series… It never seems to work, but who knows?

    The fact that Christopher Walken isn't in The Continental is a bit of a miss.

  8. I'm glad you addressed True Lies as it looks godawful and recasting with non Caucasians probably just because is the biggest mistake ever in tv history along side the dramatic Fresh Prince reboot. Yeah sometimes it's just best not to reboot

  9. If Frasier isn't married to Charlotte and living happily ever after then that spoils the ending to the original. So I don't want to watch it. In Picard season two I did not feel the chemistry between seven and Raffi at all. I like character romances that work, like olicity and avlanche, but this one felt plot driven.

  10. Should I even be surprised that they didn't mention why Cavill left the Witcher? Because the showrunners are actively making the show "woke" out of hatred for the source material, and Cavill bailed rather than be a party to that.

  11. Echo was the dullest character in Hawkeye IMO. OTOH I’d watch the hell out of a show based solely on Linda Cardellini. Dip her in toxic waste or give have her bitten by a radioactive armadillo or some durn thing, I don’t care; I love her.

  12. No, another Disgusting Disney Disaster which shouldn’t be considered as anything to do with REAL Star Wars – since posting Disney has continued to travel up its own arse on a journey of ‘discovery’ 😵😵‍💫🤪

  13. You do realise Frasier was a spinoff that only brought Frasier along, no one else. Theres absolutely no reason to assume Kelsey Grammar and Nicholas Lyndhurst, two established comic actors, can't do it again.
