And the Next Cancelled Show is...

- Start date
That's a shame I enjoyed series 1 and was hoping for more and I have just seen they have also cancelled the beginning of everything. That means I only have 2 shows left on there that I watch.
Cutting back on some programs to make room for other programs it seems. Apparently, Jeff Bezos wants a Game of Thrones hit on his network.
I think Transparent is amazing and he should be proud about that show alone. Ah, well.
Nope. The only show they announced was Te 50s Jewish comedian show, it got picked up for two seasons.
I watched two seasons of Transparent and I hate it. It's jumpy, I feel like the storylines just are chunky and not a flowing story. Plus there isn't a single character there I wouldn't want to die painfully. They are self centered assholes.
I still vote for a Rome-style, commoners-to-presidents epic on the American Civil War. Not only could it be great American history in its own right, but it could take on HBO's Confederate head-to-head, and, given how touchy the prospect of that series has proven, an actual Civil War series could be a big hit and damage/help kill a major HBO series.
As for "Tong Wars, a new historical drama set in the criminal underbelly of 19th century San Francisco": I dunno, sounds kind of like Boardwalk Empire/Deadwood: West Coast Version. As in, could be solid to great as drama, but it also sounds a bit been there, done that. Maybe they're hoping for a crossover hit with China? Didn't much work for Netflix's Marco Polo, but that might have been a hard sell to both American and Chinese audiences. (I've certainly never much wondered what the sex-and-violence story behind that kids' pool game was.)
I also tend to think that if they want a water-cooler show like Game of Thrones, they should release seasons a week/episode at a time a la Handmaid's Tale, rather than the full-dump model. It's hard to discuss the latest twists of a show like The Man in the High Castle when some have watched the whole season in its first weekend, and others are part-way through. The full season dump may have gotten Netflix some series novelty points, and now is part of their brand, but I see no reason why Amazon should consider themselves bound to the same model. If anything, it smacks of Follow the Leader.
Sweet! I love People of Earth! Best new comedy! 
Er, right. Still feels fresh to me. 
We are truly living in the darkest timeline.
I just think about the fact that nuclear war will break out before the first season ends. So take comfort in that!
Whose bright idea was that one?
