I just watched the premiere of Watchmen on HBO, It was interesting I'm a sucker for alternative history stories, so the depiction of a drastically different America was right up my alley. I didn't like the Zack Snyder movie, but this show is clearly a different animal than that stylized mess.
I was really shocked to see a mainstream TV show depict the Tulsa Oklahoma Massacre, and it's going to be interesting to see a show that depicts Black America after receiving reparations.
 
Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up on HBO's galvanizing take on Watchmen. More than anything, though, this show is better than critics expected.

I've never read the comic (though I have it on Kindle). But, I loved the movie. It's one of my all time favorite superhero films. I kind of like the show. I really liked the beginning, though. People need to see that.

The trailer didn't sell me on it. So I didn't watch and seen a netflix movie instead. But a lot of people are raving about this first episode so I will check it out hopefully tonight!

Saw the first 3 episodes of Castle Rock last night and already it is scarier than the first season and as expect from the trailer...
Misery has come to Castle Rock and has let out Salem's Lot. The Marsten House and it's terrifying evil has made an appearance in episodes 2 and 3.

There's also some IT references. The one in the beginning is REAL subtle. You have to pay attention.

Good start. The actress(Lizzy Caplan) that's playing a young Annie Wilkes is killing(lol) it!
 
It's just been announced that Marvel's "Cloak & Dagger" has been cancelled:


https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/10/24/marvel-cloak-dagger-cancelled-two-seasons-freeform/
We already knew that the ax was falling on a lot of Marvel Television projects in the wake of Kevin Feige's takeover of the entire company. And now that executive Jeph Loeb is planning his exit from the company, some of his projects are starting to get cancelled from their network homes. Now we know that Marvel's Cloak & Dagger has been cancelled after sitting in limbo for months after the second season ended. There will not be a third season of the YA series coming to Freeform, but this is not the end of the characters' adventures in the Marvel Universe.

Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt will reprise their roles as Cloak & Dagger on the third season of Marvel's Runaways, set to premiere later this year, and they will also voice the characters in the animated Spider-Man series on Disney XD. But as far as their own adventures in their series goes, their time is at an end.

“We are so proud of Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger and the trailblazing stories this series told,” Freeform said in a statement. “We are also grateful to our incredible talent Oliva Holt and Aubrey Joseph for bringing these beloved characters to life, and showrunner Joe Pokaski for his vision. We’d like to thank our partners at Marvel Television for a wonderful two seasons and are we are hopeful that we can find another project together.”

Cloak & Dagger can be seen in the third season of Runaways which premieres on Hulu on December 13th.

Not surprising. They didn’t play up the romance portion enough, and it seemed like each season was going to tackle a different social justice issue. It’s unfortunate.

Yeah, we've talked about it in the past in the other thread. I was fine with how their relationship was trending, but the show was just boring & uninteresting compared to Marvel's "Runaways". I really wished the crew who produce "Runaways" also produced "Cloak & Dagger".

The romance was like watching paint dry.

Ehhhh.....In the 2 seasons of the show they were just close platonic friends. They hadn't quite gone in a romantic direction yet.
 
The CW is considering doing a "The 100" prequel spinoff series:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1187426318528286720
The CW is counting on more 100: The network has ordered a backdoor pilot for prequel spinoff set 97 years before the events of the original series. The The “planted pilot” would air as a regular episode of The 100 during the show’s upcoming seventh and final season, per our sister site Deadline.

Written by The 100 boss Jason Rothenberg, the potential series would begin in the aftermath of the nuclear apocalypse, and follow “a band of survivors on the ground as they learn to cope in a dangerous world while fighting to create a new and better society from the ashes of what came before.”

In discussing the decision to bring The 100 to an end, Rothenberg told TVLine over the summer, “We want to leave [the fans] wanting more. We don’t want to overstay our welcome. All the cliches. But [The CW wasn’t] ready to commit to that until late last week when I got a call from Mark. He’s been great the whole time about respecting showrunners. He really does give us enough rope to hang ourselves with, so we will now attempt to not do that.”

The 100‘s 16-episode Season 7 will bow next year.

Entertainment Weekly: Batwoman and Nancy Drew Get Full Season Orders @ the CW
10/25/2019


The CW is going all in with both of its new fall TV shows.

Batwoman and Nancy Drew have been picked up for full season orders. Both shows will get back-nine orders, bringing the series’ first seasons to 22 episodes each.

And for the first time, the CW owns full in-season streaming rights to all new series starting this season. That means every episode of Batwoman and Nancy Drew will exclusively stream on the CW’s digital platforms the day after they air throughout the entire season, so viewers can catch up at any point on CWTV.com and the CW app for free, without authentication, subscription, or log-in required. In past years, only a few episodes have been available to stream on Hulu, which precluded catching up on the entire season for free.

Nancy Drew is delightfully entertaining. I don't see this kind of show as a 20+ episode kind of show. Imo I see it as around 15-16 because of the content and how the story plays out. Hopefully they'll make it work though.

"Veronica Mars" worked as 22-episode a season show & that's the show "Nancy Drew" reminds me of.

I’ll take a look at Nancy Drew. I’ll pass on Batwomyn.

I seen the first episode and I didn't get any appeal to her. But I really didn't connect with The Batwoman Comic. I liked The Huntress better.

I'll try one more episode before rendering my final verdict but I just wasn't feeling that first episode.
