I was trying to describe Severance to my wife this morning (she’s never watched any of it), and she pointed out the biggest mystery of all: how did this show get a green light? I’m not upset that it did, it just doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that anybody would take a risk on. I guess being in the Apple “safe space” helps.

I find the premise terribly interesting, and unlike 95% of the movie industry, modern television has a lot of room and appetite for interesting series ideas. I think someone would’ve greenlit the show even if it wasn’t Apple, but I think it fits best on Apple.

The lady who plays Helly confirmed that it was Helly that Mark left with.
How am I only just now seeing this?

Speaking of Sci-Fi, did I hear right that Mandalorian S4 was cancelled and they are making the Mando/Grogu movie (that just wrapped filming and will be released in a year) instead? Goodness, I hope not.

Either he’s an absolute dogshit character, or Disney did him dirty.
The show seems to be fading out.
For those who have watched the Severance finale, this was just too good:

Color me intrigued.
I’ve read these books, and they’re somewhat entertaining (however, the wokeness will trigger some folks). But I’m not sure that they’ll translate easily to video. I guess we’ll find out.
Daredevil Born Again E8
Spoiler
Does Disney really think that we’re worried that Matt is going to die?
I’ve read and very much enjoyed the first four or five novellas. I don’t remember any wokeness.
Watching the preview, there’s so much they can do with this story. The stupidity and pettiness of humanity is a gold mine of potential.

Apparently the viewership numbers for Daredevil: Born Again are worse than Agatha All Along, which I liked but was considered a bomb.
Is there anything Disney can’t fuck up? I mean, they just totally shit the bed with Snow White [insert Walking Dead meme here].
Hopefully not Andor

The previews look really good. We’ll see.
I’m pretty sure that, when they wrote Daredevil: Born Again, that they had no idea how prescient it would be.

It is Andor day! I am guessing the first 3 episodes will drop at 9pm Eastern this evening.

Just started S2 E1 and the opening is pretty damn good. Right up to the commercials.
