I think at this point they get more for each episode they produce just in syndication and streaming backend revenues than it costs to make the show. To say nothing of the actual ad/sponsor revenue the show generates when it actually airs. It's one of those shows that will keep going for as long as they can keep most of the creatives/cast together, and even then, they'll replace as many as they can before they actually let it die.SVU is still on the air?
Thanks for the heads up. I was about to give this a try. I don't even like The Good Place, I'm sure I'd hate something that was trying to be it. That thought The Good Place was something to aspire to.Kaos- This is try-hard hipster junk that doesn't know what genre it's supposed to be and is also a blatant ripoff of The Good Place.
I actually disliked Kaos so much I kept thinking about it quite a bit afterwards. There was just something really unoriginal and off that I couldn't quite put my finger on and it finally clicked the other day. The 1996 Romeo & Juliette, it's that mixed with The Happy Place. Except instead of all the modernized stuff being from 16th century England it's Greek Mythology. It's even got that flamboyant drag show level of fashion and camp.Thanks for the heads up.

I dunno. To me, it's overhyped to the same level and in the same way as the equally unwatchable Big Bang Theory.TGP is leagues more watchable than this smug dreck.
Oh I'm not saying it's a great or even good show (It's not as bad as BBT though) just that it's far more original and watchable than Kaos. It's definitely a low bar and Kaos is several notches below that.I dunno. To me, it's overhyped to the same level and in the same way as the equally unwatchable Big Bang Theory.
That's fucking depressing dude.My wife and I went through the entire Big Bang Theory through July right up to the last day of August. I'd cook dinner, she would finish work, then we'd sit down and watch a few episodes. It was bliss. It was living as a real life human being.
I am currently on the lookout for another whitebread show to watch with her.

Next it's going to be Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends.
I guess that's better than MILF Manor or 90 Day Fiancee or shit like that but not by much.
Saw this as a rec. I migth check it out.Sunny.
Apple TV.
You won’t be disappoint.

I'm so out of the loop with TV, last night I found out Futurama is back...and has been so since last year.
Yeah, I get that but like you said almost anything would be better.I think it’s acceptable for ‘Sage to watch some white ass Americana while Living in China.
They both come off as though they think they're a lot smarter than they are.This is a wild statement to me.
Absolutely wild.
I too wouldn’t touch Big Bang Theory with a ten-foot pole. But I think The Good Place is excellent.
To each their own, I guess.
AND his son. Who plays Kurt Russel's character in the past. I haven't seen this, and don't plan to get apple+ any time ever. But a little curious.Damn, Kurt’s in it?

Second season premieres in January.Watched the first couple episodes of Severance and found it enjoyable so far. I've always liked Adam Scott, he's a great everyman type and always comes across far more relatable than people like Paul Rudd that Hollywood is always forcing on us. The supporting cast is all really good as well. I really like the basic premise and general vibe of the show. It really conveys a nice sense of asphyxiating corporate sterility and office bureaucracy taken to the extreme, with a nice dash of nightmare inducing AI undertones thrown in for good measure. It's also really funny, the non-dinner dinner party scene was legitimately hilarious. I'll be interested to see where it goes and hopefully it'll get some sort of actual conclusion but I won't hold my breath since you know, it's a streaming series. There's nothing streaming services like doing more than canceling promising shows. Gotta make room in the slop chamber for the content machine.
