Okay, it's Netflix day at the winter TCA press tour, which means a whole bunch of announcements and release dates. The big one, however expected, is that Jessica Jones is renewed for Season 2.

Anyway, here's what the year looks like for Netflix so far (bold titles are new announcements):
  • Love (Judd Apatow-produced romantic comedy starring Paul Rust & Gillian Jacobs): February 19
  • House of Cards S4: March 4
  • Flaked (dramedy with Will Arnett as "a man doing his honest best to stay one step ahead of his own lies"): March 11
  • Daredevil S2: March 18
  • The Ranch (multi-cam sitcom with Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Elisha Cuthbert, Sam Elliot, and Debra Winger): April 1
  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt S2: April 15
  • Grace & Frankie S2: May 6
  • Orange is the New Black S4: June 17
  • Stranger Things (Winona Ryder stars in an ensemble mystery about a young boy's disappearance and the supernatural forces that may be behind it): July 15
  • The Get Down (mythic take on the rise of 70s soul music, created by Baz Luhrmann, produced by Shawn Ryan): August 12

I imagine The Wachowskis/Straczynski are gonna take their time developing the second season of Sense8, but I kinda wonder what's going on with Luke Cage and Bloodline.

Is that everything for the year or is there likely to be more?

I have no idea how long TV realistically takes to make, but is there any chance of Unfortunate Events hitting this year given that they're still in the casting stage?

Also, Ted Sardanos responded to NBC's callout by claiming that the 18-49 demographic is advertiser-driven, and therefore means nothing to Netflix. "Why would NBC use their lunch with you to talk about our ratings?" he asked during the executive session. "Maybe it's more fun than talking about NBC's ratings."

on a scale of 1 to 10 how self righteously antiestablishment is Mr. Robot. I really liked person of interest for managing to avoid that trope, and apparently Mr. Robot is fantastic, but the premise being "dude joins anarchist hactivist group" gives me some pause

It's obscenely antiestablishment for a very long time but in the final third of the season it reveals that all the antiestablishment hectoring was building to a more important point

It's not a story about dudes raging against the system even though it seems like one for a vast majority of the season. It's a story about how people perceive others and themselves, essentially a story about how every one of is is the star of the narrative that we author that is our life

So yeah, I sorta quit at episode 6 the first time because I sincerely thought that that's all mr. Robot wanted to say (because, to be fair, that's all it was saying) but the final three episodes brought me back on board

Dude you're misremembering how often Elliot rants in the first 3/4 of the season how deadened and superficial the people around him are and how he's the only one who Really Gets It, I mean seriously that's kinda the point of the final act, to juxtapose Elliot's constant holier-than-thou speechifying with the unpleasant reality of what happens

The show attempts to undercut Elliot's ranting with him going "but I'm dead inside so I'm not any better" but it's all very clearly him attempting to, badly, build a forced equivalence. Most of the season Elliot is steadfast that he's right and better than everyone else around him because he sees Evil Corp for what they really are, he's the only one speaking truth to power

This is my favourite thing about that:

quote:

The ratings estimates that NBC presented Wednesday were based on numbers from technology company Symphony, which measured TV viewership among a sample group using software loaded on to users’ phones that tracks viewership by capturing the soundtrack of the programs they watch.
Pulling those sorts of stats as a 'gotcha' comes across as pretty sad and out of touch.

I'd expect Luke Cage to hit a similar time in the year as JJ did last year. Daredevil's coming out almost bang on a year later and Marvel's production capabilities can only stretch so far

It was massively delayed for some reason and so they have the second season all ready already. They also joked that after the first season they have ten more seasons of one episode each.

Well, funny enough, a couple of top TV critics -- including Daniel Fienberg and Todd Van Der Werff -- claim they kinda dug the first episode or so without really elaborating. However, I started to get a picture of what they were responding to once someone pointed out that the show was co-created by Don Reo, the mad genius responsible for season 4 of the fox sitcom Til' Death.

I call him a mad genius, but I don't have any firsthand experience with that. I've seen one episode of Til' Death from its first season. I was one of those weird, lame college students who didn't know how to score any weed (still don't), so when I was bored, I looked to the TV. I turned on the series premiere because I liked Brad Garrett, and it was pretty much what you'd expect from a multi-camera sitcom about a middle-aged married couple. I ended up writing it off, and ultimately forgot that it existed...

...until I read this article, which laid out just how loving WHACKED the show had gotten in its 4th and final season. Seriously, if you don't know the poo poo they pulled, read about it.

Apparently afterwards he linked up with Two and a Half Men, but any show he creates I'm immediately curious about as a result of that article.

Is the first episode not a good indicator of the quality of the show? Because it was like someone saw Police Squad and tried really hard to imitate it but just didn't get what worked about it. I mean I love parody and I thought it was godawful. Which is a shame because it has a talented cast. It's just trying way too heard and forcing cliche jokes (the fake CSI intro) and repeating terrible jokes that didn't land the first time (the ridiculous faux Ford.com product placements).
