The teaser seems to suggest it's the same filmmaker with a different crime, where the suspect is the opposite of Dylan, a golden boy/girl.

BTW if you liked American Vandal because of its close satire, do not miss Documentary NOW, which is insanely good satire of a number of actual and famous documentaries.

Of course, I love women and wrestling and especially Allison Brie! The wait for season 2 has already been too long. e: Bend it Like Beckham isn't on Canadian Netflix and I am officially classifying this as a hate crime.

So Mark Halperin (who sucks as a journalist) has been accused of sexually assaulting at least five women during his time as head of ABC News. Most people probably know him best as the author of Game Change, about the 2012 election, and the HBO adaption of the book starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin. Well, they were going to make another miniseries about the 2016 election based on another Halperin book, and it would've been the second worst thing ever, only behind the actual 2016 election itself. Well no more

I mean that would work fine too because I'd just write a massive slave revolt that swiftly topples whatever failed backwater state a CSA would have been and murder all the slaveholders and then the show ends with an hour long loop of richard spencer getting punched in the face.

Would watch. There's so many actually good stories of things that actually happened during the Civil War that haven't been told. Why are people making TV shows what-ifing Confederate States in 2017 when we could have a miniseries about Robert Smalls, perhaps one of the biggest badasses of all time?

It's usually just some regional comics, a blogger, and maybe ONE rotating producer/star/writer is on every week. Not every kid star, the producer, both the duffer brothers, AND the Dean from community. Not watching, but drat. Channel Zero: No End House finale was pretty good. I didn't expect it to have the emotional punch that it did.

I have not heard a coherent argument against the concept of Confederate from someone that wouldn't equally apply to The Man in the High Castle, except for who is specifically running the adaptation (which is an executional criticism, not a conceptual one). I have not. If you think that Benioff or Weiss can't do a good job, I would say that known terrible loving writer Chris Chibnall was able to write at least one (I've heard series three is quite good as well) season of a TV series whose central examination was on the proliferation of pedophilia and rape culture in small towns in Broadchurch, and Benioff and Weiss are much much much better than Chibnall. So literally anything could happen. It might not, it probably won't, but that's where the criticism lies. But unless you went to the loving barricades as hard against Man in the High Castle as you did for Confederate I'm gonna label you a hypocrite.

I think there's nothing inherently wrong with the concept of Confederate. Bad timing, maybe, in the current political climate. My only real issue with the show is that D&D have more than proved they're not very subtle writers. But they very well could end up with a super good writer's room, so I'm holding any real judgment til the show airs.

Some more details have emerged about Lin-Manuel Miranda's adaptation of the fantasy novel series The Kingkiller Chronicles. Its going to air on Showtime and will not actually be a straight adaptation of the novels but a prequel set in the same universe. So divorced from the terrible main character of the series it might actually be watchable.

I think the idea is that if you present morally grey Confederate characters you end up giving a "hero" to those "I just want to take away the stigma from white supremacy" or just the general pro-Confederate folks. Mostly I think its just a case of bad timing. If Hillary Clinton was the President this wouldn't be a thing. If it had happened a year before the Confederate flags started coming down it wouldn't be a thing. They're running the Confederacy show right in the middle of a time when people are really passionate on both sides and like people have actually died over it. So it comes off a little sketchy, and borderline opportunistic. I don't think Man in the High Castle exactly translates the same way in America because like "Nazi's bad" is a basic social and political wall we have that is at least superficially holding. "Confederacy is bad" is not and is in fact something that your history book, neighbor, Senator, and President will dispute. For what its worth I'm not screaming for the show to get cancelled either. I just feel iffy about it. But like I'm not going to criticize the show or its showrunners until they've actually done something worthy of criticizing.

But like I'm not going to criticize the show or its showrunners until they've actually done something worthy of criticizing. This is essentially my point. If your criticism is that the D's wouldn't be able to handle the material well, I respect that, but that's an executional criticism that relies on the subject that's being criticized to exist before criticism can exist. If your criticism is that the D's shouldn't be allowed to handle the material at all, that's conceptual, and it's where I part ways.

I would imagine this show has been in some form of pre production since before the election, or at least before things got all crazy. It's just super unfortunate timing. Should be interesting to see how it all pans out, especially if the show ends up being good.
