Disagree on this. It is a shared Universe with Arrow and both did very well in terms of ratings. They also scored very high on rotten tomatoes compared to AoS which scored very badly. However, AoS likely to continue even if ratings becomes super chui.

paiseh, not sure wat the disagreement abt. :o

the flash will be renewed. gotham too. returning shows like arrow and m.a.o.s., me bo chap liao. my cancellation assessment is focused on new shows and based largely on feel. not ratings. and usually, my feel will equate to viewership. yes, sometimes there r exceptions like red band society and possibly scorpion. :s13:

btw, last year, me assessed dat m.a.o.s. would be renewed right from the start despite its so so tv quality.

Not sure why US remade UK series Broadchurch with the same cast. As if US don't have enough edgy crime thrillers already.

Never understood what the hype was about. This looked doomed from the start. The trailers only confirmed my suspicions.

actually, they don't. dat's y all the remakes, reboots and re-imaginations.

any kind of adaptation from another medium is usually hot potato.

Different media, different writers. Never mind the blond hair, the trenchcoat, these are all but superficial (I do not even care about the lack of chain smoking). The writers for Hellblazer were what made the real difference. There are good batman comics (frank miller, grant morrison), and there are crap ones (most of the rest). I'm not gonna blindly read all of them just because it's batman.

One can only survive on comic book hype for so long before one gets called out for how shallow one's series be.

The series always seemed more like an adaptation of the movie Constantine rather than of the graphic novel Hellblazer (in fact, the movie was based on a Garth Ennis plotline and was arguably a more faithful adaptation of the novel).

Having said that, US dramas/sitcoms have a tendency to last way beyond their expiry date. Constantine will probably drag on into Season Two. Gotham will probably last at least three seasons, as will The Flash. Sad but true.

must remember dat the writers will push as much as they can to stretch watever trashy stuff because if a show doesn't get renewed, they become jobless.

one thing me can't do is guess how many seasons a show will last. assessing cancellation or renewal of new shows, dat me can do. :o will hv a clearer picture on constantine's fate this saturday. gotham and the flash r sure renewals.



can't comment on constantine adaptation because me no read the comics.

potentially one seasoner

in comparison with homeland, it's easy to spot what's good tv and what's bad. sadly, this show is a mixed bag of everything good.

The "Friday night death slot" is a perceived graveyard slot in American television. It implies that a television program in the United States scheduled on Friday evenings (typically, between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. ET) is destined for cancellation.

The term possibly began as a reflection of certain shows' dominance of Friday night in the 1980s and 1990s, which condemned to death any television show scheduled opposite those programs.[1][2][3] Today, it reflects the belief that Americans rarely watch television on Friday or Saturday nights, thereby removing from the household the most lucrative demographic for advertisers.
