As someone who saw the first three episodes, how is this possible? Can someone explain the basic premise of the show in seasons 2-4 in spoilers to me?

The focus has shifted from the titular affair to the repercussions of infidelity on those around it. So it's basically a cable drama that follows that web of people. There's a murder mystery element in the first two seasons as well.

Season 1:

Man and woman have an affair, their lives and the lives of their families are torn apart. + police investigation into a murder that one of the mains committed because of reasons.

Season 2:

The couple that had an affair are now divorced from the people they were married to in season one and are now married to each other. The 2 perspective angle from season 1 is expanded to 4 (to include their exes). This season mainly deals with the ramifications of the affair and how everyone is trying to move on with their lives. The murder mystery is solved.

Season 3:

Season 3 picks up several years later, after the guy who took the fall for the murder (he didn't actually do it though. and it wasn't really a murder. it was a weird series of contrived accidents that 3 of the 4 main characters were involved in) gets out of prison. Also, the two people that had an affair are no longer together (they had a falling out for reasons that I forget) and have only shared about 1 episode's worth of screen time in 7 episodes. This season so far has almost exclusively centered around Dominic West's character - after he gets out of prison, he becomes paranoid and starts to hallucinate Evil Brendan Fraser, a cruel guard who tormented him in prison.

The other characters are just trying to live their lives (while engaging in your typical domestic drama - custody battles and more affairs and the like), but the Dominic West side of things plays more like a paranoid thriller.

They also added yet another POV character for some reason, even though the show has almost completely abandoned the whole "same events, different perspectives" thing from the first season (season 2 was also pretty light in this regard).

Yeah, they seem to understand that Netflix matters these days. People flock to some shows after they've binged it there. I'm convinced that's the secret to the longevity of Grey's Anatomy.

Really happy to see them keep some shows around because it improves the overall image of the network too. Very forward thinking. Now renew iZombie before people start mailing jello brains to their offices.

They also have their CW app where you can watch all their stuff for free without a cable subscription on like every platform (except PS4, depressingly).

Grays Anatomy is still on the air? I remember the joke on a early Scrubs season, and thats been dead for like 45 years
 
One new episode of Odd Couple sandwiched among a bunch of repeats? I guess CBS really doesn't care about that show.

Yes, and it's one of ABC's highest-rated shows.

I caught up on Colony on netflix. I enjoyed it for the most part.

How did it end up doing in the ratings?
Click to expand...
It actually did reasonably well by USA standards when you factor in the DVR/on-demand numbers. Second season starts this week and will be 13 episodes. Sober is making a thread.
 
rewatching Brookling 99 recently. Its like my third time now. I used to do that a lot a few years ago with shows, I rewatched them like once a year, just some shows really hit with me, what can I say. X-Files and Friends spring to mind. Also the first couple of seasons of Community. Then I eventually get bored and never watch them again.

I would totally binge re-watch Parks and Rec if it was on my region's netflix tho.

Has anyone been watching The Good Place? I'm a sucker for Kristen Bell anyway, but I really like this show. Just made a joke about some show airing on BBC for the last 16 years. Had nearly 30 episodes.

I assume it will be canceled since I like it and I never hear anyone talk about it.
 
dat corporate synergy

Also, any news on the Inhumans show? It's supposed to premiere this September right? With "cinema quality" effects? I bet it gets delayed (or the effects end up being not so "cinema quality").

Ratings are good not great and critical notice is good not great, it's somewhat safe. I think a lot of people here watch and like it.

Jane the Virgin hardly gets better ratings. It got a 0.37 average last season, versus Crazy Ex's 0.3. They both get renewed for the same reasons: critical darlings produced by CBS, that also do good on online platforms.

Jane has a full episode count, it was always getting a 4th season. It's worth a lot more.

There's an OT for it. I hated that British show joke. It's at least the third time I've heard it.

Join us in the official thread. I'm a watcher. The humor usually catches me off guard so it gets more laugh out of me than a standard sitcom which has more predictable setups and payoffs.

I swear, BBC watchers must be the most patient humans. I never noticed the waits when I was a kid cause PBS would just show them years after they'd aired. Waiting 3 years between Sherlock seasons has made it abundantly clear for me now.
 
I hope we hear casting news from Cloak and Dagger today, or else I doubt filming will start next month but let's see.

Yeah, I can't wait for the Inhumans castings to get underway.
 
Boy, if even SHIELD lives on, we truly live in the age where anybody but the DCEU can succeed.

It only got a second and a third season for the same reasons though. And will get a fifth for that one as well.
 
I know you guys are joking about the ratings, but hasnt this season of agens of shield been relly good and a 5th season would be good news?
 
I dunno about the quality of this season, I stopped watching midway through the second half last season and have not felt any reason to go back.

Quality of a show and ratings are two separate issues and this thread is defined by its dispassion for the former.

thats not what the vibe Im getting in the OT

I wouldn't use the vibe of an OT to gauge the health of a show in either direction as a general rule. AoS, for example, has slipped into diehard, easy-to-please-fan territory. It has relatively low levels of activity spread out over a small number of posters. The show returned from break tonight and it generated about 3 pages of discussion. If you quickly skim through it, you'll notice it's mainly the same 6 people talking to each other.
