Well, creator wrote on Twitter that WB is shopping it around, so we'll see.
WB is probably still shopping it around, that's the last I heard of it.
Watched the Mr. Robot pilot. I was intrigued and will definitely be watching it when it finally airs.
Kind of wish they didn't put it up quite so early. It's a weird cliffhanger at the end, and a month until we can see episode 2.
My only concern is that it feels like something that would work better as a limited series with a clear endgame in mind as opposed to an on-going.

That's a shame. Really enjoyed it.

No one on GAF is talking about it, as far as I know, but here's some reviews if you're curious to see what critics are saying.
Seen the first 4 or 5 episodes. It's okay. Surprisingly they did good on the period-part, the cast is solid. Manson... well I like the actors performance to be honest (It's King Renly of GoT-fame), but haven't seen other Manson-work tocompare it to. Overall it drags quite a bit though. Told without much energy.

I just couldn't deal with Ascension's dumb twist and bailed immediately after it.
If it ended up being decent, I'm glad to hear it, but I was just completely turned off by that revelation.

There actually is an OT for it, I wasn't sure of it was just me imaging things or if it actually existed until I searched for it. It has five replies. So yeah, it isn't really talked about.
It ended up being really fucking stupid with (end spoilers)
a magical space child thrown in for "good" measure.

It's all well and good to have a plot twist that completely upends a series' premise.
Unless, of course, the "fake" premise is significantly more interesting than the real one.

Yeah. I still enjoyed it, but the twist was like a powerful gut punch to a show, that took all the air out of it's lungs.
I quite enjoyed the first episode of Aquarius despite the fact that nothing actually happens in the pilot. There is no 'inciting incident' to kick off the whole series. No major event or obstacle that the protagonists have to overcome.
At the end of the pilot there isn't really anything that has changed in everyone's world. No
huge deaths
massacre
major crime
Mason is portrayed as a creepy and dangerous man but nothing 'world shaking' in terms of the evil deeds he can or will commit. The whole thing just felt really inert.
I might give the second episode a chance but it didn't blow my socks off.
Ascension literally had the worst twist I've ever seen in a film, TV show, book..., anything you can think of.
The twist killed off any dramatic tension the show might have had moving forward, it's as if the writers/producers wanted to deliberately sabotage their own show. I actually really liked the concept and thought that it could have been a really interesting 'bottle show' that could mix sci-fi and soapy elements.
In short Ascension is a show that worked on paper and nowhere else.
Dreadful.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Everyone here is talking how bad Ascension's twist was; as someone who's never watched the show, I'm curious on what said twist is.
Go to its Wikipedia page and read the description for the first two episodes. You'll discover what the twist it.
As Busty said, it sounds great on paper. They must have really botched it though, considering how many people here seem to dislike it.

Lifetime's new drama "UnReal" is actually getting some pretty good reviews. So.
The commercials have interested me and I'll be checking it out tonight on Showcase here in Canada. It's actually simulcasting (trimulcasting?) on Lifetime/Showcase/Slice here in Canada.
I gotta say, I thought Unreal was really fucking good. Imperfect, but thoroughly engrossing and engaging with the subject matter on a much deeper level than expected.
Also, Ascension is the type of show that sounds like something BOLD in when you buy it, and then you have to make it.

I tried watching a bunch of trailers and reading some previews. I still have no clue what it is.
It was a lot of fun for me and it's now how I feel the real Bachelor is behind the scenes. I loved both of Shiri Appleby's and Constance Zimmer's characters. I hope this does well enough for Lifetime to stick around for a while and maybe do a Bachelorette-esque season.

It was pretty good I thought. Excited to see some more.

watched it for precious milo.
Was a above average episode 1. So creepy and such, I hope it gets a second season as I dont see how we could get all the answers in the first season.
Also #TeamDrill.
It's basically a show about "Why do we like to watch a women tear each other down?" I dunno. Everything about it was so much better than it needed to be.

At this point I wouldn't put it past them to say "fuck it, why not," but I also wonder how much money they'd be willing to spend on it. Maybe they wait and see how X-Files is received?
I am glad to see American network television generally embracing the event series model. A little 24 ever couple of years? Works great in the summer time.
Wait, what? So they're going to (prison break spoilers lol)
retcon Michael's death? It was really poor and forced, plus it's not the first time they brought someone dead back, but still lol?
Still makes more sense than that ending.

Revolution got a comic to wrap up the story.
Plus what can get revivals are popular shows. Also those that eventually lost their viewers, but at least at some point were really big. So even though it breaks my heart, I doubt I will ever get a Millenium revival
With Pixar's Inside Out coming out it's time for Fox to bring back Herman's Head.

My god I would cry tears of joy. That show started off so amazing, and then went totally batshit insane. I would love to see it come back. Sucks that it will never happen though.
That's the best.
My dad would be so happy. He really liked that show and was upset when Fox killed it.
