The day of the bubblegum show is over imo.
You can't have a bubblegum drama. this show is a drama, there can be funny moments in dramas but overall you should be involved.
im not saying it won't happen, just the first episode didn't do a good job of immediately liking or disliking the characters. and that's ultimately why people watch shows, cause of either love or hate for specific people on the show. if they're meh about everyone, it won't impact you if something happens.
available but not looked at.
i'd have tv back to nostalgia levels in no time just run them plots by me and run them characters by me.. and yall take it from there.
people's attention spans are LONGER believe it or not. they're coming back we need to be challenged.
so the whole wrap it up in 42 minutes shit is DONE.
why do we talk about the bridge, breaking bad, game of thrones, etc etc so much? cause the way it ends it gives us a full week to still be involved make predictions and wait to see what happens and then repeat the process...
shit is wrapped up in 42 minutes, 2 days after that the show is an afterthought then we gotta reboot and find a reason to care about this particular episode again
families don't watch tv monday nights at 8pm.
kids don't watch that on tv. they have dedicated channels now.
they need to go after the teen and twenties and put easter eggs in the episodes for the 30 and up + comic head crowd.
just from my observation you need to build you a cult FIRST.
if you build a cult you'll make it.
look at shows like south land, and other shows that had a cult following and the demand became so high another network picked them up.
His name will get him a full shot at a full season. but look at the top show on the network scandal.. they built themselves a cult following FIRST. and then after that it blew up, and NOW it's sitting pretty and anticipated. but they built it from the ground up.
Hopefully that's what they're doing with this show but you gotta give people a reason to care. being who he is isn't enough for the casual fan. and being who he is isn't enough to guarantee there will be 5 seasons of this show.. especially in the beginning of shows its always now or never.. i mean how many of us liked last resort and they pulled the plug.. or the river and boom axed.. flash forward... then NOPE no mas..
EVERYONE DOES lol that's the thing, arrogance is at play and being out of touch is too.
this whole black dude super hero should and could have been 2 episodes.
everybody is just Bam a part of the team ride off into the sunset.
how about instead of what went down, they took more time to explain centipede. and then took more time with the woman in the hospital as well...
how about we see the kids working on a way to stop him from blowing up and then from there he takes his boy to the aunts house vowing to return... he catches up with the hacker in the van. demands she erases his identity knocks out the agent and they leave.
go back to headquarters and they're working on finding out a way to stop him, the twins come up with it, the agent radios them and says the man came and took the hacker.. they get everything together, the twins say he only has 30 minutes before he blows up, then they track the van and it says they're heading to the train station... end of episode.
cgi is for the movies, drama is for the tv.
name your top 5 sci fi shows..
and then think about how much cgi was actually in them?
now think about how good the story lines were?
just write a good consistent story with characters that make you like or dislike them.. throw in a couple of special effects, it doesn't have to be overkill and call it a day
they need to let me save television..
Yea that's from 2013.
One day I'll make it I can't just be like this for no reason.
