According to sources, a timing issue, related to the production start delays because of the coronavirus pandemic made it impossible for the show to be ready for a fall launch when the network had scheduling needs for the 2020-21 season. As a result, the network made a decision to not move forward with the previously commissioned new season. <br> <br>The series, which films in Los Angeles, had not started production when the call not to go with Season 2 was made.

<br />
Hey All,<br />
<br />
As you know each year we try to see how good your prediction skills are in determining which shows will be renewed and which ones will be cancelled.<br />
<br />
You can see how we did <a href="https://www.spoilertv.com/2019/08/spoilertv-readers-cancellationrenewal.html">last season here</a>. (You got 82.5% correct)<br />
<br />
So we're going to be running a series of polls asking you what your predictions are for next season. For the remaining networks, polls will be posted during the course of the next week or so.<br />
<br />
We have a poll for each of the shows airing on ABC next season. For each show you can choose whether you think it will be renewed or cancelled.<br />
<br />
So vote below and let us know in the comments which shows you hope will be renewed, and which ones you think will be cancelled.<br />
<br />
<b>NOTES</b><br />
- All of these polls will remain open until the 6th September 2020.<br />
<br />
- Obviously due to Covid-19 and the shutdown of filming, we don't have any promos, artwork or release dates for the majority of the new shows (some may not even air until late next year). So you'll have to go with your gut and the show synopsis :)<br />
<br />
- United We Fall has been included in the off chance it gets renewed.<br />
<br />
The following will not be included in the Poll<br />
<br />
Agents of SHIELD - In its Final Season<br />
<br />
If you think we've missed a show or made some mistake, please let us know in the comments below.<br />

<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">What show has surprised you?</div></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eFOO7KjHksU/XpSwZ7SE0HI/AAAAAAAAeiM/e1XcKnKGqrwh5I6MeEBptXljyp9lDTzxgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/SJM-L-ZOEY-0214-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eFOO7KjHksU/XpSwZ7SE0HI/AAAAAAAAeiM/e1XcKnKGqrwh5I6MeEBptXljyp9lDTzxgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/SJM-L-ZOEY-0214-01.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><b>Luana:</b> <i>Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist</i>, I did not expect so much emotion and depth in what looked like just a fun little show.<br />
<br />
<b>Alejandra:</b> <i>Hannibal</i>, I recently started watching it but I was kind of on the fence about watching it because of the whole cannibalism aspect, but the show is one of the best and has so many good aesthetic shots I am in shock every single episode.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> While I haven't watched since season 3 was released in December, <i>The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel</i> was so much better than I had expected. I'm always picky about comedies, which is one reason I had put this show off for so long, but '<i>Mrs. Maisel</i>' is surprisingly a wonderful period dramedy that had so much to offer!<br />
<br />
<b>Sarah:</b> <i>All Rise</i> surprised me, I thought I'd end up dropping it after two or three episodes but I really enjoyed the show. I've kept it on my schedule and even though I've fallen behind, I'm still keeping track of the show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lpPOMaF6fTc/XpSyC6q6CVI/AAAAAAAAeic/HLoHFfEucOkwvGkAfNMewlsCgJ9zogTIACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/merlin_158606955_d147d142-ef3e-4580-8700-03968bef3727-superJumbo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lpPOMaF6fTc/XpSyC6q6CVI/AAAAAAAAeic/HLoHFfEucOkwvGkAfNMewlsCgJ9zogTIACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/merlin_158606955_d147d142-ef3e-4580-8700-03968bef3727-superJumbo.jpg" width="320" height="213" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><b>Prpleight:</b> <i>Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist</i>. I was expecting something vapid. What I got was something deep and thoughtful.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> <i>For All Mankind</i>. I started watching this show with my dad because he loves space-related stuff but I had seen very little buzz about this show so I went into it with very little expectations. I haven't watched the finale yet (watching that next weekend) but every episode so far has been really impressive.<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> <i>Jane the Virgin</i>. It was smart, funny, clever, emotional. Great acting and writing and totally not what I was expecting. I actually watched it expecting a train wreck and fell in love with it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vAM_h4n7o7U/XpSy9JXp0dI/AAAAAAAAeio/Xm7_e7Mt_KwLJWozdVzp1hNUFhdg8cSmgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/mgm-TV_TeenWolf_S502-Full-Image_GalleryBackground-en-US-1483993179637._RI_%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vAM_h4n7o7U/XpSy9JXp0dI/AAAAAAAAeio/Xm7_e7Mt_KwLJWozdVzp1hNUFhdg8cSmgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/mgm-TV_TeenWolf_S502-Full-Image_GalleryBackground-en-US-1483993179637._RI_%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" height="180" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="900" /></a></div><b>Giulia:</b> <i>The Morning Show</i>. I was pretty excited to see it because I was happy to finally see Jennifer Aniston play a major role in a major TV show. She deserves all the recognition that she's getting because she's just fire in this. I did not know what to expect, but it was a surprise for me. The show tackles important issues with intelligence and gravitas and I feel like it's a great binge-worthy show.<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> I wasn’t sure if this was for the current year or all-time so I did both. This was a good year for new TV for me. Many shows pleasantly surprised me. Of the new dramas, I was really surprised at how quickly <i>Prodigal Son</i>, <i>Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist</i>, and <i>Stumptown</i> grabbed me. They each have great characters and quick pacing. For comedies, my favorites have been <i>Perfect Harmony</i>, which surprised me because it had a lot more heart than I expected, and <i>Bob Hearts Abishola</i>, even though its focus is romance and that’s not usually my thing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-surCZAW2r6A/XpSzQXNvQBI/AAAAAAAAei0/si5dCaKqIDsBg98_VKZdKUnxD6ln1vPzwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image.webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-surCZAW2r6A/XpSzQXNvQBI/AAAAAAAAei0/si5dCaKqIDsBg98_VKZdKUnxD6ln1vPzwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/image.webp" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><i>MacGyver</i> has pleasantly surprised me this year too. It was starting to feel stale, but with the introduction of Russ Taylor, it’s gotten back some of its magic. However, if we’re talking about the show that surprised me most of all time, it’s got to be <i>Teen Wolf</i>. I was convinced that I would hate it. It was about teens and werewolves and teen romance. Plus, it was on MTV. I’m almost 30 years past their target demographics. After putting off watching it for more than a year, I decided to try it and the pilot sucked me right in. <i>Teen Wolf</i> reminds me that you can’t judge a show by its network.<br />
<br />
<b>Alison:</b> <i>Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist</i> surmised me. I judged a show by its promo and wrote it off as definitely not my thing. I doubted the show's ability to incorporate the songs in a way that wouldn’t seem intrusive or superfluous. One episode in and I was proven wrong. I ending up bingeing all the available episodes. It was the emotional depth and truth that surprised me, as well as the balance between the light and dark moments. It’s beautifully done and the cast is exceptional.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé:</b> <i>Prodigal Son</i>. I love that show. I'm obsessed.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">What show ultimately disappointed you?</div></div><br />
<b>Luana:</b> <i>The Sinner (III)</i>, the season finale was disappointing but because it had too much potential it didn't fully live up to. I did enjoy it, but if the ending had been just a little bit different, it would've been an amazing season instead of just a good one. Feels like they've gone a little soft and I have no idea why.<br />

<br />
<b>Laura:</b> <i>Fleabag</i>. I know, unpopular opinion! I barely got through the first season, but everything about it just made my skin crawl. It's just not my kind of humor, at least not as a centerpiece. I guess I just like a little more whit and less grunge from my British characters!<br />
<br />
<b>Sarah:</b> <i>Treadstone</i>, sadly, disappointed me and it was one of the show I reviewed. The story was okay but it took forever to bring characters together and the ending of the series was rushed after building it for several episodes.<br />
<br />
<b>Prpleight:</b> <i>Supernatural's</i> final season. I loved the show when it started. But the retcon of Chuck, was the beginning of the end for me. I finally removed the show from my DVR timer list. Too many episodes were frustrating and, frankly, annoying. The writing had been feeling lazy for a while. It began to feel like they were killing off every guest character the fans liked, just to do it. But, ultimately, they brought so many characters back from the dead that there were no longer any emotional stakes with any death.<br />
<br />

I really did. But the writers were reveling in the elements that made be stop recording it. What I was seeing of the story set up for the season made little sense. I am really disappointed.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> <i>The Walking Dead</i>. I started watching this with my brother. We were both really curious because there's so much buzz about this show. We even started the spin-off <i>Fear The Walking Dead</i>. We're 7 seasons into TWD now and honestly just watching because we both don't like leaving things unfinished. The storytelling is so slow. I've heard that it gets better in season 9, I really hope this is true. But I'm noticing a similar pattern with FTWD and we're only on season 3 there. I definitely will not be watching the new show.<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> <i>Supernatural</i>. I loved the Kripke years. I even wrote my Master's Thesis on the show! I've written a ton of fanfic about it, done the conventions..... and hoped and hoped that they'd finally get another showrunner who could do it justice. I've never missed an episode - I've got the reviews to prove it. Every now and then, they even still have a good episode - but never a successful season arc. This final season has been the biggest let down yet. I'm not even all that fussed that we may never get those final two episodes. TBH, I'd love to see them bring Kripke back and do a 2-hour movie to finish it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jwW9NQgz5X8/XpS0Va2QRiI/AAAAAAAAejM/cwPiDxwHygsvtmGq7lnMlQA_E6r9N35WgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/7FYSNATCJZAGRFYIU7TWNSTJYI.webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jwW9NQgz5X8/XpS0Va2QRiI/AAAAAAAAejM/cwPiDxwHygsvtmGq7lnMlQA_E6r9N35WgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/7FYSNATCJZAGRFYIU7TWNSTJYI.webp" width="400" height="286" data-original-width="1280" data-original-height="914" /></a></div><b>Dahne:</b> The new show that disappointed me the most was <i>Carol’s Second Act</i>. There were plenty of new shows that I did not like, but I usually enjoy Patricia Heaton so I had high hopes for this one. In the end, I couldn’t stand Carol as a character and by the third episode, I had to drop it. But nothing compares incomplete TV suckiness that was the downfall of <i>Sleepy Hollow</i>. For a show with such a dynamic first season, it redefined terrible later on.<br />
<br />
<b>Alison:</b> Sometimes too much is too much. <i>Roswell: New Mexico</i>’s Season 2 feels like too much but also too little. There are so many storylines this season, and while it is possible they will all be beautifully and masterfully woven together as the season progresses, it seems hard to believe. On top of that, large chunks of time are missing between episodes and it’s given the season a disjointed feeling, but it also robs the audience because characters are being marched forward, sometimes uncharacteristically, in service of the many plots. All of this means, scenes that should payoff emotionally feel either unearned or unclear. There are some wins though. The flashbacks to 1947 are compelling and tie into Michael, Isobel, and Max’s origin story. Isobel (Lily Cowles) away from Max and Michael has finally been freed from their hovering overprotectiveness that stifled her agency. It’s been a welcome change from her always the victim storylines. Cowles does a fantastic job playing Isobel’s pain, but it’s good to see her becoming the master of her own fate. Michael (Michael Vlamis) and Alex (Tyler Blackburn) remain the emotional center of the show. The moments they’re together always land because the two actors possess an incredible natural chemistry, and it’s the looks that pass between them and their body language that make it impossible to look away. I want more of the good things and less running over characters while racing towards a season finale.<br />
<br />
<b>Naomi:</b> I enjoyed <i>Legacies</i> so much last season, but this season is very slow-moving and definitely not as interesting. I still love Lizzie, Josie, and Hope, but something is off.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">What show do you think people have dismissed but should give it a second chance?</div></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7XC9KYzwi00/XpS0nQ7UDGI/AAAAAAAAejY/Q9h7PN4tZHsDqnYLimae8uwl7ZXbfTquQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IASIP_1301_0370r.0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7XC9KYzwi00/XpS0nQ7UDGI/AAAAAAAAejY/Q9h7PN4tZHsDqnYLimae8uwl7ZXbfTquQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/IASIP_1301_0370r.0.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" /></a></div><b>Luana:</b> <i>Dietland</i>, there's just one season but the ending worked well enough for me. If you don't like feminism and body positivity this isn't for you, but otherwise, there's a lot more to the show. It's thrilling and satiric, it has depth but it's also so much fun, I hope more people give it a shot as a quick binge.<br />
<br />
<b>Alejandra:</b> <i>It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia</i>, sometimes the humor and the first season makes it hard to get into but the show, in general, is really funny and I think people should watch later seasons for the good content.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> <i>Evil</i>. Not that it didn't get a lot of attention, but I think there is an audience out there for it that isn't necessarily a strong horror fan. Like all of the Kings' previous work, <i>Evil</i> is uniquely creative in its approach to the subject matter and the Kings & Co. are writing it just as smart and slightly off-kilter as ever! But over all it isn't just it's creative execution to the horror genre or its brilliant writing, it also has a great cast with good character dynamics that are really the vessel that's driving the show!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hI4MLssJQco/XpS0w0CPhkI/AAAAAAAAejc/yrrBWea9yU8oas0hI62esgomUUhw965IgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hI4MLssJQco/XpS0w0CPhkI/AAAAAAAAejc/yrrBWea9yU8oas0hI62esgomUUhw965IgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/image%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" height="225" data-original-width="1280" data-original-height="720" /></a></div><b>Sarah:</b> I'd say <i>Stumptown</i>, it's not great ratings-wise but I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The cases are cool and the main characters have good chemistry between them. I hope it gets renewed, I believe it deserves it.<br />
<br />
<b>Prpleight:</b> I think I'm going to pick <i>Siren</i> This one was a surprise. Mermaids are real. I love the design of the mermaids in the show. I like the characters. The writers didn't always take the story in the stereotypical path. During the first couple of seasons, I was cheering for the show to get a larger order because it was evident that some good story was being skipped over because of the order count. In season 3 the stories are getting better.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> The only thing I can think of is <i>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D</i>. I know a lot of people dropped it early season one but it really picks up towards the end of the season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KIDNNRE4wHs/XpS1Lc7W9NI/AAAAAAAAejo/cENML9NO3XM1Bc_H-k2jZqrHcG2xSRZCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/151022_3152.0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KIDNNRE4wHs/XpS1Lc7W9NI/AAAAAAAAejo/cENML9NO3XM1Bc_H-k2jZqrHcG2xSRZCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/151022_3152.0.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="800" /></a></div><b>Lisa:</b> See one above! <i>Perfect Harmony</i> - it's like <i>Glee</i> for adults - also funny. <i>Stumptown</i> - Cobie Smulders is awesome in it - and it's nice to see a woman holding her own in the lead. <i>Tommy</i> - Edie Falco is great and the dialogue and action are usually both fast-paced and smart.<br />
<br />
<b>Giulia:</b> <i>Insecure</i>. I wouldn't say that people have dismissed it, but I would like for more people to watch it. It is such an entertaining, smart, well-written and acted show. Issa Rae is a genius, in my opinion. This show needs to be talked about more.<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> Of all the new shows I watch, the one I hear trashed the most is <i>Bob Hearts Abishola</i> and I’m not sure why. The pilot was a little rough but all shows have growing pains. As an anti-shipper, I was prepared to hate it but I love how unique the main characters are. It’s unusual and diverse and it has a lot of heart. Plus, it’s willing to touch on some issues that aren’t as common in comedy like how religion affects a relationship.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7P1GTxXBQUM/XpS1ZKfuVYI/AAAAAAAAejs/mhAaNvwVAJcDV5y9w9aKlFH_O0uyw7hhgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/bha_sp_hero_landscape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7P1GTxXBQUM/XpS1ZKfuVYI/AAAAAAAAejs/mhAaNvwVAJcDV5y9w9aKlFH_O0uyw7hhgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/bha_sp_hero_landscape.jpg" width="400" height="225" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="900" /></a></div><b>Zoé:</b> This might be a cliché, but <i>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D</i>. So many people dismiss it because the first few episodes were a bit slow. But it transforms into one of the craziest, most interesting shows out there.<br />
<br />
On another note, <i>Prodigal Son</i>. There's not a huge buzz around it, but it's such a good show with a great story. It's also new, so the word hasn't gotten around. It gets better and better every episode. I highly recommend it.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader"><i>Superstore</i> is going to go on without America Ferrera while <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> decided to end instead of continuing without Alex O’Laughlin. What do you prefer shows to do in the event that happens?</div></div><br />
<b>Luana:</b> I think it depends on the show and its ability to continue writing engaging stories and how much of the weight of the whole show is actually on the star.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhMUUXCttqE/XpS1vTfuxmI/AAAAAAAAej0/oyg_z9JRvmwJFasmYDf2mmW8azb_rEAiQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/superstore-america-news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhMUUXCttqE/XpS1vTfuxmI/AAAAAAAAej0/oyg_z9JRvmwJFasmYDf2mmW8azb_rEAiQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/superstore-america-news.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1068" /></a></div><b>Alejandra:</b> It depends, but I think when a character that iconic like in the case of Amy in <i>Superstore</i>, I feel it's better to end its run now instead of continuing. But there are cases where continuing works, like in the case of <i>The Office</i> after Steve Carell left, the last seasons were really funny as well. I guess it all depends on the cast you have left.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> It depends. I think there are shows where main characters can be switched out and the show still works, but there are surely those shows where the lead or leads are what make the show, or even simply, the story what is and doing anything else might as well be a spin-off.<br />
<br />
<b>Sarah:</b> Hmm, well it depends on the show, in <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> case, I'm glad they finished it when Alex decided to leave. I don't believe anyone would have enjoyed it nearly as much and the show would have been a shadow of its former self. I've never seen Superstore so I can't say if the decision to keep going is a good or bad one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-maUsTfh3zLs/XpS182Z26_I/AAAAAAAAej8/DKs0VbV9NS4N1tsbYDBA6-04qUkaykr6QCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IK4ANUUOSZDAVE26SNACU76HMA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-maUsTfh3zLs/XpS182Z26_I/AAAAAAAAej8/DKs0VbV9NS4N1tsbYDBA6-04qUkaykr6QCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IK4ANUUOSZDAVE26SNACU76HMA.jpg" width="320" height="217" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="815" /></a></div><b>Prpleight:</b> It depends, strongly, on the show. There's a lot more involved than just one actor. Does the show have more fresh stories to tell? Can they tell these stories with changes to the cast, while keeping the story quality high? <i>Teen Wolf</i> crafted a pretty good story, after learning that Dylan O'Brien wouldn't be available for the bulk of their final 2 seasons. <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> had other issues to deal with other than Alex O'Laughlin's desire to move on. Scott Caan's desire to work in LA. And it had begun to feel as though the writers were struggling to have something for the entire ensemble to do each episode, so it ending the series run feels like a good idea.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> I don't watch <i>Superstore</i> so I don't know how it'll impact that show. But when it comes to <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> I think it was the right call. Honestly, I rarely come across a positive example of when a show continued on without the lead. <i>Vampire Diaries</i> definitely did not improve, nor did <i>Once Upon A Time</i>. It worked on <i>Vikings</i>, I guess. But that's because I believed it was planned from the start.<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> It really depends on the show. I feel bad for the rest of the cast when one person leaves and they all lose their jobs, but sometimes, that one person really is the heart of the show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5YbetuAbLFA/XpS2KkKBSiI/AAAAAAAAekE/DiuI5ydzkHAWgpnI9SKg5flnsse6igAcwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/superstore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5YbetuAbLFA/XpS2KkKBSiI/AAAAAAAAekE/DiuI5ydzkHAWgpnI9SKg5flnsse6igAcwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/superstore.jpg" width="320" height="213" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><b>Giulia:</b> I always go back to the story. If it is consistent with the narrative, I would go along even if the main character isn't part of it. I don't watch these two shows, so I can't speak for those, I am thinking, for example, about <i>The Good Wife</i> when a very important character was killed. Not only was it exceptional in terms of drama, but it gave the show a fantastic creative boost.<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> In general, I think when the main character goes, the show should go. For instance, <i>Lethal Weapon</i> never should have continued without Riggs. <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> did the right thing by pulling the plug even though it seemed rushed. Some shows, like <i>Hawaii Five-0</i> and <i>Supernatural</i>, would never work without its two leads. However, especially when shows are more of an ensemble, a good storyline or good writers can cover up an important character’s departure. <i>9-1-1</i> made it work when Connie Britton left. She was one of my favorite characters in season 1, but I hardly miss her now. Likewise, I never thought that anyone would be able to replace Jack for me in <i>MacGyver</i> but now I love Russ.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i1Gnpi4FjYs/XpS2Pt4mjqI/AAAAAAAAekM/mgIKk9A_9iceI-FQo1cX_6ud2LlEpHIGACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/116704_0264b-e1582920915376.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i1Gnpi4FjYs/XpS2Pt4mjqI/AAAAAAAAekM/mgIKk9A_9iceI-FQo1cX_6ud2LlEpHIGACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/116704_0264b-e1582920915376.jpg" width="400" height="226" data-original-width="1197" data-original-height="675" /></a></div><b>Alison:</b> It depends on the show. Procedurals, like <i>Law & Order</i>, seem to have a better chance of surviving the departure of the main protagonist(s) whereas highly character-driven vehicles would have a far more difficult time. I think of a show like <i>Prodigal Son</i>, which despite having aspects of a procedural is fully character-driven. The show couldn’t possibly survive Malcolm’s (Tom Payne) departure. Of course, to every imaginary rule, there is an exception.<br />
<br />
<b>Naomi:</b> I think it depends on the strength of storytelling and how compelling the rest of the cast is. If the remaining cast is strong and they've had interesting character arcs, the show could survive-maybe not too long though. I appreciate showrunners pulling the plug when something isn't working out. It doesn't hurt to try though.<br />

<br />
<b>9-1-1, "Fools", March 23, 2020, Actors: Ryan Guzmanm, Gavin McHugh<br />
The Scene: Eddie talks to Chris<br />
Beth:</b> Eddie's instinct as a dad has always been to show Christopher he can do anything, so it was hard for him to talk to his son about the limitations he has because of his CP. This scene showcased what an amazing bond the two have and once again Gavin and Ryan hit us with an emotional gut punch because of how awesome they are as actors.<br />
<br />
<b>9-1-1: LONE STAR, "Monster Inside", March 2, 2020, Actors: Rob Lowe, Ronen Rubinstein<br />
The Scene: Owen talks to TK about the dog<br />
Beth: </b>Everyone could tell TK loved Buttercup hence why it was so strange that he was treating the dog the way he was. When Owen talked to him, it opened the floodgates about TK's fear of losing his father. The scene ended beautifully with Owen getting TK to give in and love on Buttercup.<br />
<br />
<b>ALL AMERICAN, "Stakes is High", March 2, 2020, Actors: Cody Christian and more<br />
The Scene: Asher comes clean about using steroids<br />
Alejandra M:</b> Asher comes clean about using steroids to the team, and explains the reason he did it was for himself, and that he got suspended indefinitely. I feel like this scene showed his character development because him coming clean meant he wouldn't play football anymore, and it would ruin his career, which was the main reason why he started using steroids. Him not sugar-coating his reasons took courage, to tell the truth like that, and overall it was a very well acted scene.<br />

Justyna: </b>Alice is such an interesting, complex character. She has done a number of terrible, unforgivable things and yet I truly felt for her throughout this hour. Her story is tragic, complicated, heartbreaking on so many levels. The nightmare she has survived and the person she has become definitely make her family question how they should feel and act around her. She's both a cold-blooded killer and a terrified little girl who never got rescued. In this scene we watch Alice finding a way out of her chains but realizing that she's once again trapped and locked away, with no one coming to save her. She stopped believing that anyone would show up for her, which makes Jacob's last-minute arrival all the more meaningful. He shows up just in time to stop Alice from taking her own life. He gives her adrenaline to nullify the toxin in her blood and embraces his daughter. For a moment they appear to be just that - father and daughter reunited, with Alice even calling him "daddy", like little Beth used to. Their moment can't last, but maybe that's what makes it even more special and powerful. Rachel Skarsten once again steals the show for me with her incredible performance. Kudos!<br />

<b>BETTER THINGS, "Steady Rain", March 5, 2020, Actors: Olivia Edward, Diedrich Bader<br />
The Scene: Duke gives Rich some advice<br />
Eve:</b> Rich breaks up with his younger boyfriend and is at Sam’s house and in her bed for some comfort from his best friend. Duke walks into the bedroom and gives him some very mature advice: “You’ll find love again… and if you put the work in now, you’ll be better in the long run. And later, when you meet someone, they’ll be better for you because you’ll be better then, too.”<br />

Prpleight: </b>Lynn asks Jefferson to keep his promise to protect his family, even if it means he has to kill. One of the frequent arguments that Jefferson has had with his daughters, has centered around his conviction that as "superheroes" they do not kill. Period. But, they're facing war, and Lynn is looking at the situation with clear eyes. Lynn forces Jefferson to face the reality that they're going up against an enemy stronger than anyone they've fought; a man literally prepared to kill thousands. She reminds him that he promised to protect his family. If that means kill, he should kill. The question is...will he be able to?<br />

<b>BLUE BLOODS, "Vested Interests", March 6, 2020, Actors: Tom Selleck, Ed Asner<br />
The Scene: Frank visits his former mentor<br />
DJRiter: </b>Frank visits his former mentor who is now an agoraphobic. In trying to get him to venture back out in the world they bond over shared memories of the movie, “The Great Escape.” How wonderful was it to watch these two seasoned pros show you how it’s done to make such a short, simple scene touching and memorable?<br />
<br />

Marko:</b> After a rough season, story- and writing-wise, the girls rediscovered what being a witch means and faced their biggest fears with an open heart. Death could strike at any moment and how they live till then is what matters. So they embraced their faith and sisterhood and regained the Power of Three.<br />

Justyna: </b>There's so many things that could be said about this episode. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about the Timeless Child reveal, but there's no denying that Jodie Whittaker did a wonderful job in this one. One of the best parts for me has to be the moment when the Doctor tries to process the news, understand it and ends up breaking out of the Matrix. Her short exchange with Ruth helps her find a way back to herself and the strength to keep fighting. She actually blows up the Matrix by flooding it with her memories, her many lives and everyone she's met on the way. I always love those moments when we get a glimpse of the past and this one is no different. The music and all the flashes make this one quite a powerful scene. It may not be the biggest event of the hour but it's certainly one that I truly enjoyed. Memory of the many fan favorites that still live in the Doctor's mind. Never forgotten. I'm very interested to see where we go next.<br />
<b>Zandarl:</b> I will choose The Doctor breaking out of the matrix using her mind. We got to see images (past and present) from all her previous incarnations. As she wakes up her new companions stand over her and she says ‘my Fam’.<br />
<b>Milo:</b> The Doctor learns that she is the Timeless Child. This was one of the more powerful moments of the Chibnall era so far, a brilliant performance by Jodie Whittaker that shook the knowledge that she had in the Time Lords to the core and really gave the season a chance to go out on a memorable high note.<br />
<br />
<b>ELITE, "Polo", March 13, 2020, Actors: Danna Paola and more<br />
The Scenes: Lu's investigation interview & The group decides to protect Lu</b><br />
<b>Marko: </b>Lu's investigation interview. Danna Paolo was the saving grace of the season. Her performance was impeccable throughout the season and it all peaked in the season finale. Lu's interview was emotional and heartbreaking and completely on point. Ended it with a perfect: I have feelings Bitch.<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> The group decides to protect Lu. I was so surprised that she told them what happened. Considering they spend most of the time fighting, I was surprised to see them stick together but I loved it. Best moment in the whole show, IMO.<br />
<br />
<b>EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY, "Monarch Butterflies", March 5, 2020, Actors: Josh Thomas, Kayla Cromer, Maeve Press, The Scene: Nicholas tries to give Matilda and Genevieve some advice<br />
Abby C:</b> When Nicholas talks to the girls about their lack of effort in school while on a hike he's doing the opposite of what he tried in the previous scene, which was getting mad and making them walk home after kicking them out of the car. This scene takes place a couple of weeks later and while the girls have shrugged off the fight, he's obviously been thinking about it. It's a lovely scene with Nicholas trying to give Matilda and Genevieve life advice because they're at that age when the choices they make will have consequences for them as adults.<br />

<b>Beth:</b> Jess finds Tali. Part of what has made this show so special to me are the scenes with Jess and Tali. Julian and Yaya have wonderful chemistry as father and daughter and it comes across in every scene they share. When Jess saw Tali and she jumped in his arms, it was such a relief. I loved the moment she sweetly cupped his face because it was almost like she was reassuring him that it was all okay now and he could breathe.<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> Clinton talks the fugitive out of killing himself. This episode was the show's finest so far, especially because of the deeper dive into Clinton as a Native American. Throughout, he describes parts of recent Native American history that doesn't get much mention on TV. However, the best scene is where Clinton assures the fugitive, Reg, that he still has a reason to live. Reg has to be there for his little brother and help him avoid the mistakes Reg made, ending the cycle of violence that started in his father's childhood. It was a powerful scene in an already excellent episode.<br />
<br />
<b>GOD FRIENDED ME, "The Last Little Thing", March 1, 2020, Actors: Brandon Micheal Hall, Javicia Leslie<br />
The Scene: Miles admits that he doesn't know how to help Ali<br />
Dahne: </b>Miles confesses he doesn't know how to help Ali and she tells him that he just needs to be there. When Ali starts chemo, Miles feels useless, in part because he doesn't share the same faith that his dad and sister do. I love how Ali reassures him that just by being there, he is helping her. Theirs is one of the strongest brother-sister relationships on TV and it is even more enjoyable for the rarity.<br />

<b>Eve:</b> Rio and Beth at the clinic. Beth told Rio she’s pregnant to buy some time as she knows he won’t kill a pregnant woman. When the doctor performs the sonogram she confirms the pregnancy. Unbeknown to Rio the doctor was in on it and lied for Beth.<br />
<b>Marko: </b>Beth makes fake money for Rio. This scene just showed what a powerful medium Television still is. With no words spoken, Christina Hendricks and Manny Montana carried out so much angst, anger, heartbreak, and tension.<br />

<b>Beth:</b> Steve talks about the sunset. Knowing this show is reaching its conclusion makes these moments very bittersweet. As Steve slowed his horse and took in the sunset, it just meant more because we know our time with this show is setting soon. These small beats make me just a little more emotional while I am watching.<br />
<b>Klutzy girl:</b> Danny talks to Steve about being burned out. I'm not surprised that a decade of trauma has finally caught up to him, especially after the year he's had, and I'm glad Danny's there for him, whatever may happen next. "You're my Danno" also broke me because it was such an unexpected, adorable line. I adore everything about their friendship and am going to miss it/the show.<br />

Justyna:</b> Such a beautiful moment, taking place shortly before the bittersweet ending of Ray and Nora's journey on the show. This was a great episode in general, complete with Nora's father, Damien Darhk returning from the dead, at least for a short while. Despite the rough start he truly has changed, ultimately choosing his daughter over everything else, even if that meant actual hell for him. This time he gets to say goodbye, walk his daughter down the aisle and see her genuinely happy. It's a moment of joy for everyone and I love how we don't need to hear a single word spoken throughout the whole scene. All it takes is a look at Ray and Nora, heartfelt reactions from their friends and the music. It's perfect. An actual happy ending for the two people who truly deserve it. Ray has been the heart of the show since the start and Nora's character development is one of my favorite stories from the series. Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford deserve all the praise for their fantastic work on the Legends. The show will never be the same without them. <br />
<b>Klutzy girl:</b> I love that they put together a wedding so quickly, and it was such a sweet scene. These two clearly love each other, and I already miss them. I'm glad we got to see them get a happy ending before their departure from the show.<br />

<b>Folie-lex:</b> Cam and Mitch tell the adoption agency they are adopting the baby and put in an offer on a new house. After spending the episode fretting and being unsure about whether or not they were ready to expand their family (with the subsequent home upgrade required) and when in fact it seemed they were just gonna keep things as they were because "when you know you know" and they had come to a conclusion they didn't know... all they needed was that look between them... and they both knew... and so did we. And I had tears in my eyes. This show is full of strong reliable marriages. But there is something about Mitch and Cam when all their hopes and dreams of their family's happily ever after come true that realy gets me.<br />
<b>Klutzy girl:</b> Cam and Mitch had been arguing against adopting all episode but they just knew what was in their hearts - that they wanted to adopt another baby and move. It was such a sweet, emotional scene, and I can't wait to see their family grow.<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> It's been a while since Modern Family has been able to make me feel excited like this. It's a shame that the show is ending because I'd love to see them take this journey.<br />

<b>NEW AMSTERDAM, "Perspectives", March 10, 2020, Actors: Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman<br />
The Scene: Helen tells Max that everything she’s done was for him<br />
Alison D:</b> Helen tells Max that everything she’s done she’s done for him. Talk about a slow burn. The longing between Dr. Helen Sharpe and Dr. Max Goodwin is unmistakable, but haunted by the ghost of his dead wife, Georgia. When Max moves into Sharpe’s space the audience is poised, waiting for one of them to close the distance, but the wedding ring that he still wears is a weighty reminder that he’s not ready. It’s a scene that is equally full of heartache and promise. Agyeman and Eggold have a seemingly natural chemistry that works well for their characters. They play their roles beautifully.<br />
<br />
<b>OUTLANDER, "Better to Marry Than Burn", March 22, 2020, Actors: Duncan Lacroix, Maria Doyle Kennedy, The Scene: Murtagh and Jacosta talk the night before Jacosta's wedding<br />
Laura B:</b> While Murtagh's storyline has gone ways beyond the book's, one of the best things the series has done has given us this turbulent romance between Jamie's aunt and godfather with the likes of Duncan Lacroix and Maria Doyle Kennedy, with Kennedy in one of her best roles to date! But the rejection of Murtagh was so devastating to watch, knowing that most likely Jacosta will come to regret it.<br />

<b>PRODIGAL SON, "The Job", March 16, 2020, Actors: Molly Griggs and more<br />
The Scene: Eve climbs into the box<br />
Dahne: </b>To be honest, there are better scenes this month from Prodigal Son, mostly involving Jessica and Malcolm or Martin. However, nothing else creeped me out as much. Eve has been listening to Malcolm about his nightmares, often revolving around the Girl in the Box. Later, Eve slips away at Jessica's house and creeps into the basement. There she opens the box and climbs into it, just like Malcolm remembers the Girl in the Box. It's appalling and demented in a show that has its fair share of demented. Not only is Eve creepy here, but the fact that they still have the trunk in the basement is beyond sick. Yikes, people!<br />

<b>SCHITT'S CREEK, "Sunrise, Sunset", March 10, 2020, Actors: Eugene Levy, Emily Hampshire and more<br />
The Scene: Johnny tells Stevie about his plan for David's wedding<br />
Folie-lex:</b> Johnny tells Stevie that he and Moira had also set aside a nest egg for David's wedding. Only Schitt's Creek can make a moment where a rich old dude talks about his former plans to charter people to Bali for his son's wedding relatable. I had tears in my eyes throughout that speech. Eugene really brought the pain of a father feeling like he's letting his son down and being unable to provide for him in the way he had always planned and would like. <br />

<b>Jimmy:</b> Seal Team has had a really solid season, and its 2020 return from the winter hiatus has been very good. As the team dissected a failed op, Ray thought he'd be on the hook for a major error in judgement: throwing the wrong grenade in a hostage rescue situation. At the last minute, evidence came to light that Vic had made the error instead, throwing a grenade which blew up some explosives that were in the room. Vic didn't confess until the crucial evidence appeared, but remarkably Ray found it in himself to forgive Vic before rightly stripping his patch and dumping him from Bravo team.<br />
<b>Prpleight:</b> Vic loses his trident. The episode started with Jason declaring a "complete mission failure". As the team tries to figure out what happened, Ray determines that the failure was his fault; a decision that will cost him everything. When evidence is found that explains the failure, they discover that Vic, the newest team member was at fault. They also realize that Vic held back this information. He was willing to let Ray take the fall. Most of the team was ready to kill him, but Ray forgave him. Vic thought, hoped, his apology would be enough, but while Ray could forgive him, he couldn't trust him with his, or his brother's lives. It was kind of heartbreaking, to watch Ray cut the trident patch from Vic's uniform.<br />

<b>Sandi:</b> Raffi gathers the five holograms together in order to work out what’s going on with Captain Rios. So many scenes to pick from this month here but I have to go for this one for several reasons. Firstly, I am a fan of Santiago Cabrera so it’s no surprise that I have been extremely happy to see him being able to show off his talents on the show through playing more than one role. But this scene in particular was just a delight, providing some much-needed comic relief and firmly planted them as one of my favourite new Trek roles in recent years. The complexity of Rios’ character split down into several distinct personalities, complete with ticks and accents, all interacting with each other at the same time, cannot have been as simple and effortless to throw together as the final two-minute scene looks on the screen. For that reason alone I can’t imagine there will be many of them in the future, though I do hope we will continue to see more of the individual holograms appear with the Captain himself in most episodes as I enjoy their interaction, and they often throw open a window on this enigmatic, roguish pilot.<br />
<b>Milo:</b> Picard reunites with Riker and Troi. Even though I'm not up to date on all of The Next Generation, I'm currently working my way through Season 3, and I just love how well writers Michael Chabon & Samantha Humphreys pulled off this reunion, both Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis delighted in bringing back their characters with a quiet, sombre and reflective touch that feels at odds with the more bombastic nature of the series in an episode that slowed the pace down but in a way that benefited the episode greatly. It may have been nostalgia bait, but I'm not going to complain about good nostalgia bait.<br />
<b>DJRiter: </b>Seven of Nine returns to help El Nor escape the Borg cube. After answering his summons, Seven joins him in his fight to escape, to do that she had to reconnect herself to the collective mind to help free other Borg. That moment when she reconnects, thus risking sacrificing the humanity she has gained in all these years was a masterful moment from Ryan. Her return as the character to the Star Trek world was one of the outstanding highlights of the show’s first season.<br />

Jimmy:</b> Wyatt goes it alone and nearly pays the ultimate price. If the episode a week prior wasn't good enough, the mammoth 5m 20s long take at the end of this episode was arguably even more impressive, even if some of the cut points were more obvious than I'd have liked. Wyatt became a man on a mission, though he forgot to take his teammates with him. This scene began outdoors and involved a spectacular combination of aerial and ground filming as Wyatt fought his way along a raised plaza, before entering a building and climbing several stories, seeing off assailants on the way. The scene - and the episode's final moment - was Wyatt finally meeting his match, as he was caught by surprise and shot in the neck at close range. While Strike Back's storyline has been on the shallow side in its final season, the impressive efforts in front of and behind the camera in many of its scenes still make it highly watchable.<br />

<b>Dahne:</b> One of my favorite things about Stumptown has been the development of Dex and Sue Lynn's relationship. At first toxic and then grudgingly respectful, it has turned into one strengthened by mutual grief. Throughout the episode, Dex has been given advice on how she needs to confess the things weighing her down. She finally does in this scene, where she tells Sue Lynn about her guilt over Benny's death. Sue Lynn listens to details she never knew about her son's death but then absolves Dex of her guilt, reminding her that Benny would never want her to torture someone so he could live. There's nothing traditionally touchy-feely about this scene; both characters are too hardened by grief for that. Still, it moves their relationship even further as mentor and mentee.<br />
<b>DJRiter:</b> All season the tension between Dex and Sue Lynn has been due to unresolved issues regarding Benny’s death. After Dex risks her life and freedom to get to the truth the two meet and bond by sharing a toast to Benny at his grave. Scenes between these two actresses and these characters have been outstanding during the show’s first season. Now with the truth about Benny’s death revealed where do they go from here? This excellent show deserves a second season to show us, if for no other reason to give us more scenes between Smulders and Cardinal.<br />

DJRiter: </b>Alex lashes out at Kara about going to her Dad’s funeral. Shows should be as blessed as Supergirl to have as talented a pair of performers like Supergirl has in Chyler Leigh and Melissa Benoist. Just when you think they can’t get any better they give you a scene where the Danvers sisters, both in pain and grieving for their dead father, argue as to why Alex has decided not to attend his funeral. In this deeply intense, emotionally charged scene neither actress holds back which is why they are one of the finest acting duos on television on any show. While Benoist’s role in the episode was limited aside from this and one other standout moment, Leigh goes on to give perhaps her finest performance of the series, taking Alex on an unusual journey through her grief. <br />
<br />
<b>THE BOLD TYPE, "The Space Between", March 5, 2020, Actors: Katie Stevens, Dan Jeannotte, The Scene: Jane tells Ryan she's decided to have the double mastectomy<br />
Folie-lex:</b> Jane announces to Ryan she's decided to have the double mastectomy and is giving him the chance to opt out of the relationship. He reassures her he's in it for the long haul. For a love story and a ship that has been quite frustrating at times, there was nothing more gratifying than to see how far they have both come as characters and how much they have both grown into this relationship. That Jane chose to actually have this conversation with him in this adult manner and the way Ryan declared that "this isn't how their story ends" and held Jane tight letting her know he'll support her through it all, only drove the point further home.<br />
<br />
<b>THE GOOD DOCTOR, "Fixation", March 2, 2020, Actors: Freddie Highmore, Paige Spara<br />
The Scene: Shaun confronts Lea<br />
Marko:</b> Another magnificent performance from Freddie Highmore as the rejection from Lea hit Shaun hard. He couldn't cope with the fact that she is saying no to his love.<br />
<br />
<b>THE SINNER, "Part V", March 5, 2020, Actors: Bill Pullman, Jessica Hecht<br />
The Scene: Harry kisses Sonya<br />
Eve:</b> Sonya visits Harry and they talk about the case. Sonya is hinting that Harry likes her but Harry deflects.. when Sonya gets up to leave Harry plants a kiss on her. We saw there was an attraction between Harry Ambrose and Sonya Barzel from the start. However, we the audience, are not sure yet if Sonya is totally innocent in the whole story. Is she hiding something? Did she know Jamie and Nick? Is she involved?<br />

Sandi:</b> I nearly went with the earlier scene between Judith and Earl, but the sheer emotional punch this short scene delivers as Daryl discovers Judith sitting shellshocked by the body of the friend she had just had to kill in order to keep the rest of the children safe makes it that much more memorable. After having searched for the children and fearing the worst had happened to them in the aftermath of the Whispers attack, this is one situation that probably never crossed his mind. Yet his nurturing instincts kick in immediately as he wordlessly takes her sword, puts himself between her and Earl, and comforts her. Cailey Fleming played a blinder in this episode, the script asked her to dig deep at times and she showed us that she’s more than ready to be challenged with whatever this show is likely to ask of her character in the future.<br />
<br />
<b>THIS IS US, "Strangers: Part Two", March 24, 2020, Actors: Justin Hartley, Sterling K. Brown, Caitlin Thompson, The Scenes: Kevin learns about Madison's pregnancy & Randall and Kevin's argument</b><br />
<b>Klutzy girl:</b> They've been building up to this storyline for a while now, and I'm excited it's her and can't wait for next season. Kevin's building panic about fatherhood and then excitement shown through Justin's amazing acting. The fact that it's twins was a surprise but I love that they're accidentally following in Jack and Rebecca's footsteps. Wherever this leads and however it pans out, I can't wait to see Kevin and Madison co-parent their son and daughter.<br />
<b>Marko:</b> Randall and Kevin's argument. A perfect culmination of a multiple-episode build-up. Justin and Sterling didn't hold back and carried the painful words well dozed, with the right emotional tremble in their voices and intensity that left me speechless.<br />
<br />

Justyna:</b> There's several powerful moments that I would like to highlight from the first three episodes of the season. But the one I decided to include in the article is probably the one that surprised and hit me the most. We've learned quite a lot of details about the real world already, but Dolores explaining what the system is truly capable of and the way people have been using it was not what I expected at all. In the diner Caleb is confronted with his worst memory but it's the conversation on the pier that changes everything for Nichols. As it turns out the algorithm predicts that Caleb will take his own life on this exact pier in about 10-12 years. This calculation is what determines how other people see him, it's the reason why he's not able to get a better job, no matter how qualified he might be, the world has already identified him as a lost cause, thus ensuring the outcome. Dolores tells Caleb what she intends to do and he makes a choice to change his fate, to help her start a revolution. If that is truly what she's after than it definitely helps me see her in a different light. But the moment certainly wouldn't work nearly as well if it wasn't for Caleb, or rather Aaron Paul's phenomenal performance. Caleb chooses to fight and "Westworld" is clearly making references to some real life issues. This show is so well written and acted. The music in the background of this scene works beautifully as well. I can't wait to see what happens next. Kudos!<br />

<b>YOUNG SHELDON, "An Academic Crime and a More Romantic Taco Bell", March 5, 2020, Actors: Iain Armitage, Wallace Shawn, The Scene: Dr. Sturgis admonishes Sheldon for his behavior<br />
Prpleight:</b> Sheldon's awareness that he's smarter than everyone around him, has imbued the character with an arrogance that, we know, will plague him into adulthood. Most of the situations the audience has seen where his arrogance gets him in trouble have been personal. This time it was professional and his bad behavior had consequences. For the first time that I can recall, they were consequences that mattered to Sheldon. Dr. Sturgis' anger was also new. We've seen him as the sweet nerdy nebbish and as a a man suffering from a mental illness requiring treatment. This is the first time we saw him as a professional who was hurt, offended and angry. Actions have consequences and it's time Sheldon learned that.<br />

<b>Dahne: </b>Simon worries that he wasn’t there for his dad before his dad’s suicide. While I'm not a fan of the love triangles that Simon and Zoey create, I loved this scene. It's the anniversary of Simon's dad's suicide and things are rough for Simon. While reminiscing about his dad, Simon now sees the warning signs he missed and fears that he could have stopped his dad if he had been paying more attention. Instead of sugarcoating it, Zoey says that there probably were signs but then gives Simon the bigger picture and with that, hope and peace. She reminds him that everyone needs to move forward, even in hard times and even when facing a huge loss. It's one of the better speeches on TV and crucial to remember in these hard times.<br />
<b>Prpleight:</b> Mo reveals why he won't return to church. I had dismissed this show based on the title and description of the musical aspect of the show. While channel surfing I heard a favorite song, and wound up watching the rest of the episode. The scene in which Mo explains why he hasn't returned to choir rehearsal was beautifully (and heartbreakingly) written and performed. I was blown away and will be watching from now on.<br />
<b>Folie-lex:</b> Zoey sings to her father about not being able or ready to lose him. After the devastating news that her father's condition is deteriorating rapidly, Zoey spends the whole episode singing to herself, about her feelings, out loud, at the most inopportune moments. Clearly a result of avoiding dealing with the bad news. After a great talk with Max she finaly faces her fears and opens her heart up to her dad. It's beautiful and heartbreaking, and touching beyond words... which is where the singing comes in.<br />

<br />
The first season of the incredible <i>Stumptown</i> came to a dramatic conclusion with an intense and emotional two-part finale, <i>The Dex Files</i> and <i>All Hands on Dex</i>. We finally learned what happened to Benjamin Blackbird, but did the revelation bring closure to Dex and those close to her? My fellow SpoilerTV colleagues, Elly, Allison and Laura and I share our thoughts about the finale and what the chances are for this show we all enjoy having a second season in what we sincerely hope isn’t the final <i>Stumptown</i> Review Roundtable.<br />
<br />

<b>Now that Benny (Sam Marra)’s murder has been solved, what does this mean for Dex (Cobie Smulders) and Sue Lynn (Tantoo Cardinal)’s relationship? Were you satisfied with the truth about how Benny died? Where do Sue Lynn and Dex go from here?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> From the first episode, by far, the most interesting and complex relationship on the show has been the one between Dex and Sue Lynn. At first, it appeared adversarial in the sense Sue Lynn was seeking vengeance for the loss of her son. However, as the season progressed, we saw there were many, deeper layers to this relationship. When the chips were down, they each turned to the other for help, and neither hesitated to help. For example, when Dex and Ansel had to go into hiding as Dex wrapped up the case of Benny’s murder, Sue Lyn did not hesitate to take them in. While the solution to Benny’s murder seemed a little too easily solved, part of me had hoped he would turn up to save Dex at the last minute but have to leave again because he had been and must return to witness protection. Now knowing that having him return had been discussed but rejected I will admit they made the right decision. I think this is just the first step for Sue Lynn and Dex to start healing. I love it when they work together and would love to see more stories or cases where their worlds cross paths. <br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> There has always been more to Sue Lynn than Benny’s death. The same is true about her relationship with Dex. The fractures in their relationship existed before Benny died, and their complex dynamic isn’t going anywhere. I expect Sue Lynn will continue to keep secrets; Dex will continue to run afoul of those secrets during her investigative work. I don’t know if satisfied describes how I feel about finally knowing the truth about Benny’s death. I’m going to miss Benny, and I hope the mystery of his death being solved doesn’t mean we won’t see more of the past, but Dex and Sue Lynn need the closure for growth. It won’t solve everything or possibly anything, but it is a stepping stone.<br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> <i>Stumptown</i> put off addressing Benny’s death for such a long time that one might speculate they were conflicted over what they intended to do with the character. We now know there was a 50/50 chance Benny would have been revealed to be alive, but it was not to be. I believe they made the right decision in that regard, especially since it made the scenes between Sue Lynn and Dex more powerful. The evolution of their relationship is surely one of the strongest parts of Season 1. We went from Sue Lynn telling Dex she needed to get it together to Sue Lynn handing Dex a gun and entrusting her with getting justice for Benny. Their dynamic on the show had the most satisfying payoff and I can certainly see another case bringing them together in season two, although I don’t think it will take a case for them to hang out.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> The problem with Benny’s death, in my opinion, was that it was always going to go a predictable way. Either he wasn’t dead, or his team sabotaged him. It was more intricate than I would’ve expected, with Dex obviously also being involved, but I wish it wasn’t predictable. I hope Dex and Sue Lynn can continue to have an open, mother-daughter-like relationship. I hope they can still stay in contact and be there for each other when they need it.<br />

<b>Hoffman (Michael Ealy) compromised himself with the Department in several ways to help Dex. Did he do the right thing? What do you think his final decision regarding the Police Department will be?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> Hoffman is a cop through and through so, of course, he will be back. Right now, he needs time to sort his priorities because once again his generous and caring heart has him choosing friends over duty. He did the right thing in helping Dex, but then he’s always been the cop in his division that thought and acted outside the box, but those actions have always gotten results. He’s at that point where he’s trying to come to grips with loyalty and duty. I do not foresee a long-term romantic relationship between him and Dex. Dex has and will always have one true love and like Grey (Jake Johnson) theirs is going to ultimately be a lovers to friends and partners relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> I think Hoffman will eventually find his way back to the police department. There might be some detours along the way, but he’ll get there eventually. Hoffman’s arc this season has always been leading to this moment, a place where the line blurs and he isn’t sure on which side he belongs. It could also bring him greater insight into his father. I’m happy with this pivot. Michael Ealy is going to do great things with Hoffman’s upheaval and uncertainty.<br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> Hoffman has had some internal conflict over his job for a while, but somehow I don’t think he’ll walk away from being a detective permanently. His friendship with Dex definitely took precedence at the moment, however, his bonds with Cosgrove (Camryn Manheim) and Lee (Fiona Rene) carry weight as well. His differences with the police department aren’t irreconcilable at this point. Before he does put the badge back on, there are creative opportunities for him to work with Dex or work with his father’s firm. I loved it when he went rogue and called in his dad to defend Dex, and Steven Williams brings great energy to the show.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> I think Hoffman did the right thing for him. To him, the right thing was helping Dex, and putting his job in jeopardy was a consequence of that, but I don’t think he would’ve changed it. I’m hoping he’ll still be a cop; I can’t really see him being anything else and he is a fantastic cop when it doesn’t get too personal for him. <br />
<br />

<b>Just when Grey thought he was getting to know his father he discovers that a leopard doesn’t change its spots. What kind of job do you think his Dad (Matt Craven) was involved in? Do you think his father’s partners are going to “persuade” Grey to help them find his Dad? Will he do it?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> I think this was the only storyline in the finale that felt was a little too convenient for me. Of course, he’s going to get involved, and find his Dad, but not for his partners but for himself so he can go down that poor me road again. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh but Grey has a history of being self-absorbed, so I don’t think he’ll miss the chance to lash out at his father again.<br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> Grey is going to get involved, and while he might be “persuaded” to help them find his dad, he’ll protect his dad and his dad’s family. Whatever happens, it’s the perfect opportunity for Grey and Hoffman to team up. Whatever his dad took, it was small and valuable. Tech? Components? I’m not sure, but something he can sell without a middle man.<br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> I was surprised that there was a last-minute twist with Grey’s dad, maybe because I wasn’t all that invested in him being there or what he was up to. In a way, Grey getting trapped in this situation feels like a story that’s already been done twice this season, and I’m doubtful there is anything creatively fulfilling to be mined from it. However, more Matt Craven can’t be a completely bad thing. <br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> The problem with Grey is that he’s so caring towards the people he loves that it almost becomes a fault, meaning I don’t think his father’s partners will even have to persuade him. They might have to offer something for him to receive in the end, but I don’t think they’ll have to push hard. I’m afraid his dad was involved in something for money, instead of cars, because surely his new wife and child would notice if he was doing something like stealing cars.<br />
<br />

<b>Dex and Ansel (Cole Sibus) got a surprise visitor at the end of the episode. When he came down the stairs exclaiming, “She’s here!” did Ansel know who was at the door? What do you think the arrival of this visitor means? What do you think their reactions are going to be?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> He knew! They threw us a very believable red herring with making us think he was talking to his girlfriend when all the time he was talking to his mother. Bears the question, how long had he been in touch with her. Has he known where she was? Who called whom? And why? Clearly, Ansel was excited to greet who was at the door, but this is not going to be an all smiles and hugs happy reunion. Dex has a lot of baggage regarding how her parents abandoned her and Ansel. The mother bear protector in her is going to come out and while Ansel may believe whatever story Mama Parios has, Dex is going to be suspicious and defensive. <br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> Ansel definitely knew. Tookie (Adrian Martinez)’s assumptions were designed to muddy the plot waters. The audience would find Ansel’s relationship woes minor when set against the search for Benny’s killer. The character’s return will be the catalyst for next season’s big mystery. Dex will need to work through the demons. She’s still a vet suffering from PTSD, but now she’ll struggle with abandonment issues. Not to mention her anger. Ansel, it seems, was never in the dark, and I’m interested in learning more about that little surprise. <br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> Considering we all knew the season had to end with a parent or both parents arriving, I’m more curious why they didn’t cast anybody for the role, and the reason can only be they didn’t feel confident enough to offer a recurring role to someone. Should the show return for Season 2, Dex will undoubtedly have some questions and resentment and heartbreak to unload. I would predict that Mom Parios will not be forthcoming with the truth, and Dex will have to ferret out the details. <br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> I think Ansel knew who was at the door, we could see him talking to someone earlier in the episode who we all assumed was his girlfriend, who I’m now afraid was his mother. It’s interesting to me that Ansel is so open and welcoming to her, but maybe that’ll change. I don’t think Dex will be for it at all. She still holds plenty of resentment for her parents, which isn’t misplaced, and I think this will go a lot worse than Ansel is hoping. <br />

<b>There is still no decision from the network on a season two of <i>Stumptown</i>. Considering the state of production during the coronavirus, what do you think the show’s chances are for a second season? What do you want to see in the second season? Who would you cast to play Mom Parios?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> Given the current freeze on production due to world events I would say that <i>Stumptown</i>’s chances for renewal have greatly improved. Networks will be looking to get shows back on the air as quickly as possible and having a show with a cast and production crew that are comfortable working with each other is going to look very attractive. If there was one show out there that I strongly feel deserves another season and that second chance, it’s <i>Stumptown</i>. This is a cleverly written show featuring one of the strongest casts on TV today headed by the amazing Cobie Smulders. The second season would be highlighted with the mystery surrounding the disappearance and sudden return of Mama Parios? Where has she been? Why did she leave like she did? Where is Dad? Several names come to mind as to who could play Mama Parios, but my top two are Sela Ward and if they were to get a really out of the box name I would love to see Joan Cusack play in this playground with this cast.<br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> I think the current state of television production might increase its chances of renewal. Some shows many have received pilot orders without having the opportunity to shoot the pilot and other shows may have been waiting to hear whether the pilot was going forward. Television might lean into the established. I want more development for these wonderfully flawed characters, more friendship, fewer love triangles, more flashbacks, to know where Tookie and Laura (Patricia De Leon)’s relationship stands, and the return of Violet (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), but I’ll take Zack (Eoin Macken) too. As far as who could play Mama Parios, I’m not good at this sort of thing, but what about Kim Delaney or Sharon Lawrence. I’ve never seen NYPD Blue, but it started to autoplay, so it’s on my mind. <br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> Based on this finale, I would say the show itself was not confident of its chances. I choose to remain more optimistic. However, TV patterns indicate that if it is brought back for season 2, they are more than likely to overhaul it in some way, and I like it just the way it is. There are many interesting threads to be continued: Tookie’s marriage, Hoffman’s career crisis, Dex’s ongoing recovery, etc. Dex burned her bridges with Jeremy, but I would still like to see him and Zack and Violet return to the show in a recurring capacity. My choice for Mom Parios would be Susan Sullivan.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> I’m hoping, selfishly, that with all the shows on hold, and ending early, that ABC will maybe give less viewed shows a boost as they probably don’t know how their pilots are going to fall at this point. In a second season, I’d love to see Dex and Grey getting closer, and I’d love to see Ansel branching out, maybe getting his own apartment and a job apart from the bar. If I was given the option to cast Dex’s mom, my first choice would be Mary Steenburgen. However, given that she’s currently on <i>Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist </i>, my second choice would be Geena Davis. <br />

<b>What was the outstanding moment or performance in this episode and your overall thoughts on the 2-part season finale?</b><br />
<br />
<b>Donna:</b> This two-part finale gave me the perfect balance of intense storytelling and action with heart-breaking emotion. There was a scene in each episode that I thought were exceptional moments and no surprise they both were scenes with Dex and Sue Lynn. In 1.17, watching these two amazing actresses contain and yet beautiful convey all the emotions of what they were feeling when Dex went to explain to Sue Lynn what had happened to her son may be one of my favorite of their scenes this season. And then again, they nearly top that in 1.18, where the two come together at Benny’s grave, to say a formal goodbye to the man who meant so much to both of them, and yet it was more, it was them turning a corner in their relationship as well. I cannot begin to express how many more of these scenes between Dex and Sue Lynn I want to see in a new season.<br />
<br />
<b>Allison:</b> For me, it was the scene between Hoffman and Dex at his apartment when she arrives with the money. I felt every word of Hoffman’s speech. You could hear and see conflict and conviction. He’s torn in so many ways, including about the way Dex exists in his life. I said it earlier, but I’m so invested in his struggle in a potential Season 2. Overall, it was a satisfying conclusion to a season. It resolved this season’s big mystery while planting the seeds for what comes next. 1.17 and 1.18 were very different episodes. 1.17 built the tension and felt non-stop while 1.18 leaned heavily on the emotion. It was a quieter hour. I usually go for the emotion and the character development, but except for Hoffman’s moment with Dex, I found 1.17 the more satisfying episode.<br />
<br />
<b>Ellys:</b> While the villain reveal was a smidge underwhelming, the moonlight chase through the forest that followed was not. It was appropriately intense. I also liked Lee and Hoffman’s budding relationship. My favorite scene was everyone working together to smuggle Dex out of the Bad Alibi. The performance that stuck with me afterward was Adrian Martinez in <i>The Dex Files</i>. Tookie’s quiet devastation to the point of almost being numb when he learned the truth about his wife, truth he never wanted to consider because his heart is that big and pure. There isn’t a single <i>Stumptown</i> resident that I don’t want more chances to hang out with.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura:</b> The outstanding performance in this episode for me was, of course, Cobie Smulders as Dex Parios. Though she always brings her all to playing Dex, we got to see her on a different level this episode, and I think she did it phenomenally. The two-part finale had good twists that shocked me but also wasn’t dragged out long enough for me to be annoyed with it. I’m really hoping we get a second season. <br />

Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the <a href="https://www.stvplus.com">Ratings Database</a>. The Ratings Post is made available around 30 minutes before the normal release of the Early Overnight Preliminary Ratings so give people a chance for a quick chat in the comments beforehand should they wish to do so.<br />
<br />
Normally between 4pm-5pm GMT we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above. Finally, later in the evening (9pm-10pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the <a href="https://stvplus.com/ratings">Ratings Database</a> as well as the above tables. <br />
<br />
The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc . Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday (9pm GMT), whilst Sunday's will be available on Tuesdays (3pm GMT).<br />
<br />
Ratings Provided by Nielsen and <a href="http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/">ShowBuzzDaily</a><br />

1. Arturo: “They tip better when you smile.” Liz: “I smile.” Arturo: “You bare your teeth.” (Jamie)<br />
2. Liz: “You are a 19-year old drug addict. You don’t know everything.” (Jamie)<br />
3. Liz: “I chose regenerative medicine as my focus when you died ‘cause I was broken. I wanted to repair the irreparable. It’s an ethics nightmare. I have been spit on by protesters and shut down by the government. I’ve worked on tiny rat hearts my whole life, waiting until someone in power would believe that I could do this with people, too. And over and over, old men on boards have told me to stay in my lane. To calm down. To wait. But I can do this. Noah’s heart is shriveled and weak. Just like he was. But I’m gonna fix it. Max gave me back the only thing I’ve ever lost that mattered to me. Now it’s my turn.” (Jamie)<br />

1. Tookie: “I was never good enough for her.” Grey: “That’s how they get away with it. If you blame yourself, they don’t have to take responsibility for what they did.” Tookie: “And you know what the worst part is, even after everything, I still love her. What does that make me?” Grey: “It makes you human.” Tookie: “It still hurts, man.” Grey: “Yeah, I get it. Listen, my friend, you might have lost Laura, and that’s a big blow, but you still got us.”<br />
2. Dex: “I just want the truth.” Grey: “You think the truth will bring you peace?” Dex: “I don’t know. I don’t know if I know what peace feels like.”<br />
3. Grey: “I mean, 25 years and not so much as a birthday card and all of a sudden, he wants a relationship.” Dex: “Well, you said yourself, he’s changed. That’s hard to do. Maybe you should give him a chance.” Grey: “It’s just weird right? All this digging up in the past. When do we get to move forward?” Dex: “Maybe that’s what we’re doing.”<br />

2. Negan: “The thing is, when she was gone, I just…I didn’t feel much of anything anymore. You know? I didn’t feel scared, I didn’t feel happy. I, uh, I didn’t feel anything. I was just, here. And that is my strength. Now me, I am dead to this world. But you? See, you are pretending. You think that it makes you strong to say that emotions aren’t real, that we are animals.

<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">About the Daily Ratings</div><br />
Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the <a href="https://www.stvplus.com">Ratings Database</a>. The Ratings Post is made available around 30 minutes before the normal release of the Early Overnight Preliminary Ratings so give people a chance for a quick chat in the comments beforehand should they wish to do so.<br />
<br />
Normally between 4pm-5pm GMT we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above. Finally, later in the evening (9pm-10pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the <a href="https://stvplus.com/ratings">Ratings Database</a> as well as the above tables. <br />
<br />
The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc . Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday (9pm GMT), whilst Sunday's will be available on Tuesdays (3pm GMT).<br />
<br />

<br />
Once again <i>Stumptown</i> brings us an episode where the actual case Dex (Cobie Smulders) is investigating serves as a tool to push Dex towards confronting her demons about Benny's death. That is part of the unique appeal of this show. Highlighted by a stand out performance from series star Cobie Smulders, Episode 1x16, <i>All Quiet on the Dextern Front</i>, does an incredible job of answering some questions fans have been asking since the first episode while opening the door to an even more intriguing mystery. What did happen to Benny Blackbird? Fellow SpoilerTV writers Ellys, Alison, Laura and I examine what happened and how it might affect future episodes of <i>Stumptown</i> in our latest Review Roundtable (Marko was unable to join us this week). Don't forget if you have questions about <i>Stumptown</i> you would like us to talk about in future roundtables ask them in the comments below.<br />

<b>This episode leaned hard into Dex and Grey (Jake Johnson) as future romantic partners. It's a dynamic that's been missing for a few episodes. Was it a welcome return?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> I don't know if I could miss something I don't want to happen. To me, the show seems to be trying too hard to make Dex and Grey a couple. While I do think Grey has feelings for Dex, I think he's just too self- absorbed to be a good partner or at least the partner for her. For that matter, I don't think Dex needs a romance right now, she's barely holding things together taking care of herself. I'm glad the show didn't go what I would have considered the clichéd route of having them sleep together again and then waste screen time with them being awkward around one another about it. <br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> Grey was everything Dex needed him to be in this episode. And Johnson turned in my favorite performance from him all season. I'm not made of stone. When he looked into Dex's eyes after she said she was tired of running and suggested he not run, the supportive compassion in his voice hit me right in the soul. I believed one hundred percent that he understood exactly who she was and knew just how to help her. I didn't doubt for a second that his love for her is real. So, the show is totally killing him off, isn't it? Half-kidding aside, for all the doubting I do about Grey's role in the show and his shortcomings, this episode revealed to me how integral he is to knitting the show's threads together. However, I don't expect him and Dex to pair up officially anytime soon, because that's not how TV shows work.<br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> Not for me. I probably sound like a broken record, but I would like to see their relationship remain platonic. I love how supportive they are of one another. For me, the scene in the hotel tainted the scene from the beach at the end of Episode 15. I could do without the overtures and talk of the future, but I'm not likely to get my wish, so I'll just hope it happens infrequently. And if we're talking about raw chemistry, Violet (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) beats everyone. Although, she is a hired assassin, so if that can't happen then I say bring back Zack (Ion Macken).<br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> I missed it! I love them being a slow-burn romance and I'm so glad they decided to bring it back now that Liz (Monica Barbaro) is gone, and it seems that things with Dex and Hoffman (Michael Ealy) are long over.<br />
<br />

<b>Dex claimed her PTSD episode wouldn't have escalated if Ansel (Cole Sibus) was still living with her. Do you believe that? Were you surprised by Ansel's return home? Is it what Dex needs? Is it what Ansel needs?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> I believe she believes it wouldn't have escalated if he'd been home. For me though, that's typical Dex, avoiding the hard truth. I was a little surprised by Ansel's return home, but I applaud the move, I think it's a little of what they both need. While his moving out was good for the growth of both characters, they are each other's biggest champions and there may be things ahead where they will need to draw strength from each other. Dex needs to be needed and when Ansel moved out she floundered a little but found she could pull herself together and take steps forward.<br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> Dex clearly believed she would have held it together had Ansel been home. Previous episodes showed us how she took a sharp downward turn after his departure, with partying and lonely drinking. She was still engaging in self-destructive behavior when he did live at home, but she was doing it elsewhere for the most part. It appears that the key with Dex is reaching a point where she cares about herself enough to not need someone as her motivation. That said, some people never reach a point of independence, and she may be one of those people. Any way we dice it, though, the happiness on Dex's face when she let it sink in that Ansel was home was a beautiful thing to see. <br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> I don't know that I believe Dex. Her claim that it wouldn't have happened if Ansel were there means the episodes are within her control, and I don't believe they are. I think what's more likely is Ansel living there meant she would have used more alcohol, drinking until she passed out, so her pain wouldn't have escalated. We've seen Dex drink herself into unconsciousness, that's how she silenced her demons in the past. I'm surprised the show made so much of Ansel leaving only for him to return so soon. It might be what Dex needs, but she needs more help and support than Ansel's presence. When we first met Dex, Ansel was living with her, and she was hardly living a life free of her demons and guilt. She was gambling to make money and drinking herself to sleep. Dex needs more than Ansel, and it isn't fair to him. He expressed a real desire to strike out on his own, and I wanted to see it happen. We'll see where the story takes what, for now, looks like a step backward. <br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> I do believe that her PTSD wouldn't have escalated if Ansel was here, because she's always just trying to protect him, and I think she thinks that if he sees her upset, he'll think it's weakness, and she never wants to show him that side of her. I was surprised by Ansel coming home because it seemed like he was gone for good when he left. I think what Dex needs is a good therapist and a good support system, so yes, I think he's partially what Dex needs. I also think Ansel does need to be with her to know that she's okay. He's seen her go downhill recently so I think this will be good for both of them. <br />
<br />

<b>This was a heavy episode. Were the scenes between Grey and Tookie (Adrian Martinez) enough to balance Dex's chaotic energy and the flashback scenes?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> Having the two men, who apparently both don't have the best romantic track records, counsel a nervous Ansel in asking a girl for his first date was sweet. It set just the right comedic tone to counterbalance the intensity of Dex's energy and the traumatic flashbacks. It was a perfect illustration of one of the best things about Stumptown, giving us characters that truly care about one another and have created a warm familial bond. <br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> Grey and Tookie coaching Ansel through asking his friend out was fun, and I understand why it had to be in this episode. Ansel had to finish his list, for him moving back home to work out. Still, it got lost in the more dramatic and emotional happenings.<br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> The scenes didn't balance the chaos of the episode, which is fine. The tension was nonstop, but Tookie, Ansel, and Grey were a welcome reprieve because I love their interactions. Especially when Tookie and Grey play the angel and devil on Ansel's shoulders, interchangeably. I think the mark of good entertainment is its ability to elicit empathy and emotion. Dex's barely contained chaos came off the screen and made me feel. I was vibrating with my own nervous energy, my own chaos, but I was also right there with Dex, flashing back and feeling the guilt over Benny's death.<br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> I think so, definitely. But I also think sometimes we're due for a heavy episode. This season has been fairly light given some of its subject matter, so it was time to get down to how bad it is, so it can get worse before it gets better. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LguTq4p1VqE/XmlHNwNFp2I/AAAAAAAACVc/iLljxGE_NGUEkjwSfxsS2RW8Q3kVml-KQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/stumptown%2Bh.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LguTq4p1VqE/XmlHNwNFp2I/AAAAAAAACVc/iLljxGE_NGUEkjwSfxsS2RW8Q3kVml-KQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/stumptown%2Bh.PNG" width="640" height="423" data-original-width="1058" data-original-height="699" /></a></div><br />
<b>We got to see a bit more of Detective Lee (Fiona Rene) and Detective Hoffman working together in this episode. Do you think they're trying to make them an item? Do you like them as an item?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> Why do two people working together necessarily have to become an item? Why can't they just be good partners who have a great working relationship? So no, I don't like them an item, I like them as a team, although I'm missing the presence of Lieutenant Cosgrove (Camryn Manheim) in the squad room recently. <br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> This works! The entire season we've been watching Lee watching Hoffman's back, making sure he didn't get into too much trouble and even offering him completely friendly, sound advice on his brief relationship with Dex. While I didn't see the pairing coming, their flirty banter in this episode made me a fan. Promoting Fiona Rene to a regular would also ensure that the police detective scenes carry equal weight with the other happenings since we could spend more time with her and Hoffman working on cases. <br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> I do think they are trying to make Detective Lee and Hoffman an item. I can't say I'm happy about it, but only because the root of their flirtation is likely to add more drama to Hoffman's relationship with Dex. If I thought more was going to come of it than a thorn in Dex's side, I'd wish them well, but if it looks like a trope, swims like a trope, and quacks like a trope then . . .<br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> I think they're trying to make them an item, but I'm not sure if it will pan out. It could just be the actors' chemistry, but I wouldn't mind them being together. I would love to see more of Detective Lee!<br />
<br />

<b>We finally learned why Dex blamed herself for Benny's death. What was your reaction to the revelation? Also, what are your theories for what really happened the night Benny died, after Jeremy (Robert Adamson)'s revelation? And how surprised are you that we haven't had a single clear Benny flashback yet?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> From the get-go, I've believed that Dex's guilt over Benny's death was misplaced. The disturbing flashbacks we got proved that. Is there something far more sinister at work here than a case of friendly fire or bad timing, I think so. It likely has to do with her commanding officer (Kirk Acevedo)'s urgency in getting information from the woman Dex refused to torture. Like Dex, Benny may have confronted him about the mission or had doubts about information obtained through the ultimate torture of the woman and the commander retaliated and made it look like friendly fire. And the lack of a clear Benny flashback intrigues me and makes my imaginative mind wonder if somehow Benny survived and is in some sort of military witness protection in exchange for his help for taking the officer down. I think Benny would do that to protect Dex and her career and even his family. Whatever the reason it has provided us with a very intriguing mystery as Season One draws to a close.<br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> I'm not sure yet how I feel that Benny's death was even less Dex's fault that initially suggested. It feels a little too easy, but I can't say that caveat isn't in line with the lighter tone that Stumptown clearly feels most at home with. The flashbacks were a little confusing, in terms of how everything and the interrogation connected. My working theory now is that Benny's death was a friendly fire situation, no doubt caused by Acevedo's villain. Interestingly, we haven't seen Benny himself yet, considering how major a character he is in Dex's history. In the next episode, we may finally meet him, as Sam Marra has been cast in the role. Viewers will recognize Marra from his supporting role on Amazon's <i>Homecoming</i> and as the bartender in <i>Star Trek: Picard</i>'s standout <i>Stardust City Rag</i> episode. <br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> I don't know that it had an impact on me that it was supposed to have. Dex blaming herself was easy for me to understand without there being more to the story. Having said that, I am happy that there is more to the story and that we have a deeper mystery to uncover. Dex refusing to participate in the torture of the woman was the right move, but it certainly adds more depth to why she blames herself and explains her constant refrain that Benny was there because of her. I always took it to mean the Marines or Afghanistan, but it was literally Dex's failure to obtain the much-needed information. I don't have a single idea about what might have happened that night. My guesses would be shots in the dark—Drugs? Weapons? I'm sure it isn't aliens, but other than that we'll see. I'm curious and ready for the ride. The lack of a clear image of Benny, for me, fits with the chaos of Dex's PTSD. She sees the past in bright, booming flashes. We are meant to experience her trauma. If we get flashbacks of their time together outside of combat, I think it's then we'll see Benny.<br />

<b>LG:</b> I was shocked that his death was much more involved than we expected. I figure it would just be that she didn't have enough time to save him, or was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but this goes much deeper and I can see now why she blamed herself, even though it wasn't her fault. I think we're going to find out that that attack was always planned, and nothing Dex could've done -- whether torture the woman or not -- would've stopped it. I'm not too surprised with the lack of clear Benny, because this is a time to get into the nitty-gritty. If we get more seasons, I think we'll see that, but for now, I think Dex is more focused on the sad than the happy memories they share. <br />

<b>It took a lot of courage for Dex to go to Sue Lynn (Tantoo Cardinal) with her confession about her role in Benny's death. Did Sue Lynn react as you expected her to? Did Dex? Where do you see their relationship going from this point? </b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> Since the first time Smulders and Cardinal blew me away in their scenes together, this may be the scene I've been waiting for all season and they didn't disappoint. Sue Lynn saw Dex was in pain and genuinely tried to help her. Part of me believes that had this scene happened in earlier episodes we would have had an angrier more vengeful Sue Lynn. I think that sometime between those early scenes and this one Sue Lynn has either come to accept that Benny's death wasn't Dex's fault, or someone has filled her in on some of the circumstances of his death. I think she may be at peace that regardless of the situation her son died a noble death. I think she also sees how tortured Dex is about it and has come to understand and perhaps gained some compassion for the woman her son loved and who loved him. Perhaps she saw that anything she did to Dex couldn’t be as bad as what Dex was doing to herself. This was an amazing scene from my two favorite characters on the show. I think there is much more to come from the relationship of these two women including setting aside whatever differences or anger they have toward one another to band together to get to the truth about Benny's death.<br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> The only person waiting longer than us for this conversation would probably be Sue Lynn herself. What we got in this episode felt like just the first half of the conversation. Dex clearly had more she wanted to say, but she doesn't know how yet. And that may be in part because a part of her knows there's more to the story. This scene was one of a few times that I've noticed a little bitterness in Sue Lynn's exchange with Dex. It must take a good deal of strength for her to look past all the negative feelings that are associated with Dex and her son, including her guilt for separating them, an action that the show hinted sprang from a different motive than has been revealed. Everything these two need to say to each other has yet to be said.<br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> In my mind, I thought Sue Lynn knew the details of Benny's death, maybe not about Dex's role in the interrogation or her failure to get the information the Marines needed, but that he was there because of Dex. Does Sue Lynn knowing about Dex's refusal to participate in the torture of a possible enemy combatant make Benny's death worse? I think Sue Lynn's response is in keeping with her character, but also mirrors my view of the situation. Torturing the woman wouldn't have guaranteed Benny's survival. And what about the personal cost? Trading a life for a life. Dex might have Benny, but she'd still be living with demons, just different ones. The confession was a pivotal moment for Dex, and definitely for Dex than Sue Lynn. Their every interaction strengthens the relationship between the two women, but it'll be a bumpy and winding road.<br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> Sue Lynn has always been somewhat of a pseudo-mother to Dex, and I think this is especially true now. Her reaction was more motherly than anything else -- understanding, but still visibly upset. I hope they can grow from this. Dex is no longer feeling like she's keeping something from Sue Lynn, and hopefully, Sue Lynn will feel the same way. <br />

<b>Overall thoughts of this episode, has the series performed well enough for a Season 2 renewal?</b><br />
<br />
<b>DC:</b> This may be one of my favorite episodes of the season. I like how they brought Jeremy back and how he was the one to help Dex face her demons and ultimately brought her the truth. And as stated above, it contains the scene I've been waiting for all season. It is a unique show that turns the standard detective fare on its ear. It rarely does the expected and has given us intricately crafted stories and multi-layered characters and performers to care about. It would be a big mistake for ABC to not give this outstanding show a second season. <i>Stumptown</i> is easily my favorite of all the new shows this season.<br />
<br />
<b>EC:</b> We track Same Day as well as Live+7 numbers here at SpoilerTV, and <i>Stumptown</i> remains in the middle of the pack. Going off numbers, the renewal could go either way. In terms of content, it doesn't seem like there is another show that has what this one does. Cobie Smulders's consistently excellent performances, the cozy hometown feel of the setting, the timeless nature of the cases….the show is both modern and traditional all at once. I want to spend time each week with these characters, spend time in their world, and very few shows check those boxes. It deserves a renewal.<br />
<br />
<b>AD:</b> I don't know if the ratings are enough for ABC to give the show a second season, but I certainly hope that's the case. I will say that the performances, story arc, and character development are more than enough to warrant a second season. This show is incredibly compelling and, on the surface, or to the casual viewer, it could seem like the typical case of the week procedural, but there is far more depth found here than in most of the offerings on broadcast television. Here's to a Season 2!<br />
<br />
<b>LG:</b> I absolutely loved this episode. It was fun with the will-they-won't-they for Dex and Grey, and we also got to see more of Dex and what she goes through daily. I think this season has been wonderful, but I'm not a ratings expert or a network exec. I hope they can see how many people love the show and love the representation it gives because I do truly think it deserves a season two.<br />

<i><b>Hello and welcome to a new edition of SpoilerTV's Weekly Round Table! Joining us this week is Laura B (DL), Lisa Macklem (LM), Dahne (DH), Jennise (JH), Angela Niles (AN), Jamie Coudeville (JC), Katherine Meusey (KM), and myself (ZF). You just have to sit back enjoy the read and join the discussion in the comment section down below.</b></i><br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">It’s been a while since the writers of SpoilerTV have gathered together for a roundtable. In our time since, which new broadcast show has surprised you the most in terms of quality?</div></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IZemTbceA70/Xl2a0szLnTI/AAAAAAAAdQE/5zxPzkeT6PA4O1utiYXRvFELpGUhucpnACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/stumptown-episode-116-all-quiet-on-the-dextern-front-promotional-photo-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IZemTbceA70/Xl2a0szLnTI/AAAAAAAAdQE/5zxPzkeT6PA4O1utiYXRvFELpGUhucpnACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/stumptown-episode-116-all-quiet-on-the-dextern-front-promotional-photo-12.jpg" width="320" height="213" data-original-width="1280" data-original-height="853" /></a></div><b>Laura:</b> I don't think there is any new broadcast show that has surprised me, but <i>Evil</i> definitely got more creative faster than I was expecting. It really shows how seamless the Kings are able to play will all kinds of tone now! I feel like they're on top of their game now!<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> I was really pleasantly surprised by <i>Evil</i> and <i>Stumptown</i>. I wasn't surprised by the quality of <i>The Outsider</i>, but I've been really loving this mini-series. Most recently, I've really been surprised by <i>Tommy</i>! It's a terrific show with great acting and terrific dialogue. So far, it hasn't been shying away from tough storylines either.<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> <i>Prodigal Son</i> has been the biggest surprise for me. The characters are well developed and the plot does a great job of mixing the central, overarching mystery with the procedural. <i>Stumptown</i> is my drama honorable mention. As for comedy, <i>Bob Hearts Abishola</i> does a great job of mixing heart with laughs. Generally, I do not like shows based on shipping, but adding in the multicultural element has raised the whole show. <i>The Unicorn</i> is my honorable mention for comedies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6T1LFXgePUc/Xl2aB9W3F9I/AAAAAAAAdQA/XXDVTrYeLGsQZIKs7pL1kPS3rLhIJFt7ACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/evil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6T1LFXgePUc/Xl2aB9W3F9I/AAAAAAAAdQA/XXDVTrYeLGsQZIKs7pL1kPS3rLhIJFt7ACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/evil.jpg" width="320" height="180" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="408" /></a></div><b>Jennise:</b> I'm not sure about the timeline of the last WRT article but the last broadcast show that surprised me, in terms of quality, was <i>Roswell: New Mexico</i>. I expected a teen-focused, faithful remake of the 1999 series. I don't hate the genre, but some of the cliches of a teen romance drama can be exhausting. The smartest decision the showrunners made was in aging the characters closer to 30. This meant that, in general, characters didn't make the dumb decisions a teenager would make. When Liz discovered that Max lied to her...she didn't spend 3 or 4 episodes operating off of assumptions, she confronted him. Another rare occurrence was to have the romantic lead wear his heart on his sleeve; to tell the object of his affection exactly how he felt. The show was full of surprises and unexpectedly good.<br />
<br />
<b>Angela:</b> <i>Evil</i>, definitely. It’s such a strange, twisty little show, and I love the way it leaves me with so many questions and mysteries to try and sort out. I also love the issues it addresses, and that it’s touching on some things that don’t get as much focus in your average TV show. Plus, I adore the cast/characters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2j8v-LawLuI/Xl2bZtKlTiI/AAAAAAAAdQM/snv3Sskv3mERymYnyGjv3zFp9_h0V9NMgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Batwoman%2B2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2j8v-LawLuI/Xl2bZtKlTiI/AAAAAAAAdQM/snv3Sskv3mERymYnyGjv3zFp9_h0V9NMgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Batwoman%2B2.PNG" width="320" height="203" data-original-width="640" data-original-height="405" /></a></div><b>Jamie:</b> I haven't really started that many new broadcast shows (trying to limit my amount of shows). I'm not sure if <i>Batwoman</i> was already playing when we had our last article but I'm really enjoying that one. Also, not sure if it counts as broadcast but I was really impressed by <i>World On Fire</i> which aired on BBC. It was so good but seems to be so unknown.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine:</b> I thought <i>Evil</i> would stretch some boundaries, and it did. Huge fan of the show, and if nothing else I’m surprised by how far a network show goes with regard to the language used. I guess I keep thinking of broadcast as being more conservative and cable being more “racy”, but I am glad to have been proven wrong.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">A few days ago, Disney announced their decision to pull the <i>Love, Simon</i> show from Disney+ due to “family-friendly” concerns. This has sparked controversy online, as the Marvel shows are likely to have darker themes, yet the LGBT show has been pulled. What draws the line for “family-friendly”? Do you think Disney+ will be able to keep their platform entirely family-friendly?</div></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gw1znFCjTxU/Xl2cUE6y6NI/AAAAAAAAdQY/TDMEqZzWGj4dVt9W8FvGTycQZaj8d0PVgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Webp.net-resizeimage%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gw1znFCjTxU/Xl2cUE6y6NI/AAAAAAAAdQY/TDMEqZzWGj4dVt9W8FvGTycQZaj8d0PVgCNcBGAsYHQ/s640/Webp.net-resizeimage%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" height="427" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="484" /></a></div><br />
<b>Lisa:</b> I think the much more sinister question about Disney+ is the influence the juggernaut has on media generally. It's shameful for them to pull <i>Love, Simon</i>. But if we are going to see a conservative backlash on Disney+ which promises to be the biggest streaming service before too long, will other services and networks follow suit?<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> I think Disney is the only media company powerful enough to design their platform however they choose. As Disney+ gets even stronger, it could possibly separate off into more age-specific "channels," which could lessen future controversies.<br />
<br />
Angela: I think any censorship of any sort on any streaming services is absolutely insane, because, y’know, you’re not <i>required</i> to subscribe to these services. It’s like trying to censor stuff on cable channels that you don’t have to have if you don’t wish to pay for them. But it’s especially ludicrous for any outlet to censor anything LGBT-related, while letting dark/violent content slide by with not a word. The idea that LGBT-related content does not equate to “family-friendly” is just plain stupid. I have no idea what the Disney streaming service will do going forward, but I hope they’ll be a little less strict with that stuff going forward.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> Don't even get me started on this. Why am I still surprised that Disney doesn't consider LGBT subjects "family-friendly". What the hell does that even mean? God forbid kids see themselves represented on a Disney show. You can still keep things light and appropriate for kids while also being inclusive.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine:</b> I thought something like this might happen: at some point Disney would have to decide how “Disney” the channel would be, They’re already shying away from shows with LGBTQ characters, despite how positively they’re portrayed. Young people should see themselves reflected on screen, and adults should, too. I can see a “Disney PG” channel or something on the horizon, and that isn’t right.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé:</b> I think this sets a dangerous precedent for what "family-friendly" is. Hilary Duff has expressed her own worry about what might be denied for the <i>Lizzie McGuire</i> show. My question is: What makes LGBT content not family-friendly, when <i>The Mandalorian</i> (amazing show) includes so many dark themes, as I imagine the Marvel shows will as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">So many streaming shows have such a small shelf life now, as opposed to years before, when many network shows were getting 6+ seasons with 25+ episodes each year. Do you think it's a good thing the TV landscape has changed or should shows still be given a longer shelf life?</div></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ka6ZsM48Zw/Xl2dBqWBCaI/AAAAAAAAdQk/R53ksc29RhYyt0CfO1yzARI98IRhUhLMwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/151666_49421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ka6ZsM48Zw/Xl2dBqWBCaI/AAAAAAAAdQk/R53ksc29RhYyt0CfO1yzARI98IRhUhLMwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/151666_49421.jpg" width="320" height="258" data-original-width="640" data-original-height="516" /></a></div><b>Laura:</b> I think like always, it depends on the show. Some shows really do well when they have more than two or three seasons, especially if they are between 8-13 episodes, but other shows I think benefit from having a bit less and more of a tight-knit story.<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> Shorter seasons and series really do help to maintain quality storytelling. Few if any shows actually maintain quality past the 5th or 6th season - they too often become a parody of themselves or wander off to become something different and less appealing.<br />
<br />
<b>Dahne:</b> It always depends on the show and the quality of the writing. Some shows are better designed for longer seasons, while others work best with a planned limit.<br />
<br />
<b>Jennise:</b> The idea that “years before when network shows were getting 6+ seasons” is not entirely accurate. 6 seasons still is not the norm. The standard goal for the run of a season is still 5 seasons. One of the big differences is that in years past, if a show made it to 5 seasons you could count on it to be canceled to make room for a new show unless the numbers were extraordinary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DJiEqydI4Yo/Xl2dhRYd6eI/AAAAAAAAdQs/iLavEQw1FHMgKDtoJvmDd68DuwkU7FrEQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/glow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DJiEqydI4Yo/Xl2dhRYd6eI/AAAAAAAAdQs/iLavEQw1FHMgKDtoJvmDd68DuwkU7FrEQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/glow.jpg" width="320" height="180" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="409" /></a></div>I grew up with 22 episode seasons. I've seen people posting that a 22 episode order is evil. I don't believe it is. I believe that the show's order should depend on the story and the showrunner's ability to managing the telling of the story. Some stories don't need 22 episodes to tell their story. <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> is the first to come to mind. No more than 10 episodes were needed to tell that story. On the other hand <i>Siren</i> had a number of threads that were touched on and dropped in a way that suggested there was enough story for a 22 episode season, but because the order was for 10 episodes story threads were lopped off. This is the major element of the “new TV landscape” that disappoints me a great deal.<br />
<br />
The things that I really love about how TV is working these days include the fact that streaming channels have given stories with no hope of getting broadcast level ratings, a chance to be seen. Streaming and downloads killed reruns, which led to the creation of a 'summer season' on the big three broadcast networks. This means that those networks are taking a chance on short-run, sometimes quirky, series. (<i>Braindead</i> on CBS of all networks.) I think the changes that we're seeing now benefits the audience because we're getting more (and hopefully excellent) stories.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y0ejPSlCRhc/Xl2eNss2NZI/AAAAAAAAdQ0/MC_2-xV6eCUfzG-7gvPQiRhTRbKlNC6qQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1511_supernatural_photo03_FULL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y0ejPSlCRhc/Xl2eNss2NZI/AAAAAAAAdQ0/MC_2-xV6eCUfzG-7gvPQiRhTRbKlNC6qQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/1511_supernatural_photo03_FULL.jpg" width="320" height="213" data-original-width="1260" data-original-height="840" /></a></div><b>Angela:</b> Basically echoing everyone else here in that decision depends on the show in question. I’m also one of those who doesn’t mind shows having 20 some episodes in a season, but I agree that some shows don’t require that many, either. Plus, with as many shows that are out there nowadays, it makes sense that a lot of them are going shorter, if only to try and make room for everything.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie:</b> Yes, I do think it's a good thing. Many shows go on for way too long. You could have shorter seasons but more seasons or the opposite. I'm always glad when shows themselves decide to end things. I do believe every show should get the chance to end on their own terms. But those terms should be before the tenth season. As for the length of seasons, I'm all for shorter ones. And for spreading them out across the year.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine:</b> This a hard one, and it really depends on the show. I prefer shorter seasons myself, because you can get fewer “filler” episodes. Even the broadcast channels are picking it up now. And shows should be allowed to end when they end, it gives everyone some closure. Well, maybe not everyone.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">With all the new streaming services being launched, has Netflix had its time in the sun or do you think it will still be the dominant force for the next five years?</div></div><br />
<b>Laura:</b> As it stands I don't think Netflix has that much superior or unique content to offer these days like it did. Nothing there so far really stands out as the next big thing, where Disney+ had breakout success with <i>The Mandalorian</i> and Amazon may rise up with <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> Prequel. The broadcast networks are also launching their stuff too, where CBS AA already has a foothold with <i>Star Trek</i> Franchise and <i>The Good Wife</i>. So unless Netflix comes up with something beloved or truly unique, I don't see them staying on top.<br />
<br />
<b>Lisa:</b> Netflix will surprise us by doing the unexpected and anticipating what we want before we know what that is. Netflix as we know it, however, I would lay odds won't be the one we have in 5 years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RHJ9hGJayIU/Xl2eykOy2hI/AAAAAAAAdRA/mBDpFe-Q3Zgmmz7a2HnB--2jTucen2SewCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/stranger-things-season-4-promo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RHJ9hGJayIU/Xl2eykOy2hI/AAAAAAAAdRA/mBDpFe-Q3Zgmmz7a2HnB--2jTucen2SewCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/stranger-things-season-4-promo.jpg" width="320" height="180" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="408" /></a></div><b>Dahne:</b> Netflix has lost a lot of its variety. Before it was worth the money because you could get all kinds of shows there. With major companies pulling out for their own streaming and the overabundance of Netflix original programming, it's the next thing I will cancel.<br />
<br />
<b>Jennise:</b> I don't think the question is whether Netflix will remain dominant over the next five years. I think the big thing to watch over the next five years will be which of the latecomers to the streaming game will still be around. Most people are not going to get Netflix and Amazon Prime and CBS and NBC and DC Universe and Disney+ and....and...and... (Personally, I'm not paying for a broadcast network's streaming service.) I think this will cause one or more new streaming networks to shut down. I think that's going to be the biggest thing to watch over the next five years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cywW4vw51eU/Xl2fQmKsoII/AAAAAAAAdRE/MY0iNpEs8koMmSwiHCOaKbXm2WUDv7ROgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/gn-gift_guide_variable_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cywW4vw51eU/Xl2fQmKsoII/AAAAAAAAdRE/MY0iNpEs8koMmSwiHCOaKbXm2WUDv7ROgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/gn-gift_guide_variable_c.jpg" width="320" height="132" data-original-width="970" data-original-height="401" /></a></div><b>Jamie:</b> Even without all of the new streaming services, Netflix has changed over the years and not for the better. They seemed to have moved away from quality shows to quantity. They keep canceling shows left and right, rarely let a show move past a fourth season. And I think it's starting to piss people off. So why wouldn't they move on to another streaming service. I think Netflix is going to start falling behind, especially once Disney+ releases their Marvel shows.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine:</b> I’m still waiting to see what Netflix has with all of these deals they’ve got going with Shonda Rhymes and other big names. One thing that bothers me about Netflix is that they’re trying to be everything to everyone. I’d agree that we see more quantity to quality now, like they’re trying to compete with everyone. If they are going to stay competitive I think they need to slow down and figure out who they want to be. There are too many shows out there and more genre-specific channels to air them. Netflix needs to pick up their feet before those big-name showrunners go elsewhere.<br />
