Agreed. I’m waiting til the finale to sign up for Starz for a month or whatever

Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) are starring.

I don't think anyone else from the announced cast is from any prior TWD show.

I'm sorry you seem to be too dense to understand, but you HAVE been given many answers. I'm not sure why this is such a hard concept for you to grasp.

> Not everyone lives in the city, but most do.

Roughly 80% of the US lives in urban areas, but that still leaves 20% who do not. They watch TV, too. OTA often is the best option for them.

> If these people are that poor, what money are they making?

Just because they don't make enough to pay $200 a month for internet and/or cable doesn't mean they make no money at all. Someone on a fixed income still buys products. In fact, they probably buy many of the products advertised on local stations.

You seem to be stuck on the idea that just because a pay option exists that everyone should choose that option. But many people would rather get it for free. I'm surprised you aren't asking "why do libraries exist when you can buy books on Amazon?"

And Puff the Magic Dragon was just about a dragon, man.

Thanks for the reply. I know there is already a preexisting infrastructure, but Im still not quite sure how it gets the utilisation that makes sense. I would discuss it more, but I gotta close this post. I have no idea why I'm getting so much hate comments, but this isn't productive. I don't deserve this. I really do appreciate you though.

But you didn't. Not everyone can afford it, but that's not most people. Not everyone lives in the city, but most do. Furthermore, OTA depends on advertiser revenue. If these people are that poor, what money are they making?

There are a lot of old people who don’t know how to use a smart tv. Or people who can’t read trying to navigate it. It’s much easier for them to use that than signing up for services. Besides that, I know people who just use cash and never use their card for anything. It’s that kinda area.

For real, THERE WAS LITERAL GRIT EVERYWHERE

and I'm sure even the radio people grew up in a world where cliffhangers had already been an established storytelling strategy

Exactly what it says.

I take back what I said. I have no idea why I am being treated this way.

What are they gonna say they were frozen all this time since the original finale and that the board of directors kept them that way for observation while continuing the cloning progra-OOOOhhhhhhh.

Super underrated show, the first 2 seasons are perfection

I wanted this to be good but it sucks ass

A part of the equation I don't see anyone else putting is that for the broadcaster in existing networks/region it is relatively very cheap to operate. IIRC the total cost for the over-the-air broadcasting would for many markets and stations would essentially be a rounding error and easily still make a profit.

On this point alone they would have to REALLY drive down the numbers hard for them to not even bother, and even then it would more likely just see channels in smaller regions merge or let the broadcast from the larger region take over for a long period.

I'm not sure, i'm still watching but the show is pretty good so far. It's not on the level of "24", which I think is one of the best action shows, but it has similar vibes.

It's fine but it's very much the equivalent of one of those trashy paperback love novels. It's a female fantasy story and the kind of logic required in those stories drives a lot of the action...

Does it bug or annoy you when people talk so flippantly about depression like OP? Genuinely curious. Some people are actually suffering due to trauma or a chemical imbalance in their brains and OP has depression from a recent Netflix binge.

After watching all seasons of The Americans I set my subtitles to 'visible from space' size and it's wonderful. Does it look stupid? Yes. Is it effortlessly easy to read the subtitles now? Also yes. I can read normal sized ones just fine, but there's absolutely a processing cost to that still. Switching to small discreet ones is like switching to a book written in a fancy font. You can read it just fine, but it's not as smooth and effortless to do so.

I think they overestimate how successful the cast is. I mean most have had steady work but Adam Scott and Lizzy Kaplan are the big names and one didn't come back. And Scott has gained more notice from Severance than years of solid comedy work. Severance fans are not necessarily going to line up for this style of comedy. I do, but I doubt I'm the majority. Most of the others have just had really good side roles in something since

Because it’s free. It’s very simple

I agree with your assessment of what the show is.

That is why I don't like it. It just feels... small.
