I love this show, and I have a strong feeling this isn’t going to add anything to it. Have any of these “new” seasons for long canceled shows ever been good?

    Can anyone name one show revived for streaming that wasn’t forgettable at best??

    Like there’s clearly a difference in quality and outcome between a show brought back from cancelation (on streaming or otherwise) and a show log finished being yanked from the grave. Futurama had too many banger endings to be the former. I still have a modicum of hope for the new gumball episodes.

      Arrested Development had some great bits in the revived season 4. Tony Wonder, And As It Is Such, So Also As Such Is It Unto You

      It still fell off though.

        Started watching AD again and I gotta admit, even I was too hard on Season 4. I think we got ourselves all hyped up for the movie over the course of 6 or 7 years and when it wasn’t as good as the product in our heads, we turned our backs on it. Season 4 isn’t the magnum opus, it’s the Greatest Hits album/farewell tour, and it’s exactly as good as it needed to be.

        …doesn’t excuse Jeffrey Tambor’s behavior, though. Or Jason Bateman and Will Arnett for defending him.

        Wait, we almost didn’t get the full show? Or are they planning on finishing the story?

        E: just checked and Amazon picked it up after S3 and continued through S6. No confirmation on new seasons :(

          Dont fuck up the ending of my favorite book series Amazon… just leave it alone.

            This is why I’d rather read the books at this point. The show is good as it is I think, but from what little I spoiled of the last 3 books, I can see them turning it into a dumpster fire. They’ve already ruined Wheel of Time by season 2. I don’t see why people can’t just stick to the original material more.

              So much of the ending is almost… almost Lovecraftian. That I really don’t think they could do it justice.

                  If I’m remembering the end of his story, thats kinda part of the Lovecraftian thing I was getting at.
