Netflix viewer numbers will surpass ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox by 2016
Netflix does not give a fuck about them antiquated, cable-tethered “television” “stations.” Or their archaic signifiers. The Lumbering Streaming Giant stands primed to surpass those motherfuckers in 2016.
Neil Gaiman is writing episodes of the ‘American Gods’ adaptation
Neil Gaiman is writing episodes of the American Gods adaptation for Starz. Which makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, how do you instill faith in an understandably cautious fanbase regarding an adaptation? You bring in the source material’s creator. Well, at least that instills faith in me.
‘Daredevil’ Season 2 is being described as Daredevil vs. The Punisher
Daredevil season two is being billed as The Man Without Fear versus The Punisher. Some are claiming that Big Pun is the “Big Bad” of the season, but that seems a bit erroneous. I imagine the two crime fighting motherfuckers are going to have the same goal: eradicating scum bags. It is their means of execution that is going to have them butting heads. (Mainly that the Punisher will be literally executing the pieces of shit.)
‘Justified’ producer adapting Elmore Leonard’s ‘Gunsights’ for TV
Justified may have ended (and fuck I need to finish watching the series), but Elmore Leonard is returning to TV. That is, if an executive producer for Justified has his way.
‘Southern Bastards’ being developed for TV by FX. Deep Fried, Bloody Yes.
Southern Bastards is the fucking realest. Grimiest. Filthiest, most brooding shit going. So FX developing it for a TV series? Sign me up twice over. It’s like Justified. But with football.
Aaron Paul is cast as the lead in new Hulu drama
Well, we know what Aaron Paul is doing now. And lord, it can’t be any fucking more poorly received than Need for Speed, can it?
