Almost positive the prep work for a second season is already underway. I've read a couple of interviews where the people involved are discussing how things will happen in the next season.Finished Shadow and Bone--good stuff, and thought they did very well with their budget.
Really hope netflix goes ahead and orders season 2, although it won't be coming anytime soon.
Castle is really good, but such a pain to watch since no one has it (not on Netflix/Prime/Hulu/etc)Been binging Castle
By the 4th ep I got a little sick of some of the over production but if this were consumed like normal TV, as in, over four weeks it probably would have been fine.Let's see what you think after you have watched it all.
I thought it was very disappointing in the end, essentially 1.25 at most episodes plus 2.75 episodes of fluff 'n' fold = 4.00 episodes.
What with all the constantly repeated cheap-production scenes I felt like I was undergoing déjà vu of déjà vu of déjà vu.
I have been many times to the museum itself; even without those paintings it is truly amazing, an American jewel.
Don’t know if it’s just me, but the second half of Shadow & Bone was not as good as the first.Holy crap, this story of how Shadow and Bone basically turned out how it did because of a tweet and a new year's resolution:
‘Shadow and Bone’ Is a Major Hit for Netflix, but It Almost Didn’t Happen
To bring Leigh Bardugo's best-selling novels to Netflix, EP Eric Heisserer adapted two very different books in the same creative universe.variety.com
Also explains exactly why the heist-crew ended up in the story--it wasn't a strategic decision at all, those were simply Heisserer's favorites and he wasn't going to run a show in the universe without them.

I thought centering it so much on the Italian mafia and basically waving off an Irish connection was a bit too... on the nose(?) about the directors beliefs.
Overall it was pretty good. The heavy mafia focus, even if that is likely who did it, kind of made the whole bizarre nature of the case less bizarre. Like, we never get back to the original guards and some of the weird **** happening there? Definitely a bit sad when you consider the likely fate of the works.
The more I think about it, the less I liked it. It was flat from the start, and just got progressively worse. The only characters I didn't find either annoying, super repetitive, and/or not compelling at all were the paintings themselves, and the thing barely spent any time on them.By the 4th ep I got a little sick of some of the over production but if this were consumed like normal TV, as in, over four weeks it probably would have been fine.

Distant, The Americans is exceptional. Closest to Homeland is The Bureau (French)Loved The Americans - is Homeland the closest relative show?
