Before we conclude our episode with Power Rankings, we have a special annoncement from network CEO, Mo Buck. 

I previously mentioned on another platform that I was thinking about shutting down Last Resort Television after two seasons. I've decided to come up with a solution that would allow me to continue to run LRTV while reducing my workload. In short, there will be a third LRTV season. The phase I went through last week happened in the past and will happen again and it's not something that will stop me from working on LRTV. Now, I'll explain to you the solution I found to keep LRTV on air.

You know how in previous seasons I pressured and kept asking to fill the schedule ? Well, no more! I've decided to not set a number of shows for next season, so I'll work with what I have (keep in mind that I won't exceed the number we currently have). This way, I won't feel like I'll be putting pressure on people to write a show simply because I needed one, but because they wanted to. I'll announce next week which shows have been renewed and if you really don't want to renew one of your shows, then message me and I won't expect a third or second season. If you're a new writer who wants to jump into the television world, the best advice I can give you is… start writing now! Message me with a pilot and I'll pick it up or not and you can start working on what is hopefully a LRTV hit! The break will probably be longer that what we had in the past to allow writers to have more time and for me, it would help me make LRTV fit with my hectic schedule better. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them in the dedicated thread over at the Last Resort boards. See you next week!

Now, it's time for… 


1. NEZ PERCE
(Last Week: 1)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Scott Cooper
Damn.... The most recent episode was relentless in its chaos and carnage, being one long, emotionally wrenching battle sequence. Gallo and Cooper has definitely pulled out all the stops, with beloved characters dropping like flies.

2. MANSON
(Last Week: 3)
Writer: Lon Charles / Executive Producer: Antonio Campos
Finally a change in the top three of the rankings. This most recent episode of Manson was just fantastic. I love how they are introducing the various characters, and Jim Sturgess has been fantastic as Manson.

3. ROLLING STONE
(Last Week: 2)
Writer: D.R. Cobb / Executive Producer: Oliver Stone
We haven't seen a celebrity/historic guest star get their own plot thread since Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in the pilot episode. It was a bit jarring at first to open with Joplin, but I liked what Cobb and Stone did with the character.

4. L.A. NOIRE
(Last Week: 4)
Writer: John Malone / Executive Producer: Gavin O'Connor
LA Noire continues to be interesting, even if this was the lightest and least satisfying so far this season. I want to see more of the other characters like the week before.

5. BURNT PRAIRIE
(Last Week: 6)
Writer: Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: James Ponsoldt
Taylor has created a taut dramatic series. Telling the story through a different character each week is working so far.

6. SHOWTIME
(Last Week: 7)
Writers: Mo Buck & Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Steven Soderbergh
Showtime keeps improving now that the long stretch of character introductions is over. The series is a true ensemble, which there are aren't very many of on LRTV.

7. GAUNTLET
(Last Week: 5)
Writer: Matt Parker / Executive Producer: Antoine Fuqua
Speaking of ensemble casts, Gauntlet has continued to milk the time before the team plays its first game of the season. As much as I've enjoyed the behind the scenes drama of the off-season, I'm excited to see some football action.

8. THE SURVIVORS
(Last Week: 12)
Writer: Mo Buck / Executive Producer: Tomas Alfredson
I really enjoyed this week's episode of The Survivors. It may not have the memorable characters of some of the other series on the network, but the writing from Mo Buck is top notch.

9. RUBBER CITY ROCKERS
(Last Week: 8)
Writer: D.R. Cobb / Executive Producer: David Wain
The opening scene of this week's episode is one of the funniest scenes of the season so far. The character interactions this week were great in each and every scene.

10. SHE-HULK
(Last Week: 13)
Writer: Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
She-Hulk finally leaves the 13th spot in the rankings, and really, it's because of the last few minutes of the episode. The legal drama with Jermain wasn't particularly interesting, but the ending let Jenny Slate do her thing, which is the best asset the show has.

11. HAVE GUN - WILL TRAVEL
(Last Week: 9)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Frank Darabont
Walton Goggins continues to be great in the lead role, and he gave a great performance this week. The series continues to show that Paladin is a force to be reckoned with.

12. SURVIVOR: LAST RESORT
(Last Week: 15)
Writer: Chad Taylor
The season is finally starting to pick up speed with some boring contestants booted from the show this week. The challenges feel like they're getting more entertaining as well.

13. HUMAN
(Last Week: 17)
Writer: Ann Morrow / Executive Producer: Michelle MacLaren
Out of the last slot at last. The series doesn't always make sense, but the characters are finally setting themselves apart and developing their own traits and personalities.

14. HYPE
(Last Week: 14)
Writer: Dominic Wilkins / Executive Producer: Stephen Merchant
There were a few funny moments this week, but I can't help but feel like the plot is already treading water, and that's never a good sign.

15. HITMAN

(Last Week: 11)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Francis Lawrence
Honestly, this last episode was one of the worst of the entire series so far. While Skrein continues his increasingly great performance, the plot of the episode was very underwhelming.

16. MIAMI VICE
(Last Week: 16)
Writer: Roy Horne / Executive Producer: Peter Berg
Honestly, at its core there were some interesting things going on in this episode, but there were too many characters to keep track of and it lacked the charm of most episodes.

See you next week!
