Starting this week, you will learn about a new show per week, so you can get exited about our second half.
Here are this week's ratings:
1. ROLLING STONE (-)
Writer: D.R. Cobb / Executive Producer: Oliver Stone
Two straight episodes of Hunter S. Thompson craziness is quite the treat. I've been very impressed with this season's ability to maintain energy and character momentum.
2. CRIME OF THE CENTURY: LEOPOLD & LOEB (-)
Writer: Lon Charles / Executive Producer: Bennett Miller
Last week was down right brutal. We all knew what was coming, but Charles and Bennett made it all so visceral.
3. SHOWTIME (-)
Writers: Mo Buck & Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Steven Soderbergh
This Ricky-centric episode was a lot of fun. Since it's already been announced that Manganiello will be leaving the series, it will be interesting how his story line works out.
4. CALL MY AGENT (UP 2)
Writer: Dominic Wilkins / Executive Producer: Jason Reitman
Julia Garner gave a very entertaining performance as a method version of herself in this Rainn Wilson led episode. Bob tends to have some of the funniest interactions with the celebrity guests, and this episode showed just that.
5. HITMAN (-)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Francis Lawrence
This season has had some very interesting, more ensemble aspects. This season has a lot more moving parts than previous seasons, which I've been enjoying.
6. SHE-HULK (UP 3)
Writer: Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Sure, the ratings haven't been great. Although viewership has never been particularly impressive for any Marvel Comics television, LRTV or otherwise. I really liked this episode, and thought Scott Porter gave a fun performance as The Sentry.
7. L.A. NOIRE (DOWN 3)
Writer: John Malone / Executive Producer: Gavin O'Connor
The over-arcing mystery of the murders potentially being connected has been interesting for the most part, but I'd like to see more clues to help the audience out a little more.
8. BOREAS (DOWN 1)
Writer: Ann Morrow / Executive Producer: Mark Romanek
Boreas is an entertaining show, but I don't think this latest episode was the strongest. It felt like a lot of planning, not a lot of doing, which left the story the episode a little stagnant.
9. THE SURVIVORS (DOWN 1)
Writer: Mo Buck / Executive Producer: Tomas Alfredson
The development of The League has given the series a lot of good energy, but I am admittedly having trouble following some of the plot threads right now.
10. MIAMI VICE (UP 1)
Writer: Roy Horne / Executive Producer: Peter Berg
I enjoyed this stripped down episode. I definitely missed Tubbs, Castillo and the rest of the squad being an active part of the story, but Holloway showed his ability to carry the show in this more intimate episode.
11. THE CONTROLLERS (DOWN 1)
Writer: Jimmy Ellis / Executive Producer: Dan Trachtenberg
The characters just don't feel realistic right now. Other episodes have done better, but this week just felt off to me on the character front.
The Controllers : The series may be coming to an end sooner than you might think. The sci-fi series from Dan Trachtenberg and Jimmy Ellis based on Ellis' own LRF film Control was ordered for six to eight episodes, but it seems like the series will end after its sixth episode, to be aired in two weeks.
She-Hulk: I told you last week that I heard rumors about the show ending, and I'm saddened to confirm that the second season of the Phoebe Waller-Bridge produced show will be its last. Low ratings got the best of the series, but an agreement was already reached to end the show after its sophomore season.
The Survivors : Another series that might be in danger is Mo Buck's own, The Survivors may be ending after its second season. The series was never a ratings hit, but cost were kept low in its first season, allowing it to see another season, but it seems like it could be on its last legs. The re-edited second season didn't work as planned and some regular cast members are reportedly angry that their roles were significantly cut, so I'd be surprised to see a third season.
Enough talking about what's already on the air, now let's talk about what's to come for Last Resort Television...
The Laws of Justice : Writers Dominic Wilkins and Mo Buck will team once again to write a crime dark comedy that is really hard to define. The series is based on a French Canadian series that served as a very loose basis for Wilkins' LRF film Bright Neon Lights. The series is a 22-episode order, which means the season is sure to live to see two seasons. No expenses were sparred in the casting, since the production budget is rather low. Domhnall Gleeson (Peter Rabbit, Kindred) and Andrew Scott (Fleabag, His Dark Materials) were hired to play the two leads, two best friends who write a television series together and are ready to do whatever it takes to make it better. They will be joined by D'Arcy Carden (The Good Place, Barry) and Emily Meade (The Leftovers, The Deuce), who will respectively play Gleeson's wife and Scott's sister. No showrunner is hired yet, but rumors are it could be a MBWA regular.
