Good in my view, it means i don't have to watch the rest of the season. it really wasn't doing it for me.
They are just teasing most of the time. |

Interesting to see Dave, very slowly, starting to pick up some US shows.

Starz has give the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel American Gods a straight-to-series order. Nothing was specified about number of episodes.

Yip, with this and Parks and Recreation they're starting to broaden their channel.
Can't see the two going well together myself, but good luck to them. |

American Gods sounds brilliant. I read about them adapting this to television about a year or so ago. Plus Bryan Fuller is apart of it and he is one of the most underrated writers on television.

Why only nine and not ten like S2?

My guess is that Showtime has Twin Peaks next year which will be 18 episodes split into two which is 9 episodes each and they want to pair it with Penny Dreadful.
I wonder how Showtime is going to fit all these new shows with Billions, Twin Peaks as well as their existing shows. |

Just seen the first 2 episodes of 'Complications'.
It is well filmed and acted but it suffers from having characters and situations that I have little sympathy for. I'm going to call it a one season show. |

I'm going to watch episode 3 when available, but if that doesn't work for me then I may give the rest of the series a miss. It really could go either way for me, but it does seem unlikely to go beyond a first series in any case. |

Was the series worth it in terms of exploring and explaining the Hannibal character?
It has an incredibly rabid fanbase (and by all accounts is fairly cheap thanks to a co-production deal), so I'd be amazed if it doesn't get revived by somebody. It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime Instant Video (in the US at least), and they've just announced a push for more original content, so maybe they'll pick it up? |

To be honest the show is better suited on cable and probably wouldn't have been cancelled if it was. NBC was always going to cancel it. |

Hardly a shock. While I didn't think much to it, it was too dark to be on network television. It would be much more suitable on Showtime or FX. Add it with Twin Peaks and Penny Dreadful, and you have a triple threat programming there.

The Comeback has been renewed for a third season. But despite a renewal, Michael Patrick King has said the third season won't be made anytime soon. It could be a few years until they decide to actually write and film it. They want to do it in their own time.

If the first couple of episodes of Hannibal Season 3 are anything to go by, I can't say i'm massively surprised it's been cancelled as i've found them to be rather dull and pretentious.
Don't get me wrong, it's very stylish and Mads Mikkelsen has certainly established himself as the definitive Hannibal Lecter IMO, but it's just not doing it for me at the moment. Just reading that a rights issue might have been part of the decision with Fuller seemingly wanting to introduce Clarice Starling in a 4th Season. |

It seems fans are campaigning for the show to be picked up by Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Having saved Arrested development, The Killing and Longmire, will Netflix want to save another show despite making it clear they want to remain with just their own creations? |

I like Mads Mikkelsen as an actor but the programme for me seemed to become very pretentious. Given that it has been kept going this long, but with low viewing figures throughout, I'd be surprised if Netflix did bother when there's other, more audience grabbing programmes that they can show. |

Given Hannibal has an exclusive streaming deal with Amazon Prime, I'd be very very surprised if it went to Netflix.
But it has a co-production deal, and as a result is, by all reports, very cheap to NBC, so it'll probably go somewhere. |
