"Midnight Texas"

I watched parts of it. I do think the lead is really cute. Who else did you like?

Ugh. Vampires.

The guy who rented him the house, R1...

So the tattoo guy and the guy who does nails are a gay couple? It was kind of insinuated, but not said out-right.

And R2, there's A vampire. It's not a show about 'vampires'.

Nice flopping bulge in that scene with him in nothing but his grey boxer briefs.

It looks interesting. Going to watch it later.

I loved Francois Arnaud (Woof) in The Borgias and I like movies about weird, little western towns, so I'll be watching.

The supernatural stuff, I dunno. We'll see.

It's better represented in books because it is hard to do with subtlety. If the effects are too outlandish it becomes absurd.

Variety ripped it to pieces.

Yeah, I don't care ... I'm loving it.

Whose the blonde angel? He's hot!

I've seen him before but can't recall.

Dylan Bruce is in this and I want to be balls deep in him. That is all

Ooooh! Cesare from The Borgias. Be still my heart.

Two hot guys so far.

R11

Yeah.

A talking cat?

Yes, the cat talks, and better yet ... his name is "Mr. Snuggly." But he isn't. He's an asshole.

It's weird but I like it and will keep watching. I'm intrigued. Jason Lewis has aged but still looks hot as a gay angel.

Watching it right now. Would like a slower pace for the supernatural stuff, but yep, Arnaud is still hot and looks good within a Western locale, so unless it becomes absolutely intolerable, I'll watch again.

He plays a gypsy from a long line of gypsy psychic/scam artists.

r7 Just how I hard I want to rip up Jason Lewis' hole :)

The trailer looked awful and A.V.Club ripped it to shreds. Seems like what True Blood would have been if it wasn't for HBO and Alan Ball to elevate the material, even if just stylistically.

I'll still watch the first episode to decide for myself.

I watched it, even though the commercials and trailer looked pretty crappy; I learned not to be so quick to write off new shows after almost giving up on Hannibal and Legion on first look. Anyway, it was so rushed - I know these are based on books, but the writers put in too much info for non-readers to absorb. Also, it is such a low-rent True Blood ripoff and the cast seems to be sleepwalking.

I zoned out about the time they found the dead woman in the river, but perked up for a few seconds when it appeared that the blond guy was with the Mexican dude. I guess I'll have to tune in case some gay stuff happens (which is the only reason I tune in to the horrible show "Will" on TNT).

Hardly, R21. I'm a non-reader (didn't even know it was based on books) and it was fine.

R9 The ever adorable Jason Lewis, of course.

It's like an upgrade of "Passions" mixed with a little "True Blood". Well done.

So I watched the first episode and I don't know if it was the extremely low expectations I had going in but it was... pretty good? Sure, some of the acting and the dialogue are second-rate, but that goes without saying on a throwaway network show.

I was expecting another Wynona Earp disaster where I had to stop watching after the first ten minutes but I didn't zone out once here. It's just some good old mindless entertainment that might not look anywhere near as good as True Blood but has better pacing and none of that cliffhanger stuff that makes one go nuts eventually. Don't get too attached to it as I don't see another season in this show's future. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Also, Manfred Bernardo is the name of the lead in this show. That's it; that's the joke.

It's NBC. I definitely don't think it has another season in it. I'll be shocked if it finished out its first season.

That said, I'm liking it. It's entertaining, fun, and (for such a derivative concept) relatively original in its execution.

Yeah, that it's on NBC is the most surprising. That show has SyFy written all over it. Canada, cheap, nerdy sense of humor. The premise kind of reminds me of SyFy's Eureka of a town filled with science geeks.

I wish it was on SyFy or CW or some other network. It would likely last longer. NBC isn't kind to shows that aren't instant hits, generally.

Paul from Orphan Black. Yum.

[quote] Also, it is such a low-rent True Blood ripoff

Well, it's based on books by Charlaine Harris, who wrote the books True Blood was based on, so...yeah. I'm pretty sure the book series was a flop.

[quote]Paul from Orphan Black. Yum.

Has he shown cock yet? He had his butt out in Orphan Black but I want to see the dick.

How many shirtless or nude scenes does Dylan Bruce have?

I just finished watching the pilot and the show wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews made it to be. Although I guess the reviewers have seen more than just the pilot. In any case I enjoyed it a lot and I could clearly tell the show isn't as shitty as some of the shows on SyFy etc. It did help that the lead and Dylan Bruce are so sexy. Too bad they most probably won't go gay since I assume the angel(s?) got that covered.

Variety pretty much said some of the actors are terrible yet at least in my eyes acting wasn't really different from other tv shows. I'll definitely check out what happens next week.

I watched it again, and it was actually even better on second viewing. Lots of nice forward references I didn't catch the first time.

The actors all look like they know this won't get a second season. Has Arnaud done anything else of note? He's been trying for a while, hasn't he? Do you think this show on his resume will limit his opportunities going forward? I'd love to be the casting couch that got to soak up his loads.

And I have to say, that talking cat looked spectacular. I was honestly shocked at how good it looked.

Fuck a duck, Peter Mensah has a banging body for an old guy (for any guy, actually). How does he do it? Is he a vamper IRL?

PS "Keep waving those feathers"

R32 None so far. And he's the worst actor of the bunch.

R36 Yeah, great body. And a much better one than the angel guy. Who would have thought that was possible back in the day when he was porking Samantha in Sex and the City?

It needs to be on cable. This cast needs to be naked

Canada, yes, but actual shots of Dallas as well!

I agree with the critics on this one, I thought it was pretty bad. However, it did win its time slot Monday, handily defeating the debut of ABC's Somewhere Between and a rerun of Scorpion. Its 0.9 rating eclipsed all but The Bachelorette and American Ninja Warrior for the night.

Men.com needs to do a shitty gay porn version of midnight texas

Everything looks like gay porn when Dylan Bruce is in it.

r42 God If I had one shot at that ass of his I would be set for life!

R42 He has been blessed with the absence of both range and screen presence. Usually, it's just the one. I swear there's a parallel world right next to ours where Hillary won, Dylan Bruce is a gay porn performer, and everything is okay precisely because of those two circumstances.

Everyone involved in this production - himself included - [italic]must[/italic] be aware that he wasn't hired for his acting chops. So there's really no excuse for him [italic]not[/italic] to be delivering his lines shirtless at all times. Just show us yer tits, Dylan, and DL alone will make certain this gets another season!

r44 jesus fucking christ i'm with you man.

They should have a show where Dylan Bruce plays the main character and he is allergic to clothes

I would love to spaff all over those tits (and face)

r47 I love how you remembered the face

[quote]He has been blessed with the absence of both range and screen presence.

While I don't view him as a new Sir Laurence Olivier things are hardly that bad. He's a capable enough actor and at least for me he always makes the characters he plays interesting. Yes, it's partly because of his banging body and that pretty face but he does have screen presence otherwise as well. And I don't mean his butt but since he's shown it let's take a minute to admire it.

He is fucking perfect! I usually go for a darker look, but he is just wow.

that ass! I want to eat it like it's prime beef

I cannot fathom how anyone can say it's bad.

It was a lot of fun.

R49 I disagree; he's beyond awful.

But who needs actual talent when your butt looks like that? I would suck his soul out of that ass.

R52 It's made for pennies and the cheapness factor is what's probably turning the critics off. That, combined with plain writing wouldn't get any show high marks in the era of peak TV. Whatever, I'm still enjoying it. Feels... comfy.

I think what helped the pilot was the introduction scene (at first I thought the lead was an escort) and the male eye candy. The special effects are good as well.

Back when Dylan Bruce was on As The World Turns, he appeared at the annual Broadway Flea Market. I was getting my picture with him in the photo booth and they handed him something to autograph and he dropped it. He bent down to pick it up and his ass rubbed against my hand. It was hard as a rock. Very nice guy and he smelled great.

R55 You're so precious and that story is fucking hot.

Never trust a man with two first names. And I am unanimous in that

r58 what about your pussy?

Let's get the guys shirtless more often, and this will be must-see TV.

Anyone else watching? Sadly, there has been only a little of Bruce tonight.

Honestly, this show crams like three episodes worth of plot into each episode. SO MUCH HAPPENS. Seriously, any other show would have been on episode six before it got to this point. It's like drinking from a fire-hose.

But it's fun.

I kinda love this show.

I thought I would turn it off after 10 minutes. The show was fun! Yes and so many hot guys.

I do think it's a fun show. Nice light summer fare. It's nice to have a scripted series instead of the endless game shows and reality programs that populate the airwaves. Now I have something to look forward to the next few Monday nights until it ends. Hopefully it does well enough in the ratings that NBC decides to bring it back next summer.

I finally watched the pilot tonight, and then episode 2 and thought it was entertaining enough to keep watching. The men are incredibly hot and I love that there's a gay male couple in the mix. I'll keep watching.

NBC and SyFy are both owned by Comcast/Universal so it very possible that this will show up on SyFy.

I was going to let it go them I saw next week's preview. I like Zachariah.... he's the native sheriff on Longmire, I think.

I'm finding it quite fun, and just do not get the critics calling it 'bad'.

But because I like it, like "Almost Human", I assume it'll get canceled soon.

Dylan Bruce sure tests the strength of the buttons on his shirt, doesn't he?

Two episodes in and they're already pulling that "24 hours earlier" writing schtick that the audiences [italic]always[/italic] love. It added nothing to the story but why not have it anyway, right?

This is so fucking campy and cheap and I can't stop rooting for it because of that.

Francois Arnaud is the sexiest guy with a perfect body. The show is terrible. Has the worst, cheapest CGI. Writing is the same level crap that the Twilight series had, acting is blah. This kind of shit has been done to death. I hope it fails massively.

Has anyone read the books?

I have a vague terrible feeling that Jason Lewis' Mexican boyfriend is going to go all "Quantico" and be a fake gay who is really part of the Evil in Midnight and that he is really keeping an eye on the angel and plotting against him (and really straight).

Shitty history has made me very jaded when it comes to TV Gays.

R70 You know, there was a shot of him lying on the couch in the second episode, with a close-up on his face, and I thought to myself, this man is absolute perfection. I'm shocked that he's 32 yet apparently has no nasolabial folds whatsoever. Lucky bitch.

Yeah, the show has no depth and zero stakes. That woman who carefully locked the Reverend into that hole started shooting at his weretiger form [italic]the moment[/italic] she saw him, without a second thought. That's incredibly bad writing.

And I take back my point about Dylan Bruce being the worst actor of the bunch. That Reverend... is something else. He looked directly into the camera when delivering his lines and they didn't even bother doing a second take. Because they couldn't afford it.

I think the show sucks, but the second episode lost only a tenth of a rating point from the premiere episode, so that's good news for those of you who are enjoying it. If it stays relatively stable, it should finish out its run and maybe even earn a second summer season.

R70 is so wrong about everything I have to imagine he's a Trump supporter.

I was the one who was concerned the spooky stuff wouldn't be subtle enough. Yeah, it's so UNsubtle that it can be enjoyed on a camp level as someone said above if you just get into it - especially the blue eyed vampire and his gun-toting sidekick bringing down the were-tiger/ preacher man.

See, that's the thing I *like* about this show... any other show would have dragged out the reveal of the Preacher guy as a "were-tiger" for WEEKS and MONTHS. This show gets it over with in the second episode.

R74 is the biggest cunt ever. Even Vadge bows down to her putrid, diseased labial folds.

R77, you're projecting again.

r77 Are you OK?

Meanwhile Dylan Bruce's dong. Is it as luscious as his arse?!

If they do a shirtless guy scene in every episode, it's guaranteed to get a second season!

I watched episodes 1 and 2 a few nights back. I liked it despite the awful CGI and the annoying vampire with blue eyes. The ghost grandma is hilarious.

Okay, my question there towards the end: "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CLOSE THE DRAPES?"

Right, R83??????

The angel is a hottie.

I fucking love this show despite its flaws. So many hot guys.

I love it but we should enjoy it while it lasts. Fucking network TV.

Several shirtless guys.

Still a fun show even with some of the obviousness of the plotting and the stupid curtain thing at the end. No idea why anyone would take a shot from an enemy before the enemy drank. I mean DUH.

Nice/interesting back-story though.

[quote]I love it but we should enjoy it while it lasts. Fucking network TV.

It's a summer show. Seasons might mean nothing to you binge-watching Millennials, but for the rest of us it means low-budget, low-value entertainment with little hope of being renewed.

I'm wondering how this would have played in the days of "Buffy".

Gotta say, I don't think I've watched network TV in decades, so they got me to tune in in real time . The Monday time slot works perfectly. It's before the week really kicks in and you can't be bothered.

Midnight held steady at a 0.8 rating this past Monday, consistent with the Monday before, and down just one tenth from its debut episode. The Bachelorette and American Ninja Warrior were the only network shows with higher ratings Monday.

Since this is NBC, and they let Milo show his ass, hopefully we can get a little brief nudity before the season ends.

much better than the cunstant housewives, evening dumb game shows and stupid UNtalent shows. so what if its True Blood light? it is fun, love the mens and lets see some ass AND DONG! keep it nbc...you have very little else worth watching.

Arnaud has a bit of a middle-age spread going on in his midsection and it drives me wild! His legs and ass are pure muscle, though. The Sookie knock off he's porking is a full three to four levels below him on the attractiveness scale and it's a bit bizarre seeing them make out. There's zero chemistry between them as well.

The black vampire actor has an American accent, but also an English one, and an Australian one as well? How does that work then? Did they mean to give off the impression that he's well-travelled?

How do you think Charlaine Harris felt when saw this adaptation for the first time on screen, especially after True Blood? But I guess money don't stink, so she'll be fine, the hack.

[quote]I feel a migraine coming on.

[quote]You don't [italic]really[/italic] have a migraine, do you?

Some of the worst writing on TV right now. And I love it!

[quote] The Bachelorette and American Ninja Warrior were the only network shows with higher ratings Monday.

High praise indeed!

R94, that those shows have any ratings is just proof of the decline and fall of American society.

This show is pure cheesy fun thought.

The guy at the beginning who got eaten first... was sofa king hot!

Why didn't the hot guy tell the girl he stood up that his house had been ransacked?!? That's annoying.

He was obviously concerned about a hidden underground bunker being found... wonder what's in there.

[quote]He was obviously concerned about a hidden underground bunker being found... wonder what's in there.

Since he seems such a cheesy do gooder I wonder if his secret is some sort of Jekyll vs. Hyde thing where he hides an evil alter ego?

I wonder what his abnormality is.

I just wish someone would teach the obviously straight guys playing the gay couple how to kiss. That was embarrassingly bad.

Right? On par with Malek.

Still, the show is fun enough for a Monday night.

Goddammit. Some stupid ninja reality show ran long, so my DVR only recorded half.

And they make you wait two weeks before making an episode available for streaming. So I guess I have to just wait for a couple of weeks to see it, goddammit.

WTF.

They should have changed up from the books and made Manfred gay.

Don't blame the ninja show. (Didn't you watch for the hunky guys participating?) It was Twitler and his damned address that messed up the schedule.

It's NBC so it will be canceled

Midnight, Texas is based on the book series of the same name by author Charlaine Harris who also wrote The Southern Vampire Mysteries, the novels which were adapted into the True Blood television series.

Has anyone read the Midnight books? Are they any good. The Sookie Steakhouse books were not great, but at least they were entertaining.

I love how fast the stories move on this show. It reminds me of early Vampire Diaries before the originals came and never left.

Just watched the first episode liked it

Manfred is a ridiculous name.

He looked cute when he let his jilted bride into his body. The mannerisms were totally indicative of an upset young woman. . They should let him do more of that.

Alistair! Get a kick out of that actor always playing some demonic bad guy.

Glad those racist assholes are all dead. At the hands of a black vampire, no less!

I want to eat him. Now.

"Oh my beeswax, the cat talks" Hee. They shoulda gotten Leslie Jordan to do the voice. It would've been a hoot

And that poor armadildo. Precious little citizen

Finally saw the episode (came available on On Demand today). I have to say, while the plot advanced at light-speed ... it was the weakest episode of the season so far. Not nearly as fun as previous ones.

Did love the bit about the cat, and the armadillo, R112... best moments of the show.

[quote] Manfred is a ridiculous name.

I assume it's a normal name in Germany.

R111, Bobo is certainly one hot fucker. I loved Dylan Bruce in Orphan Black but his character was basically a psycho. I stopped watching Orphan Black after two seasons so no idea if he really was. I'm just enjoying him way more as Bobo.

Wow... really good episode tonight. A bit predictable, but still, loved it.

The end of this episode was actually decent as opposed to camp. (See? The succubus from the last ep was right!)

Please consider giving this thread a WW so it gets ungreyed. I can't believe people are so petty and FF threads they're not interested in instead of blocking them. Like, how spiteful can you get?!

What does FF mean?

R118 Flames and Freaks (the red button next to WW). Should be used on abusive and trollish posts and threads. Instead, many these days also use it to remove threads they find annoying. A thread that receives enough FFs gets hidden, which means users with more delicate settings will never get to see it at all.

I have the most undelicate settings, and I no longer see it in the main feed, only in the watched panel. Fucking cunts

Aw darn. Connor turned out to be the serial killer (and not his Dad). But the show is pretty good except a few CGI problems (like the scene where Connor and his sister are driving).

It was so obvious that Connor was the killer. But I still like the show. It's a fun diversion. And the Angel showed who he is and used "his light", as he described it. He also said "they" would be coming for him if "they" knew there was a fallen angel around. Looks like next week another fallen angel will be coming for him.

There's enough mystery to the show and its characters that I'm intrigued to find out more. I hope they keep it a summer series and do a few more seasons. It's nice to have something to watch Monday nights during the summer.

Thanks to everyone who pitched in their WWs and brought this thread out of the greys!

I feel like Arnaud is the only one doing serious acting in this show and the rest are either laughable or incapable. I mean, what the hell was Connor's dad doing when he was sad there at the end? Has that actor ever seen anyone cry before?!

When was it established that the angel's boyfriend left town? Did I miss that or was it just never shown? That [italic]was[/italic] his boyfriend he was calling at the end of the episode, right?

I'll never get over the mismatch between Arnaud and his girlfriend (can't even remember her name). No chemistry there whatsoever.

I thought the angel's boyfriend was a horrible actor and so glad he's gone...it's could also be they don't want to push the "gay" angle too much or don't want to continue to pay his guest star salary. Jason Lewis was originally supposed to be guest star status but then got bumped to series regular - he still looks smoking hot! Don't understand why the director had Creek - the traumatized sister - drive the Angel and Vampire back to town in the truck when the two guys could have driven (Ha!) and why Jason had that hideous shawl wrapped around his gorgeous bod when they got out of the car. And yep, the majority of the acting is really bad but I like it - nice eye candy, moves fast, and check your brain at the door fun.

LOL, R124, definitely check your brain at the door fun! Great description. With so many TV shows trying to be dark and moody, it's nice to have something light and frothy. A sugary, airy confection, but satisfies your sweet-tooth.

Right [125]! Part of the fun is just how horrible the acting and dialogue can sink to! It's getting a 0.9 in the ratings so there's some hope it'll come back next season - all the male actors should be shirtless all the time to help ensure a return . Also, [123] for the *thankfully* absent boyfriend, in the Succubus episode Jason Lewis mentioned he was at a "Nail Convention" (no gay stereotype here!) but yep, last episode he just blurted out that he sent him away. Maybe the boyfriend is a demon and Jason fell in love with him so that's why he's fallen. It's actually a nice balance after watching Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks :-)

Love this fun mindless show more and more. Terrible acting mostly but that is true for most genre shows. Love all the hot guys too. This show is better than the novels. Now if They would up the budget for some sets! And teach some of those fish to act.

I'm undecided as to whether this show is a guilty pleasure, or just a plain old pleasure.

I like it.

I'm admitting it.

Now if only a certain small sub-segment of a particular fandom would tune in for the gay angel, they could leave my favorite tv show alone.

Plus this angel is way hotter than the other idiot.

Looking at the next episode promos it's a female bounty hunter angel that comes after the HOT ANGEL..writers missed a golden opportunity to have two shirtless hot angels go at it! Don't they realise their audience is gay men and straight women?!?! Morons

SOO TRUE! Straight men do not watch shows like this. Get those hot men shirtless and get them in shorts, jockey shorts too! Show hairy legs and armpits, nips, cute butts. That angel could ask for anything he wants from me. This is a fun series that makes you forget the world for an hour. We need other series like this, just fun without a message.

I'm pretty sure everyone involved in this show sees it as a serious drama where they should be doing it as campy fun! Bobo should be in booty shorts and nothing else in every scene and everyone acts if it's perfectly normal. HOT Angel and lead guy just walk around shirtless and all their scenes should be in the Midnight gym - though given the budget it's probably in the back of the diner with a couple of milk jugs but that's fine as long as they do a lot of bends, squats and military presses lol

Was True Blood a show aimed at a straight male demographic? I don't think so. I'd guess it's the same with this one. But with NBC I bet there are a few restrictions on how camp (aka. gay) the show can be.

This week's episode was so ridiculous. I'll keep watching though.

th gay angel was on sex and th city with the old hag . samantha ho. He is still hot but looks 60!

I think the angel is a total hottie but, omg! Every time I see him I want to reach inside my tv and put his hair up in a scrunchie!!!

Hate, hate, hate his unruly locks!

I wonder what visage the demon had when the angel fell in love with him. Cause dude be ugly as hell.

[quote] Has anyone read the Midnight books? Are they any good. The Sookie Steakhouse books were not great, but at least they were entertaining.

I read the first two and I liked them a lot. That's why I was really looking forward to this show for almost a year. The writing is similar in many ways to the [italic]Sookie[/italic] books.

[quote]I think the angel is a total hottie but, omg! Every time I see him I want to reach inside my tv and put his hair up in a scrunchie!!! Hate, hate, hate his unruly locks!

I [bold]love[/bold] unruly locks. *sigh*

They really need to work on the affection and especially the kissing. I've never seen two more blatantly straight men try to do a gay kiss that they so clearly don't want to do and just utterly fail to be even remotely convincing.

Still, love the show. I mean, it's terrible, but it's so much fun. And the lead guy is really hot.

Arnaud is pretty great in this. That Southern Twang in his voice when he was posessed by him Grandmother was pretty good. The show itself is pretty basic but the casting is great (almost on a Gotham level).

Bowie, the Angel Bounty Hunter, was played by Breeda Wool. She played the closeted Lesbian contestant, Faith Duluthn, in the first season of Unreal.

Arnaud is actually a good actor and seems to be the only one on the show giving a quality performance. He is sexy as hell, too. I love all the underwear shots.

So.... Good episode. Only two more left.

Next episode is on Wednesday for some reason, then the finale in a week.

Mindless fun. I hope it comes back next summer. The only thing I hate is the Creek character. She is such a bore and a bland actress.

Exactly, R142.

She is so, so bland! I don't like her at all for Manfred.

He should be with that curandera woman, Fiji.

No angel again this week. At least I won't despair over his ugly ass, unconditioned hair!

Is the grandma really gone for good? I liked her.

Yeah... losing the grandmother is upsetting. I really liked her. But of course, she has to move on eventually.

I was hoping she gets some big exit like sacrificing her energy or something to defeat some baddie. But I guess that means she is at peace now.

Don't forget... another new episode tonight!

For some reason.

Is it some fucking vampire/zombie shit? So fed up with that.

(rolling eyes at R147)

No zombies. Only one vampire (save for one episode which had an entire pack).

Next week is the finale!

Loved it. I wondered how they were going to get two more episodes out of the show before the end, and now I know... and that was well done.

That was great!

Poor Fiji.

Can you catch up on this series anywhere?

On Demand, I imagine.

Fiji did a great job playing her younger self. She seemed at least a decade younger and 15 pounds thinner. Not quite sure how she pulled off the latter.

It's on hulu and the NBC app.

Well she wears all flowy, loose material, kinda hiding her figure.

Now we know why 😳😳

Whom did they sacrifice? The cat's not dead. Manny's not dead. I call shenanigans

We didn't see the cat after Manfred woke up again. Or Manfred and Fiji misunderstood the spell and the one asking the question has to be "dead" in order to be able to ask the question and receive the answer.

Um... the main character died. DUH. Did you pay any attention at all??

He died but he got better.

Love the cat.

So, is it being renewed? It's silly and the episodes feel rushed, but it's amusing.

Imagine if HBO or Showtime had picked it up, we'd be seeing some male butts.

Well?

Finale tonight!

a wedding; how cute; and a nice teaser for season two (we hope).

Seemed a little easy, but hey, still a fun show and I still hope it gets a new season.

Right? It was wrapped up nicely.

A lot of sex, too, but just a kiss for the angel and the demon... Half hidden by that damn unruly hair.

Hopefully it does come back.

[quote]Hopefully it does come back.

The ratings for the finale tied the series high and matched the premiere ratings.

Apparently people started tuning in as the season progressed.

NBC kept Grimm on the air for years. It looks likely because of that, this will get another season.

It was wrapped up a little to quickly. It was treated like any of the other one day bad guys. But I loved that they did the "If he wants a virgin, let's fuck" solution. I hope it comes back but they need to recast boring Creek and the boyfriend of the Angel. He's to bland.

Where the hell did that Creek actress come from?

Good Jesus she's horrible and non-descript. Boring and bland.

If she's supposed to be the audience I hope we're a hell of a lot more interesting than that.

I wish the gay lovers weren't so obviously two straight guys who have no idea how gay men show affection.

[quote]Where the hell did that Creek actress come from?

She was on "Parenthood" as the Bravermans' lesbian daughter.

Finished this yesterday. So bad.

Of course they used the mother of all tropes for the finale: a straight couple has to have sex in order to save the world. In other words: there's nothing more detrimental to the fate of humanity than a woman who's never been penetrated. Also, "It needs me to die" is such awkward phrasing to my ears for some reason.

I'm glad the grandma is no more. She's tied with the preacher for being the worst actor in the cast. Is she even accredited as an actor or did they just pull someone off the street?

R136 Those aren't even locks, it's just strawy hair that needs to be cut off immediately. He's too old to be rocking his Sex And The City hair; it makes him look like an old angry lesbian.

R169 It actually makes me upset that they would pair Arnaud with someone so plain and bland and expect their relationship to be believable. As an aside, she desperately needs bangs like no one's ever needed bangs before. Either that or a personality transplant.

R172: It was upsetting primarily because his character was so wrapped up in her that it wasn't that believable. Cesare and Lucrezia (on The Borgias) were very believable even before they took it there.

R172, seriously, I mean this with love, get over yourself.

(smh)

He's entitled to an opinion, besides. I was the one who made the points about the dudes' hair and the boring, bland creep or creek, whatever.

Any word is this was picked up. I haven't heard anything.

Good news, everyone! Franny/Manny will be back to mole about in the second season. Oh, my beeswax, indeed

I hope they show a lot more ass in the 2nd series

I'm glad it's coming back, put I'm even really happy that the really boring female love interest for the main guy is not coming back.

I thought about his crapfest just now because it's the perfect summer show to watch while your brain is all frazzled from heat and sangria. Unfortunately, Reddit tells me NBC decided to air it in the autumn. Boo! That's like airing Glow during wintertime, just wrong.

[quote]Additionally, two cast members from Season 1 — Sarah Ramos and Yul Vazquez — will not be coming back as series regulars. The hope is for them to appear as guest stars, reprising their characters. Because of the long gap between the time the show shot its first season and was renewed for a second, I hear the options on at least some of the actors had lapsed. I also hear Ramos was courted to come back full time.

Oh, happy days! The worst two things about this show are no more. Why the fuck they would court her to come back is beyond me. I do wonder how the new showrunners will impact the show; Lord knows this garbage can only improve.

Watched the whole thing On Demand. Bobo makes me breath funny.

Who else is excited for season 2? It starts on Friday.

Since this is Datalounge let us take a moment to appreciate Francois' penis.

Manfred is fucking gorgeous.

^^^ that he is. Having Franny run around in his chonies was a nice touch. Unforch the ratings are in the turlet, and Cancel Bear is all but calling it.

Yul Vasquez is the preacher? I liked his character...will they be killing him off I wonder?

I was shocked it even got a second season. All the shit I like usually gets cancelled.

r183, Boss, da buuush, DA BUUSH!

I like the show. It's slightly edgier than a feel-good show on Lifetime.

Who else is watching with me?

Wow. Another hot episode with Dylan Bruce "naked" in the shower (damn you, steam!). Josh Kelly is a great addition to the show as Walker hitting on Joe. Only realized in this episode that I know Josh Kelly from UnREAL. Of course they had to come up with a stupid reason why Bobo and Fijy had to break up.

Manny and the wifey are totes gonna bone, right?

The show did well as a [bold]summer show[/bold] but they're killing it by putting it on during the regular fall season.

[quote]Wow. Another hot episode with Dylan Bruce "naked" in the shower (damn you, steam!).

That's the other problem with this show being set in the True Blood universe it would thrive on cable or streaming. NBC is never going to let it go all out.

The writing feels so clumsy, almost teen show like, at times. Like the writers learned how to write for the show from George Lucas.

We know how powerful Figy is, why doesn't she remove the curse HERSELF.

She is be the most powerful citizen of Midnight.

And enough with Manfred sucking in ghost smoke.

Expand his powers.

And the red headded wife who looks like the Viberzi actress, you KNOW she has something up her...sleeve...

Wow. Total drama! And of course the twist that probably everybody saw coming of who is the other twin.

Angel kills his demon lover of a thousand years after lover demon found out that the angel hooked up with a common, human demon hunter.

Creek came back only to get murdered (probably by Patience).

Why did he clip his own wings? So he's just done being an angel now?

The whole Fiji gone bad witch storyline is just terrible. I mean I get that the show needs drama at all times, but imho Parisa Fitz-Henley can't pull it off.

I am shipping Fiji and Manfred. Bobo is way too man for her.

I love this show. I can't explain why. It's campy fun. With hot guys.

More Josh Kelly please... less chick drama with Patience/Hipatia. Manfred isn't the hottest guy on the screen when gay cowboy Josh is gracing the screen. Damn, Kelly is one sexy ginger. 😍

[quote]imho Parisa Fitz-Henley can't pull it off.

I disagree, she may not be consistent, but she was really good in that scene where she discovered the trickster. Probably because the scene was low key.

It’s canceled.

Thank god R206. I caught part of the episode where the redheaded chick and mixed chick were trying to summon something. I couldn't help but be distracted by the redheads forced British accent. Just.....no

When that's how ur episode starts , I know the rest has to be bad.

Fuck off, R207. The show was fun. I'm surprised it got a second season, so I'm thankful it did. But I'm still disappointed it's been canceled.

So the season finale, next week, is the end of the series?

Apparently so.

It says they're still shopping the show around for another home, but frankly, I'm not hopeful.

The show just got incredibly complicated in the last two episodes.

I can't imagine anyone picking up this mess.

It is turning out to be a soap opera worthy of a Timmy "Passions" martini.

Well, at least they sewed up ALL the loose ends.

I'm going to miss this show. For sure.

Figi ended up a Good Witch.

A fitting end to the series I guess... but it's annoying that it ended on a cliffhanger we'll never get any resolution to.

So the series ended with the Midnight Knight walking into town.

Never thought that Kai would be the good guy.

It's annoying as fuck that they canceled it. If they'd left it as a Summer show, it would have done so much better. But they buried it on Friday nights and wondered why the ratings fell. Studio dumbasses.

And Bobo gave the foreshadowing that the soul of the someone not met was going to be their child's.

Oh, those Monkey Paw, Loki, Devil's Bargain hi-jinks...

I will miss those hot studs.

I gonna miss it too. That trickster actor was some good-ass casting. He's creepy AF. I think this is one of those shows that should have gone straight to Netflix or Hulu instead of a major network. Like Constantine, Dracula, Hannibal, Exorcist, Damian, etc. These networks just don't seem very supportive of these types of shows.

Yeah, there are some hot dudes on this show. Shit, ALL the dudes are hot. Especially, Josh Kelly.

I really loved this show. Just mindless fun with the best eye candy on TV. Hopefully a cable network picks it up and gets the cast as naked as possible.

R220 You are right, they didn't support it. Leaving it off the air for over a year and then dumping it on Fridays.

I have never seen so many hot men kiss so deeply on a show.

The Angel, the Demon and the Demon Hunter should be on Pornhub...

Oh well. Just had the finale in the UK. Going to miss it. Fun, sit and wallow entertainment (it's not going to get picked up - it's not a superhero show)

Francois Arnaud needs a new project. I love him and he's a good actor.

I'm guessing there's a zero-point-zero-zero-one chance of some other place picking this show up... sad. I think it'd be great on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime.

Lifetime would probably take it, but cut its budget and say no to the "gay" stuff.

[quote]I have never seen so many hot men kiss so deeply on a show.

Y’know...I was gonna post “The fuck are you talking about? What about True Blood or AHS?” but then I realized that you are absolutely correct.

Been watching this during lockdown and gotta say I love the unadulterated cheese of this show!
