Once Upon A Time, Gotham, Quantico, Agents of SHIELD … all these series in danger of cancellation!

We take stock of the series that oscillate between renewal and cancellation and whose current season may very well be the last.
A week from the beginning of the 2017 upfronts, it is time to take stock of the series that are, as they say in the United States, “in the bubble” . These are the shows of the network channels that have not yet been renewed and whose fate remains totally uncertain . If, in general, it is sometimes possible to predict fairly easily through the hearings which series will be renewed, some are exceptional. Whether thanks to their critical success, a devoted fanbase or simply a show that is close to the heart of the chain, chains can sometimes afford to keep series with weak audiences.
ABC
On the ABC channel, there are four shows whose renewal is still uncertain: American Crime, Agents of SHIELD, Once Upon A Time and Quantico . As for the first, it has always been widely acclaimed by critics. Between his 13 Emmy nominations, including two trophies won, it is certain that the series is important for the chain. On the other hand, it also the series with the worst hearings of ABC. As far as Agents of SHIELD is concerned , it is the arrival of the new series The Inhumans that could harm him. Will ABC keep two shows Marvel knowing they are expensive to produce?
Once Upon A Time has always been ABC’s pillar on Sunday night but recently this pillar is falling apart. His audiences have never been so low and the contracts of the actors come to an end at the end of the season. Maybe a reboot of the series, with a new cast that would cost less to the chain would then be the solution for ABC to keep the series and that it offers a real renewal to its fans. Knowing that ABC is part of the same group as Disney, the series has several reasons to want to keep Once Upon A Time in its programs. Lastly, Quantico is also in the hot seat despite a slight rise in hearings since it passed on Monday evening.
CBS
This is the channel that has the most “in the bubble” series with 2 Broke Girls, Black Code, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Elementary and The Great Indoors. 2 Broke Girls is in its sixth season on CBS and if it has served much in the chain, its audiences keep tumbling down and the series could start to cost the chain a lot. The channel has already renewed 16 of its series and 2 Broke Girls was not part of it, is this a sign? The question also arises for the following series. If the arrival of Rob Lowe in season 2 of Code Black gave a new breath to the series, it was not enough to raise the hearings. As for Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders , in addition to having disappointing hearings for the channel, it also inherited the title of worst series in 2016, by Metacritic. The spin-offs of Criminal Minds are definitely struggling to find their audience.
The big advantage that Elementary has to hope for a new season is the fact that the series belongs to the chain. Besides that the show works very well internationally, which is always a plus . Unfortunately, Elementary does not work as well in the US and ranks 23rd out of the 26 programs CBS offers. Last year, the series was barely renewed, what will it be like this year? The Great Indoors is the only novelty in the chain that is “in the bubble” . While other comedies like Kevin Can Wait or Man With a Plan have already been renewed,
FOX
On the FOX side, it is for Gotham, The Last Man on Earth and New Girl that we worry . Gotham , whose season 3 has just resumed on the FOX, has not been renewed while that with which it forms a duet on Monday night, Lucifer , yes. The series is one of the ten best shows in the chain but the possible arrival of Gifted – a Marvel series – could perhaps push FOX to abandon Gotham to save money. In terms of The Last Man on Earth , hearings disclaim small to small, besides the basic premise of the series – one man survived the Apocalypse and is alone on Earth – began to s’ steam.
NBC
On NBC are the future of Blindspot, The Blacklist: Redemption and Timeless that are in the balance. Blindspot is currently completing its second season and the hearings are far from what they were at the beginning of the series. However, she has the merit of getting along not too badly in a difficult time slot, especially after leaving the lead-in of The Voice . But will this be enough for NBC to renew the series? As for The Blacklist: Redemption , which is the spin-off of The Blacklist , if the audiences of its eight episodes have been stable on average, the numbers remain well below those of the mother series. The series is at the bottom of the list of shows on NBC, with only Emerald City and Powerless behind it and we know that these two have already been canceled . Finally, the fate of Timeless is also uncertain because hearings began to be worse until reaching below the 3 million mark and below the 1% mark on 18-49 year olds. With Celebrity Apprentice as the lead-in in place of The Voice, Timeless works less well and it does not necessarily work in its favor. The fate of Timeless also is uncertain especially because the hearings began to be less good until reaching below the 3 million mark and below the 1% mark on 18-49 years old. With Celebrity Apprentice as the lead-in in place of The Voice, Timeless works less well and it does not necessarily work in its favor.

The CW
The CW has already renewed many of its series, but iZombie and The Originals are on the spot, a bit like every year. While season 3 of iZombie has just arrived on the channel, the hearings are not really in the fixed. However, the series Rob Thomas are often acclaimed by critics, as was Veronica Mars , and IZombie no exception to the rule. Can we then expect a season 4 to the series knowing that it hardly does better than Frequency which will most likely be canceled? If some thought that the end of The Vampire Diaries would play in favor of The Originals , the numbers say the opposite. With only 0.3% of 18-49 year-olds, Julie Plec’s series is far behind the series of superheroes that make the chain’s success. Moreover, the announcement of the departure of Michael Narducci does not announce anything good. One can always console oneself with the idea that the audiences, although very low, are stable and that the chain may want to keep the series .

How to Get Away with Murder Season 3: Episode 12, Bonnie’s Victory, Our Critic

sivertime — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 19:58:41 +0000

New week, new turnarounds in a new season 3 episode of How to Get Away with Murder! Check out our criticism and attention to spoilers.
Who says New Week says New Season 3 episode of How to Get Away with Murder and the mystery around Wes’s death continues in “Go Cry Somewhere Else”. This week, the tension and the suspense have been at the rendezvous and we begin to wonder if we will really have the answer on the murderer of Wes before the end of the season … The young man who died in the ” The final winter’s fire came back on our little screens for a few flashbacks, as we are used to. The key scene was obviously the one where Bonnie asked Frank to follow Wes but not to hurt him and the second flashback at the end of the episode had thus tossed the suspicions of Frank to Nate, who was well with Annalise In the company of Wes the evening of the fire. In the present, episode 12 has well advanced the plot with Laurel’s hospital discharge and Wes’s funeral – as difficult as one could imagine. If on the one hand we saw a certain rapprochement between the Keating 4 and Oliver, on the other the break between Frank and the rest of the group is always more marked.
Now that Frank is an integral part of Annalize’s trial, Bonnie tries at all costs to make him wear the hat despite Laurel’s certainty that Frank could not have killed Wes. It was indeed out of anger that she had been guilty of it, but she, like all the others, knew that the real murderer was still running. However, in addition to Frank, it is not the volunteers who are missing since even Annalise’s mother, who visits her in prison, offers to confess the fire and therefore the murder of Wes to help him out of prison. Fortunately there will be no need for that since Bonnie finally ends up making the judge listen reason when Laurel and Nate discover that the body of Wes has disappeared and that there will be no second Autopsy . Without concrete evidence, Annalise is finally released. So that the misfortune of some makes the happiness of the others and it falls rather well since the vise tightens around the Keating Four and their teacher after Oliver also passed by the interrogation box, not without having been prepared by His little comrades.
Yet the ace of computers has more than one trick in his bag since he confesses to Connor at the end of the episode that he made a copy of the phone that Annalise asked him to erase. Will they find clues as to who set the house on fire? Or is Nate really the culprit, as the end flashback lets us think? Still more questions after a touching episode and which finally stopped the descent into the underworld of Annalise. One wonders moreover how the reunion will take place between her and her small team in the next episode of which you can see the video promo above. It must be said that throughout his imprisonment, Connor, Asher, Michaela and Laurel have constantly doubted his guilt and what to do: help him to protect himself or let him take responsibility for All their crimes. In all cases one always comes back to the same point: they all have the power to be plunged and it is therefore a forced confidence that unites them. While waiting to learn more about Wes’ death, discover the How to Get Away with Murder ranking in our top January series! And you, what did you think of the episode?
