    That’s three more seasons than I thought it would get. I’m sure it’s a fine show, but SyFy is on its last legs.

        They’ve been right. I’m surprised there’s any scifi on the channel at all now. It’s been primary wrestling for years

          They don’t have a lot going on right at the moment, but The Expanse was the best sci-fi show in decades, so maybe you’re painting with a brush that’s just a tad too big.

          But for being on their last leg for almost 25 years (of the channel’s 32 year life) they sure are still surviving. Whether you agree with their programming or not they are still here.

            I don’t really agree with this argument. TLC, MTV, VH1, History, Discovery, Animal Planet, etc are all still there despite being pretty much 100% reality TV these days. Most cable channels cycle between showing the same garbage TV and only still exist so that cable companies can brag about having 1000 channels even though they all show the same stuff and have a historically low subscriber count. They’re zombie channels.

      It’s all right. I fell off it after one too many comedy “animal accidentally gets killed” scenes for me, which hurt what was otherwise a fun, feel-good sitcom. Tudyk is excellent as always and the supporting cast of small-town weirdos are mostly likeable. It’s not for me but I can understand people loving it.

    Syfy must just have the worst sales team of all time.

    This show just became available to stream legally in Canada.

    Eureka and Waterhouse 13 are only available to buy from Apple, no streaming.

    Battlestar Galactica also not available to stream in Canada and hasn’t been for a long ass time.

    Like, what are they even doing? This is free money they are just leaving on the table for no decernable reason.

    bummer, it is such a great vehicle for Alan Tudyk shenanigans. in the last few episodes it felt like the various storylines were nearing a conclusion anyway, i just hope it doesn’t end on a major cliffhanger.

    They made more than 1 season? Damn! I missed the boat on that one. I loved it and wished there was more of it…

    Kind of annoying when a service that so often puts “new episodes” banners on things just slips it mannerless into your recommends like it was a rewatch. And you only find out once it’s been cancelled.

      No no no, you’re thinking of Silent Rise. This one’s about how you rebuild your grandfather’s run down farm in a small town.

    I watched the first episode, thought: “they really aren’t subtle about this being about autism huh”, then checked some comments online to see it was actually not meant to be that at all.

    Só I guess… props to the author for making the most relatable character I’ve ever seen completely on accident.

    The show isnt that great, I enjoyed it but its a 7/10 and has gotten worse in some ways every season, while introducing some cool things, the characters feel stagnant and like they hate the audience idk how to describe it, idk every episode I feel less and less like the target audience so I stopped watching it while it aired and discussing it

      Be prepared for quite a shock as they’ve either drastically cut the makeup department or half the cast got major plastic surgery/filler between S03 and S04. I’ve been pretty disappointed with the story this season as well as it seems a bit aimless.

        Ugh. I want to finish what remains, but this is disappointing to hear.

        What’s it take for executives to be willing to finish out a show properly? Sheesh
