36. "Anyone check the latest pilots?" In response to In response to 0
On the bright side, the Amazon app on my TV was updated and is MUCH improved. They finally have the watchlist on there and it's much easier to find stuff.
On the downside, Amazon's gameplan seems horribly flawed when they are introducing new pilots before releasing the last slate of shows that they picked up. The "What do you think of this? Great! Now wait a year." plan isn't great IMO. They should probably go with the BBC route and pick up three to five shows of the pilots they like and then see what people like.
As for the new shows, Hand of God was hard to get through but it kind of hooked me in the end. I'd give it another show or two based on the cast alone. I'm not a Whit Stillman fan so this shouldn't be a surprise but I thought Cosmopolitans was awful. I wasn't even sure where the jokes were. Hysteria seems like a decent idea for a b-movie but for a TV show, it didn't work. Especially the silly stuff like the tree being right outside of the hospital. Haven't watched Really or the 80's one; not sure if I will.
Still looking forward to some of last season's pilots to become series but not sure when that is happening.
