I love how Elijah Wood only does weird projects. He made his money once with LOTR, and decided he would only ever do fun things from here on out.

Dirk Gently S1 is still the most glorious thing I've seen on TV.
Triple murder. In the living room. With a... shark?

We were heartbroken when we heard it was cancelled. Nothing beat the first season, but when the hopes for a great S3 with Alan Tudyk returning went up in smoke it was hard to bear.

Really need to rewatch this and actually finish Wilfred. Love all of his work.

Like the cast, hate the project.

With the recent drama, I would rather see someone else in place of Johnson

I haven't heard. What's the Johnson drama?

Accused Brian Foster (her ex) of domestic abuse, sexual abuse. When it came to trial, the judge declined a restraining order since there was nothing there - calling the entire thing frivolous and without merit, and ordered her to pay his legal costs. Judge even said this restraining order looks like a weapon for different litigation to get an additional argument against him (since there is a civil suit too). I think she brought forward as a reason that he started dressing differently and that he bought two airsoft pistols and one of those wire wood saws. Don't get me wrong, Foster is most likely a piece of shit / poon hound. But trying to ruin someone's life, get them out of their home (since iirc they still lived together?) by making shit up and getting a full-blown restraining order, that's low.

Eh, I think you might be underestimating the nostalgia people will have for something that helped them connect with other people in 2020 during the pandemic.

And it's an animated series, not a theater release. I think people will watch it.

The game itself is still kinda popular with kids. Especially the free versions on mobile and VR.

Yeah, but damn near everything is some sort of adaptation now. You've almost got to ignore that it's an existing brand at all. There's "animated Red Dwarf" potential there, and if it sucks, as it very well could, no one will care that the Among Us lore was "betrayed."
