Unfortunate it couldn’t have been ready for this year because it probably would have dominated the acting categories looking at their state (I mean even Hollywood got multiple acting noms…)
It also wouldn’t have hurt that Watts has just come off of leading a sizable commercial hit for Netflix and Hollander has just had a big part in Jennifer Coolidge’s arc on this season of The White Lotus.

I know everyone is talking about Billie in this clip, but Dominique Fishback is so captivating to me here. I think I’m gonna have to give this show a watch.
ReplyCopy URLShe was fine on episode 8, not all of that. In my opinion of course.
Of course my opinion was simply that of my own and whilst I disagree with your opinion of it just being fine, I certainly respect your opinion. From your FYC in your footer I can certainly see you favour a lot of shows that I too favour!
ReplyCopy URLI mean I guess it could happen but I I don’t think it’s getting the demo they’re looking for and you can tell from the Amazon chart it’s charting pretty inconsistently outside of the US. It looks fine, but not like a big international breakout hit or under an overall deal unless I’ve missed something. If it overperforms at the Emmys I can see them doing it given their awards slate going forward is pretty thin, though. The cast does seem keen.
I think it is performing well enough to obtain a second series, the album is still in the top 5 on iTunes in the US and UK and I am fully expecting 70s style revival fashion at the summer festival circuits this summer but I am not sure how they could pull it off. In my opinion it would need Taylor Jenkins Reid to write the screenplay and seeing as though all of her work seems to be being picked up and adapted, I am not sure she has the time!
I hope they leave it there so that Keough and Johnson can get on with making the Cult Following series they announced some time ago.
ReplyCopy URLi mean, itunes is dead. it debuted #96 on the US billboard 200.
It is all relative though, how did the George and Tammy Soundtrack do? They had access to some of the greatest source material, have 153k in monthly listeners on Spotify and their version has 115k impressions of stand by your man on Spotify.
Aurora with all originals and not an actual biopic currently has 1.6m monthly listeners and has 2 songs with over4 million plays and several others with over a million. Sure it’s not Taylor Swift but it is a TV show with 2 singers who have never sung beforeDespite physical sales being non existent it was top 10 in physical sales and top 4 in vinyl sales. It has also driven fleetwood Mac back up the catalog charts
ReplyCopy URLWhich is solid but Prime’s bar is quite high. That said it’s not always super clear how well Prime shows are doing til Nielsen as they tend to be sort of quiet.
Sure, I think solid is a pretty good description. Like I say it is no perfect show (It’s not almost famous) but it is maintaining a solid 79/80 percent audience rating. Of course how they stick the landing will be important as it could fall apart.
You also have to factor that initial promotion took a pretty major hit with the timing of the sad passing of Keough’s mother.

The biggest probable sign of the shows success is that Taylor Swift is out on stage each night pulling the same Stevie Nicks inspired moves / clothing as used in the show. Taylor and the machine behind her are without doubt the greatest marketing machine in recent music history and if they are seeing the benefits in replicating the imagery they don’t often miss their mark lol
Well that and the fact Fleetwood Mac are on the verge of re-entering the top 20 of the US billboard top 200
ReplyCopy URLLikely five. I just don’t see the number of submissions reaching than more 80 anytime soon. Last year did have a record 61 programs in contention (ahead of the previous three years of 35, 36, & 41 in 2019, 2020 & 2021 respectively).
And there’s currently 32 competitive series in the prediction center (and still including things that could easily get shafted into next cycle like White House Plumbers and Full Circle) and I’m doubtful there is enough not in their to even take it over last years 61 submissions again.
