BCTV Daily Dispatch 30 May 2021: Sandman Responds, Boys Burgers & More

We got you, moonlight, you're our starlight. We need you all night, come on, dance with us. We're…the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With much love and respect to Dua Lipa, we welcome back to our daily rewind of what's been setting off your radars across the television, cable, and streaming side of the pop culture landscape over the past 24 hours. As for the newest additions to the list, check out Pam & Tommy star Sebastian Stan getting his Zen on, After Life producer removed over sexual misconduct allegations, AEW first an announcer for racist mocking, and Neil Gaiman pushes back on Death and Desire casting-haters (oh, and the Prodigal Son forces continue to fight on!).

We've also hand-picked a selection of articles that are more than worth your time that you might've missed the first time around. Finally, take a break from TV history to let you know "What The F**k Is The World Watching?" and then wrap things up with today's "Random Thought" because maybe it's time we reassessed "binge dumping."

"WHAT THE F**K IS THE WORLD WATCHING?" So thanks to the righteously impressive way Parrot Analytics monitors and records viewing habits across multiple platforms in multiple countries, we have some insight into what the world's been watching over the past 30 days. Quick thoughts? Here's why HBO wants so many GoT spinoffs, The Walking Dead still remains strong, WWE Raw surprisingly strong globally, and Saturday Night Live got an Elon Musk boost:

1. Game Of Thrones / 2. Attack On Titan / 3. The Falcon And The Winter Soldier / 4. WandaVision / 5. Stranger Things / 6. The Walking Dead / 7. The Flash / 8. La Casa De Papel (Money Heist) / 9. WWE Monday Night Raw / 10. Friends / 11. Shadow and Bone / 12. Saturday Night Live / 13. My Hero Academia / 14. The Mandalorian / 15. The Big Bang Theory / 16. SpongeBob SquarePants / 17. Invincible / 18. Peaky Blinders / 19. The Boys / 20. The Good Doctor

RANDOM THOUGHT: Okay, this one goes out to all of the non-Netflix streamers- Amazon, Peacock, HBO Max, Funimation, Paramount+, Disney+, and the 383 others I don't have enough time to list. Look, I'll just put it out there. Can we leave the binge-drop shit to Netflix? Because if there's one thing that shows like WandaVision, The Boys, Invincible, The Mandalorian, Mare of Easttown, and a bunch of others have proven is that there is a serious advantage to staggering episode releases. It builds a sense of community. It allows late-comers to still jump in on the festivities. It helps save "smaller" shows that might've gotten off to a soft start because of the competitive press and media environment out there.
