I canceled my subscription to Quibi today. The time had come to pull that band-aid off and end this pretense that we were ever really in a relationship together. In a world where I really love broadcast television (and precious cable!), I love Netflix, I love Hulu, I love Disney+, I love HBO Max, and […]
Welcome to BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of weekly heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to bestow some incredibly not objective, totally opinionated wisdom on what has become of the television landscape. The week leading into a July 4th weekend tends to be a bit […]
Welcome to this week's edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of weekly Heaven where I highlight some of Bleeding Cool's television coverage from the past week while bestowing some incredibly not objective, totally opinionated wisdom on what the past week brought to the television landscape. In the BCTV Comments section below, you are more […]
So back at the beginning of the year, we published The Bleeding Cool Top 30 TV Series Influencers 2020, a look inside the BCTV "crystal ball" to predict the broadcast, cable, and streaming shows that would have a major influence on our viewing habits as we rolled through 2020 – and beyond. We made some changes […]
Apparently Quibi didn't get the memo that nobody is watching their short-form mobile streaming app, because they've just renewed two of their reality shows for a season 2. Well, kind of theirs. Quibi revivals of MTV reality classics Punk'd and Singled Out are both renewed for season 2 on the streamer app. The prank show […]
Back in the old days, twenty years ago, we eagerly awaited the weekly episode of our favorite television series. In college, my friends and I would gather in someone's tiny room, crowding onto beds or the floor, to watch ER or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Season finales, or worse, cliffhanger season finales, meant months of waiting before knowing […]
Three weeks in a row and BCTV Sunday Slices is already our longest and most meaningful relationship (make of that what you will). Just like how things went down the past two weeks, this weekly little slice of Heaven is where I highlight some of Bleeding Cool's television coverage from the past week while bestowing […]
Those [Editor's Note: "folks at Quibi"]. But for real: the streaming app has done Mapleworth Murders dirty. How you may wonder? By taking advantage of the market. For the first time, Quibi might actually be making a sound business decision. You see, the Mapleworth Murders cast sounds like a stellar lineup for an SNL reunion. […]
Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, plus whatever Quibi's trying to do: all these streaming services are making my head spin. I mean, really, you're telling me I have to sign up for like seven different streaming services all for a few shows on each (HBO Max the latest)? Yes, companies all want my hard-earned […]
New short-form digital content service Quibi quickly won me over for their ability to deliver content in under 10 minutes and calling them "quick bites". Now if they only had some decent content to match the tech, because their DIY reality show Murder House Flip was a crime scene in series form. The series is […]
Comedy Central favorite Reno 911! came kicking down the doors of our lives this week, with original series creators, writers, and cast members Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver bringing the dysfunctional Dangle (Lennon) and his deputies to Quibi for a new season protecting the mean streets of Nevada. This week, we've been […]
Comedy Central favorite Reno 911! makes an arresting return this Monday, with original series creators, writers, and cast members Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver bringing the dysfunctional Dangle (Lennon) and his deputies to Quibi for a new season protecting the mean streets of Nevada. To get everyone up-to-speed on the "who's who" […]
Quibi continues to trot out its shows with efficient regularity. It's the only thing the streamer has been good at since their "spotlight content" isn't generally that good. As more and more scripted shows premiere, it feels like they're in the middle of a giant race to the bottom. Is there a contest for what […]
With only days to go until our favorite law-enforcement officers come storming back into our lives with the return of Comedy Central favorite Reno 911!, Quibi and original series creators/writers/cast members Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver are treating fans to the official poster key art and trailer for the series' return. For the […]
And so, Most Dangerous Game ends. It's the second cut-up movie to finish its run on Quibi. It feels odd to review a movie in pieces, but it gives the viewer time to think about the pieces in more detail. Viewers know that likable lunkhead Dodge (Liam Hemsworth) will survive being hunted through the city […]
Based on writer and creator Cody Heller's relationship with Dan Harmon, Quibi's new dramedy Dummy stars Anna Kendrick as Cody (creative naming) who discovers her boyfriend Dan (Donal Logue) has a sex doll. If that wasn't enough to grab your attention, then how about the fact that the doll starts talking to her? Still not […]
Quibi released a new trailer for a comedy called Dummy. It stars Anna Kendrick, who finds out her boyfriend has a sex doll that starts talking to her. It looks like Lars and the Real Girl, but the similarities end there. They're both about a character going a little bit mental and thinking sex dolls […]
Quibi continues to release a new chapter its shows, so I decided to catch up with the three I reviewed previously to do a catch-up. Why not? We're all in isolation and desperate for things to watch. Do they get better? Read on and find out. Apart from my morbid curiosity, I still question Quibi's […]
I must be in a masochistic mood when I decide to watch the opening segments of Quibi's latest chopped-up movie The Stranger. I don't have high hopes. The bar is already set pretty low. Clare (Maika Monroe), a rideshare driver in Los Angeles, picks up a passenger named Carl E. (Dean Dehaan). He turns out […]
With Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty ready to dimensional-hop their way back onto our screens for season 4.5 starting Sunday, May 3, Adult Swim is doing their part to throw a little red meat to the starving fanbase with the release of an episode title announcement video. As you're about to see below, […]
