season 2 is so much more focused :ohlawd:

ratings not looking too hot though :mindblown:

Ratings are basically maintaining what season 1 did, which is still pretty bad, but even if it gets cancelled Amazon and an unnamed cable channel expressed interest if it isn't renewed. So it will most likely exist with or without NBC, which is probably why they haven't cancelled it. It's the same reason AMC didn't cancel "Breaking Bad" during the negotiations after season 4....you don't want to cancel a struggling show then sit on the sidelines after it blows up on another network.

They can't show that shyt any earlier, look at what's on it. :heh:

Didn't they move it to Friday from another day?

Fair enough regarding the time but the day could be changed to something more fukkwitable. If not let that shyt go and put out another cookie cutter show with bad dialogue ( see crisis etc) :snoop: if i was AMC i would be fighting to get this shyt on my network, bar "Mad Men" which is (:ld: to me) their lineup is looking :flabbynsick: post breakin bad.

It was on on Thursdays last season.

That's what I thought. The move to Friday is a death kiss most of the time.

I guarantee if NBC drops this and another network like AMC or FX picks it up, it'll blow the fukk up. Which is why I said, they don't want to drop it.

And they really don't push/plug it that much on NBC. For every 1 Hannibal preview there is like 10 - 15 for shows like crisis, believe etc NBC execs are fukking up. Damn even FX would :eat: well if they managed to Hannibal.

How does this work though? Does NBC have first rights to the show? can the creators be like " yeah, we appreciate what you've done for us but we'd rather move networks"? I do know NBC/CBS etc pay better than cable though.
