Ciminally Under Marketed and wheres the awareness?


I just discovered this show last week.

IMO Its absolutely AMAZING...I was hooked literally from the 30 seconds.

But I must admit,I find this show quite shocking....

I did not see a single commercial or preview for this when it came out, I was shocked to learn it came out last year and was on FX...

I also cant believe it doesnt have a bigger following and isnt getting more praise and awareness...I feel like this should already be getting "Cult Classic" status are only 1 season and 1 year, I just cant believe there arent more people recommending it and talking about it....

I was absolutely THRILLED to see it got a season 2....

I would love to see this run at least 5 seasons....

I think this is Pure Genius!


just shocked at how little Marketing it got when it came out and just as shocked it hasnt caught on and become HUGE!

Oh wow, I can't agree with you.
If you watched shows or movies on FX it was heavily advertised.

I watched the first episode and I just knew that this a show that I wanted to binge.
So for the next months I didn't watch and just waited till the serious ended and watched all episodes at once.
Then binged 5 hours on a Saturday.

I think the show is hilarious.
I love how you just have to go with it.
I loved the cameo's. C'mon Wesley Snipes. I don't care he was in it for like 2 seconds, still very cool.

And I agree, I am so exited about season 2 on April 15, 2020.
I guess I will have to be back some time in June to comment about it.

It was actually heavily advertised on its home network. If I'm remembering right, I actually had ads for the first season on Hulu as well as YouTube.

I will agree though it's still very underrated. I recommend it to everyone, especially people who enjoy the mockumentary format.

It really deserved to win some Emmys or something.

I didn't even know this was a thing. So you may have a point.

The movie kicked ass, but I haven't been able to see the series. It's broadcast on FX, but I didn't find out about it until the first season was over and it's not on FX on demand. You have to pay for some streaming service.

I love how people make unsubstantiated claims like "it wasn't marketed", get proven wrong, and never come back to the topic. I can't stand people who get called out and then never post again in the topic. Total cowardice, you see it on a lot of comment chains or forums.

i agree, i hate when someone calls out someone and then just leaves never to return. pretty lame...
