The racism such that Mongolia and China both refused them to film there plagued the show from the beginning. Also the sexism. Ableism. Zero Mongolian cast members or crew (because who would sign up for something that put you and yours down that far and get it so wrong?). And then total refusal to do any kind of research such that PoC were complaining their heads off haunted the show from the beginning, so people went with solidarity over celebrating a white dude with "too much yang" in the worst depiction of a blind martial artist I've ever seen. They were bullshitting hard with little to no research and asking PoCs to support it because, you know, PoC faces. And we said no.

i'm sorry but i think you have this the wrong way . while critics may informe the public of how they found the show keep in mind that shows survive on ratings and the ratings are me and you and all others so even if the critics do happen to like it it wont have an impact on its cancellation if the viewers rating are low

Camelot had some weaknesses but I still liked it, I am not a big fan of Eva Green but she playd it so good, in my eyes teh best Morgana ever, also (R)Evolution was worth continuing (but about the same weaknesses like Camelot). What I really do not understand is what happend with Marco freakin Polo. That has been one of the best shows ever seen on screen. But the f***ing Kardashians get a billion episodes and 100 spin offs, all about some of the most stupid people to ever walk the earth and of course their f**** handbags while dads turning into moms and the continuing fighting about sensless bullshit. This is so wrong.

Camelot is worth watching for Eva Green alone. Since there are so many King Arthur movies and shows, they really should have made this series all about Morgana LeFay (Eva Green) and her point of view, as she was the most interesting character in the show.

To be fair, nobody involved had hindsight and it was based on Viva Blackpool, which had been massively successful in the UK. Traditionally adaptations of UK shows in the States are a reasonable safe bet as they either prove hugely successful [All In The Family and The Office for example] or at least hold their own without setting the world on fire [Life on Mars] I suppose Blackpool's advantage was that this bizarre genre was known to the British public from previous shows like the Singing Detective and Pennies From heaven, which had both also been huge successes. With the history of success of UK remakes it's not surprising Hugh Jackman thought he was buying into a winner.

The original Battlestar Galactica was an awesome show! I couldn't wait for each weeks episode, read all the books and had almost all of the toys too. Galactica 80 was pretty weak though and the reboot was great the first 3 seasons, then it got too convoluted for my tastes.

When I saw the promos for Kings, it looked so uninteresting. What was it? An alternate world story of where the US had a monarchy? Very confusing, but I watched anyway because of Ian McShane. THEN I found out it was an updating of the Biblical Story of David set in modern day. And it was wonderful! Well....why didn't you TELL us that? The promos downplayed all aspects that this was based on the Bible. I'll bet if the church going folks were aware of this, it would have been a big hit. NBC tried to downplay the very thing that made this story work. Their fear killed the show.
@2011blueman
@2011blueman 6 жыл бұрын
The network was afraid that the show would offend the religious right because it was an adaptation of the story rather than an exact depiction of how the bible tells the story. Back when it aired that was a valid concern. However, because of that they never really promoted the show or told anyone what the show really was. You had to watch the show to see how fantastic it was, and by the time I found out about it they had already cancelled the show.
