A lot of those magazine articles seem to me to be artificially positive as though they're trying to maintain access or are owned by someone who has an interest in promoting shows.

Atlantis routinely gets 3 or 4 stars out of 5, which is ridiculous. The show is so bad that most reviewers gave up after a few episodes and reported they wouldn't be covering it anymore.

I hope this puts the nail in the coffin of these clowns so that valuable airing time is no longer wasted with their dreck. Merlin was actually pretty bad too, rescued a bit by the actors, altough even they couldn't save S5 for me. Hex was as big a mess as Atlantis, so why do these guys keep getting work?

Sleepy Hollow is a cheesy show, but it's really good and very engaging - it's not hard to do what Atlantis is trying to do if you hire competent writers and stop deluding yourself into thinking you've got the talent to do it yourself.

so why do these guys keep getting work?.

I watched Hex for Michael Fassbender. The first few episodes were moody and atmospheric, but when he and Christina Cole left, it turned into a mishmashed ripoff of Buffy.

I think I've written this before, but one of the main characters was a lesbian who gets killed, but then ends up being a major foil for the forces of evil. So what do they do? They kill a random lesbian for a ghostly romantic distraction.

Yes, they really are that misogynistic (not to mention homophobic, which you'd think they'd be able to avoid...)

I've never heard of Demons, but I almost want to watch it. Unfortunately, their bad is usually not "so bad it's funny" bad so much as "I'm willing to spend the effort to build a time machine so I can go get my hour back." bad. Checking Google, I see they loaded it with impressive eye-candy.

Say what you will about American TV, but nobody here would ever let these clowns waste so much time, talent and money.

OMG - they really shouldn't be let anywhere near female characters, actually any character that requires some sort of you know - character development

That's a huge drop, and I'm sure they werent expecting those dismal figures
I wonder if this means a rethink of time-slots (and maybe audiences possibly direct it more towards children)
