Is Fringe a show you’d really like to watch but you just don’t have time to wade through years of it all at once? Do the fans all tell you “season one is a bit iffy but stick with it, it gets great,” leaving you with absolutely zero desire ever to watch the boring/silly/just plain weird season one?

Exclusive: Bankside will launch sales at this week’s virtual AFM on Danish drama Rose from BAFTA-winning director Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo). The film is currently shooting in Paris and eastern Denmark.
Starring BAFTA winner Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing), the Danish-language film is set over the course of one week and follows two sisters, Inger and Ellen, and how their relationship is challenged on an anticipated coach trip to Paris.
When Inger announces her struggles with mental health to the group, the sisters are faced with pity from some but discrimination from others. On arrival in Paris, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda concerning a figure from her past, ultimately involving the entire group in her hunt for answers.
Oplev’s films include Daniel (2019), Speed Walking (2014), The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) and Worlds Apart (2008). His TV work includes Flatliners in...

In a game of strategy and social bonds, challenge strength remains an important component in “Survivor” 20 years later. Opinion is split on how much value there is in Immunity Challenge wins, but more often than not, they have helped players beast their way to the end and even with the $1 million prize. Examples include Tom Westman (“Palau”), Rob Mariano (“Redemption Island”), Kim Spradlin (“One World”) and Mike Holloway (“Worlds Apart”).
Other challenge beasts are able to win a bunch of challenges but just come up short in the end. Colby Donaldson is one of the original cases of this, and we have seen players like Ozzy Lusth, Terry Deitz, Spencer Bledsoe and Brad Culpepper do the same, without claiming the title of Sole Survivor. Then there are players like Joe Anglim, who are just so good at challenges that they must be voted out the minute they lose an Immunity Challenge.

Well, they can’t all be winners. “Survivor” has been on for 20 years now and is currently airing its 40th season, so there’s bound to be some stinker seasons now and then. Jeff Probst and company continue to be some of the best in the reality TV biz, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t made some questionable decisions now and then. Then there are seasons that have brilliant concepts but for whatever reason, they just don’t work, whether it’s an unlikable cast or boring gameplay. Tour our gallery above to scroll through our list of the worst “Survivor” seasons of all time, ranked from bad to worst.

“Survivor: Winners at War” may purport to decide the best winner of all time, but 18 former champions could plausibly dispute that. While Season 40 does have “Survivor” legends like Rob Mariano, Parvati Shallow and Sandra Diaz-Twine, it does not include every past winner. For instance, the first two winners, Richard Hatch and Tina Wesson, are missing from the “Winners at War” cast despite being from two of the most-watched seasons in the show’s history. Check out our photos above of all 18 “Survivor” winners not on the Season 40 cast.

Whenever a beloved TV show gets cancelled, devoted fans pretty much feel like they’ve been dealt an emotional kick to the gut. No matter if said series has run for fifteen seasons or only thirteen episodes, it seems like such a wound never heals. If you don’t believe me, just ask anyone with an affinity for Firefly or Constantine.
Similarly, such outcry has been heard this week upon the plug being abruptly pulled from Swamp Thing. After only one episode had the chance to air, the Powers That Be have opted not to continue its adventures on the DC Universe streaming service. In case you were wondering, all ten episodes of season 1 will still be released, but that’ll be it.
That said, it should come as no surprise that a social media campaign to save the show has swiftly taken shape. Already, Twitter has been lit up by the “#SaveSwampThing.

More information about Abby's past came to light on Swamp Thing Season 1 Episode 2, and it made for another riveting installment of this DC Universe drama series.
Say what you will about the streamer, but Swamp Thing is a show unlike any other on the small screen.
There were several moments I almost shut the screener of "Worlds Apart" off because the sheer amount of jump scares. It's difficult to take notes when you're being scared shitless. Sheesh!
The horror catches you by surprise on Swamp Things. It comes out of nowhere, and a show that can surprise the audience on an episodic basis is the sign of a show that's worth keeping around.

Many consider Richard Hatch, the show’s first-ever winner, to be the best of the best even 19 years later. Richard’s way of playing the game in “Borneo” — from creating alliances to being boastful about eliminating people — helped shape the reality TV villain of today.

Joe “Joey Amazing” Anglim might be currently stuck on Extinction Island in the alternative reality-show universe that is the 38th season of CBS’ “Survivor.” But in this world, Anglim just popped the question to his girlfriend, Sierra Dawn Thomas, who he met when they both competed on 2014’s “Survivor: Worlds Apart.”
The now-engaged couple began dating last year and it became clear they were meant for on another. But Sierra, 32, says she had no idea that Joe, 30, was about to make their relationship official. They went to Joe’s sister’s wedding in Arizona and while they were driving back to Utah. They stopped to set up camp for the night.

In his exit interview at the end of the merge episode, Joe continued on, “I’m trying to keep my emotions together and not break, but maybe I need to be here.”

James Wan will executive produce a Swamp Thing TV series on the DC Universe streaming service. Here's everything you need to know.
You know what I didn't even know I really wanted until it arrived in my inbox? A Swamp Thing live-action TV series that boasts James Wan as one of its executive producers. And yes, we're getting a Swamp Thing TV series on the DC Universe streaming service.
This is far from Swamp Thing's first foray into live-action. Wes Craven's 1982 Swamp Thing movie is a legit cult classic, although its sequel, Return of the Swamp Thing, is less so. There was a syndicated TV series that starred big screen Swampy Dick Durock that ran for three seasons. It's better than you've heard. The short-lived animated series, on the other hand, is not. Something tells me that whatever DC Universe is cooking up will be better.
