Michael C. Hall's contract negotiations for the last two season almost didn't get resolved. Showtime had offered M.C.H. $20 million for two more seasons, but the star wanted $24 million. Not sure what they settled on. It is possible to be paid huge amounts of money to actors for shows that are not supported by advertising. Ratings for a show like this are much lower than almost any show on ABC/CBS/NBC, but they have long shelf life. I was surprised that Showtime would sell their hits to Netflix as they have their own streaming services. http://www.sho.com/sho/order/5/ott |

The top 4 are unwatchable. Netflix produces mostly shite, we really have no idea how many people are watching because they don't tell us. On the list Bloodline is the only one I still watch. H of C lost me with a crap 3rd season. Bloodline will probably lose me with a crap 2nd season. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Survivor is a thriller that was bashed badly by the critics. It isn't a groundbreaking film, but I thought it moved along nicely and it was fun to watch. Reminds me of a female version of "Three Days of the Condor". Milla Jovovich ... Kate Abbott Pierce Brosnan ... Nash Dylan McDermott ... Sam Parker Roger Rees ... Emil Balan |

Just watched it. It did move along nicely and kind of fun to watch. Nice to see Robert Forster. But As she is barely escaping a deadly killer several times, and wanted by police, breaking into our embassy, access computers and get out and able to travel across the Atlantic to save NYC all by herself. No help from a super dumb ambassador. Just so implausible. 3 days of the condor was great. Very realistic. Cant say the same for Survivor.
