They dropped them on to the platform
Off topic, but: Can I just say I continue to find the use of the verb "drop" to interchangeably mean both cancel and release immensely confusing. Every time I read the word I need to think carefully about what is actually being said.
Yep English sucks for that stuff. Like we have shelled peanuts and shelled peanuts, one means the peanuts have a shell (they ARE shelled) and one means the peanuts has been removed from the shell (they HAVE BEEN shelled or more clearly deshelled)
They were making mistakes long before Disney stepped in. The storylines got way too convoluted towards the end of the Tennant stint. Too much swapping of characters and assitant. They forgot their audience. Disney were never gonna do it well anyway, they FU nearly all the legacy stuff touch.
That's not to even mention Torchwood, which, what the hell were they thinking with the way they handled that show?
Torchwood started so good and turned to utter shit out of nowhere
The brits botched the launch of Taskmaster USA too. Idk why they need to change shit for the US. Leaving the format of a British show worked perfectly fine for Trators.
Taskmaster usa was doomed to fail from the start. The usa can not, and will not fit in that british vibe of just fucking around and having a good laugh. Way too serious and competitive. It crowd failed for the same reason...
The office was imo a half fluke. Worked because the show didnt take itself serious, as it should.
Office was too successful
Traitors is a Dutch format. The UK and US versions are produced in tandem, with the US version filming first and the UK version using the same location, gameplay and props once the US version has finished.
