Netflix Cancels Another Show

Netflix has reportedly cancelled another of its shows after one season, the competitive figure skating drama Spinning Out. The decision came quickly after its January 1 premiere, as Netflix considers one month of viewership data before making renewals.

Deadline reports that Spinning Out premiered on January 1, having gone straight to series at Netflix after originating on the Canadian network Pop. Netflix traditionally gives one month to shows on the bubble, and this comes just after it similarly decided not to renew another drama, Soundtrack.

Spinning Out was created by real-life former competitive figure skater Samantha Stratton. It follows figure skater Kat Baker (Kaya Scodelario) after a bad fall derails her career. She link s up with a male partner for pairs skating and pursues a spot in the Olympics.

Netflix produces lots of new shows quickly and often cancels ones that aren't making the cut after only a season or two. In 2019, the streaming giant cancelled a number of shows including its Marvel slate, the cult favorite comedy One Day At A Time, and the long-running animated series Voltron: Legendary Defender.

Meanwhile, the company's viewing metrics have come under scrutiny lately. It recently changed its tally of a "view" from 70% of a given piece, to viewing just two minutes.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
