Amazon has 3 pilots for voting right now

I Love Dick with Kevin Bacon

Jean Claude Van Johnson

The Tick

Not even interested in trying Jean Claude and The Tick (some sort of super hero take off)

Quit watching I Love Dick half way through the first episode.

Their first season of original content they had several they didn't pick up that I really liked. And I love Bosch and Mozart in the Jungle. Transparent was good S1 (hated S2).

What is up with Amazon? The above 3 seem like a disaster to me.

I love Dick has a totally different plot (I guess since I ddin't actually finish) than Transparent but had the same flavor or smell as Transparent. Right coast/left coast self involved neurotic naval gazers but transported to Texas. Yuck.

wikipedia

I Love Dick is a novel by American artist and author Chris Kraus.[1] Published by Semiotext(e) in 1997, I Love Dick merges fiction and memoir formats, to explore the writer's psycho-sexual obsession with the eponymous "Dick," a media theorist and sociologist whose last name is never given over the course of the text, despite other art world personalities appearing as themselves. Critics heralded it as both "radical" and "gossipy,"[2] and the book continues to be an interdisciplinary point of reference for writers, artists, art historians, and theoreticians alike. The book announced Kraus' particular brand of "confessional literature" that she herself described as "lonely girl phenomenology."[3]

Later identified as Dick Hebdige, "Dick's sporadic presence in Chris's life changes her thinking about her marriage (to philosopher and Semiotext(e) founder Sylvère Lotringer) and to her work, as well.

This work has recently been adapted as a television pilot for Amazon. It was directed by Jill Soloway and stars Kathryn Hahn and Kevin Bacon.

We watched the Tick, as fans of the original comic, then the cartoon version, then the live action one with Patrick Warburton.

We didn't like the new one. Too dark and trying too hard to be edgy.

I actually went to Amazon and hit "yes this review was informative to me" on 25 pages of 1 star reviews. All those people saying basically how I feel. But of course there were more 4 nd 5 stars which much all be New Yorkers or something.

Seriously Amazon Original Content is screwing up big time!

Or they are just people with different tastes than yours. Seriously, how important is a web show that you take the time to go through 25 pages of reviews.

I guess your saying I'm a loser because TV is important to me. I did that because Amazon looks at pilot voiting and ratings to determine whether they turn it into a series.
And thanks for dropping in to mak me feel like crap because you don't like that I don't like a show. Apparently not liking a show is not allowed. Enjoy your day having made someone feel like a loser.
