Does Anyone Else Want This to Fail?


So Lauren Cohan can return to The Walking Dead, where she belongs?

reply

eh. Walking Dead is on its last legs anyway.


It does seem like a bad move since, with Andrew Lincoln departing, they could've easily made her the lead.

reply

I think she would have been the lead, had she not chosen to leave and do this show instead.

reply

I agree. But maybe she'd rather be the lead of a new show than be the one in charge when a franchise dies.

reply

I'm not going to say that I exactly want it to fail. But I think it will..
It's network which is very risky.. and doesn't look like anything special..so ultimately ..yeah, I'd rather see her back on TWD.

reply

Her chances of being the female lead are really improving with Danai Guira leaving as well.

reply

Maggie was never going to be the lead of TWD. Daryl is the most popular character on the show with him around, Maggie would have been utilized as much as she was in season 7/8. I get why Lauren Cohan left, the show was dying, her character was never used, jumping to another show with more money was the most logical step.

This show is pretty bad. Even for a pilot. Very cliche, very cheesy. And zero chemistry. So little chemistry a character actually had to make a joke about sexual tension so we'd know it was there. There was a show like this a few years back with Rebecca Romijn called King and Maxwell and that thing only made it ten episodes and it was a LOT better than this. I've wanted Cohan off Walking Dead for years. She has totally wasted the last of her youthful looks on that show and only now, nearing her 40s, are they working on breaking her out as a star? It's way too late.

reply

I would have preferred if she had stayed, but at this point I am only watching "The Walking Dead" out of habit, so I don't really care all that much.

As for this show, now that I've watched the first three episodes, I am about to give up on it. The only thing I like about it is Lauren Cohan; I think she has a good presence and she is funny. Everything else - the rest of the cast, the plots, the attempts at humour - is pretty bad.

She got the opp. to be a lead and make more $, can't blame her for that. Plus the Walking Dead isn't that great anymore.
