Question: My husband and I LOVE Brockmire on IFC. The writing is terrific, and it’s been a long time since we have laughed out loud during a TV show. Curious as to your opinion and what the current buzz is about this show. — Lorna
Matt Roush: I have been plugging this show since its premiere, so from my corner, the critical buzz is strong, and I hope more discover it during its run. Happily, Brockmire already has been renewed for a second season. It qualifies as one of the happiest surprises of the TV year to date, and the performances of Hank Azaria, Amanda Peet and Tyrel Jackson Williams in this profane comeback fable couldn’t be better. This is high on my list these days when people ask me what they should be watching.
Question: I was heartbroken that WGN America canceled Outsiders. Is there any chance another network could pick it up? Or do a final season on Netflix or Hulu? — Karl
Matt Roush: It may be a long shot, but Sony, which produces the series, is known for aggressively pitching its properties to new homes after premature cancellation. If Outsiders had only produced one season, I’d say it was a lost cause. But with two seasons worth of episodes under its belt, there might be a chance for another outlet, especially in the streaming universe, to keep it going.
