I don't think so.
I could never get into Jessica Jones albeit I only gave it 4 episodes. If a series doesn't get me after that I tend to just leave it.
I did create a custom DVD cover for it though. (a hobby I have).
Here it is compressed due to file size limitations here but still looking good!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
Nicely done, i like the idea of doing that if i backed everything up to bluray but these days it is easier and cheaper to keep everything on hdd and nas. When i was at uni i spent a lot of time backing up sg1 and voyager on cd (pre-dvd). 350mb eps at 2 eps per disc = a lot of discs. TDK did 4 or 5 different colours of discs so i colour coded the seasons and had 2 huge revolving cd racks for everything

General, the days of DVD and Blu-Ray are passing us by. Everything in the future and to a great extent eve now will be on local HDD or Cloud storage.
That said video compression has come on leaps and bounds. More episodes on a disc it you want a physical back-up.
2x 350Mb eps per disc goes back to the SVCD days not 4.5Gb or 9Gb single or dual layer DVD's or even the larger capacity of Blu-Ray discs of today.
I still enjoy doing them occasionally as I find it relaxing. I also Admin a site for them, totally free just requires registration. http://uncovered.name .

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
Poor decision imo by the network. Certainly since at least Season 12 the show has been a poor shadow of it's former self. Time to put it out of its misery imo now.

Although the ratings are going down it is still hugely popular. I don't understand though how they say it has been the No. 1 show for the last 8 years or so. I thought it was a toss up between Walking Dead and Game of Thrones?

I didn't know Walking Dead and and Game of Thrones were CBS productions. See what I did there?

I feel stupid. Now that you have pointed it out I have gone back and read the article and it makes sense. When I have read stuff like that in the past it has always been in the general context of overall No1, No2 etc so I think my brain picked out the bits it wanted to see. It goes back to a conversation I was having with Paul a couple of weeks ago about AoS being cancelled and LoT being renewed. Just because something is "No1" on one network doesn't necessarily mean it is doing well compared to other series on other networks unless you compared viewing figures. I would love to know what the international viewing figures for GoT are when you consider it is aired in real time. I would like to think it is around 100 million.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
Sorry about that General but I felt the need to highlight context.
I'm sure there is a site out there that gives global viewing figures even though that can be skewed somewhat.
e.g.
Is it live viewing?
Does it included streaming?
Are recordings watched later included?
etc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
A few in there l like although how many more series they do of that lot must be open to question as there is always a end point for these series and that can't be far way.

I think everything should be included so they get a true picture of who is watching it. As an example, when GoT is on it is live at something like 2am on Sky Atlantic, but people who can't stay up will Sky+ it to watch later and I know it is also downloadable on catchup same day and probably available on the streaming platforms like SkyGo for people to watch on their phone and tablets etc. I would want all of that taken into account because at the end of day, regardless of how it is viewed, they are still real people watching the episode on a platform.
