Friday Night TV Murder Pile: Streamers kill My Lady Jane and buy Beverly Hills

It’s been a minute since we walked past Hollywood’s collective woodshed, followed our noses to the smell of decaying dreams, and took a look at the Friday night television murder pile: that penetrating collection of half-forgotten shows that got an axe to the back of the head while executives stormed out the door to start the weekend. But the streamers decided to throw a few bodies on the pile this week, and so once again we’re left to stand by and name, if not mourn, the dead.

First: Prime Videos My Lady Janewhich was just canceled after only one season on the streamer. Deadline notes that the show, one of those sexy, modern period dramas that acknowledges the existence of sex, was well received by critics but never found an audience. (Our own review was pretty scathing, though, with writer Isobel Lewis criticising the show’s sweaty efforts to be sufficiently edgy to fit into the Dickinson or The great audience.) The show, starring Emily Bader, was added to the Prime catalog on June 27, where it sat quietly for a month and a half, until today, as, well… The Pile.

In the meantime, Netflix had the pleasure of ending one of those “pretty people selling houses” shows in the style of the streamer’s own series. Sell ​​sunset. In this case, that means Buy Beverly Hillswhich centers on Mauricio Umansky, a man about whom we know exactly two things: He is married to Kyle Richards from Bravo Real Housewives shows (and talked about them a lot in the show’s second season), and he’s a real estate agent who named his company “The Agency,” which sounds like the secret organization from a Syfy Originals show from the early 2000s. The show was apparently too expensive to produce compared to what Netflix got for its money, which is kind of unbelievable considering the low production costs of most of these reality shows. Into the pile!

Oh, and while we’re looking at things, a non-streaming entry: Nat Geo has announced that it Evil Tuna after 13 seasons aired. Tuna with poor moral character can now circulate oxygen-rich water through their gills and feel a little more comfortable.
