'Its lineup teeming with zombies, witches, demons and vampires, AMC — the network that started the revolution behind peak TV, digital disruption and far too many Funko pop figures — seems, if not to have given up the ghost, then at least given in to it.'
Here are a few things that did not exist in American television 10 years ago: Binge-watching; recapping; scripted series on networks devoted to old movies, science and history; zombies; streaming services; popular series that end just because the story is done; film-franchise adjacency; shows that begin as miniseries and then continue indefinitely; multiplatform viewing; two concurrent versions of Sherlock Holmes; A-list film directors; television shows devoted to talking about television...
Nowadays, there’s plenty of dead in AMC’s lineup — in addition to “The Walking Dead,” “Fear the Walking Dead” and the forthcoming spinoffs, the network’s slate leans increasingly supernatural — but not so much talk. “Lodge 49” has its fans, but only “Better Call Saul” remains part of the critical conversation and is the only AMC show to receive any Emmy nominations this year. Before you start screaming “27” at me, let me be clear: I am talking about AMC, the network. AMC Networks, the parent company, which also owns BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and Acorn TV, received 27 nominations in all.
While SundanceTV was getting all sorts of prestige attention for “Rectify,” “Top of the Lake” and “An Honorable Woman,” AMC’s attempts to recapture its glory have either failed to catch fire , been plagued by controversy or vanished after one season .Not every show is a good show , and not every good show is a great show. But without the validation of that early media fanfare, AMC often seemed to have a tough time sticking to its programming convictions.
“The Killing,” which premiered the following year, was perhaps the first victim of joystick-criticism. Beloved and obsessed over when it debuted, the series was then battered nearly to death by the outrage many felt when the first season did not end the way they thought it should. AMC prevaricated, renewing it for another season then canceling it, then renewing it for a third season when it looked like another outlet would take it.
