Reply to Deadwood, season 2 episode 8 by DirectionNew5328
This series was a real gem.
It is sad that it ended so early.

Reply to ‘The Santa Clauses’ Might’ve Made a Cute Movie, but Became a Drag of a Series Instead: TV Review by CubistMUC
> "The basics of “The Santa Clauses” go like this: 28 years into his run as Santa, a 65-year-old Scott (Allen) finds himself at a crossroads. His wife Carol (Mitchell), once an ambitious school principal, is restless and bored in the more anonymous role of Mrs. Clause; their teenaged kids Buddy (Austin Kane) and Sandra (Allen’s own daughter Elizabeth Allen-Dick) are growing up isolated and “weird,” having known no other world than the North Pole. Then, head elf Betty (Matilda Lawler of “Station Eleven,” doing her very best with what she has) finds a new loophole clause granting Scott the option to retire. Reluctant and resigned, Scott takes it, moves the family back to Chicago, and hands the keys over to single father Simon (Kal Penn), who promptly sees the North Pole as more of a business opportunity than a responsibility."
[...]
> "If “The Santa Clauses” were “The Santa Clause 4: The Santa Clauses,” its tendency to indulge the silly and saccharine could be forgiven. As a “Disney+ original series,” it’s simply bit off more “nutty fudgy teacakes” than it can chew."

Fun fact: The real Elisabeth was anorexic and loved to inject cocaine very much.

It is not even remotely as strange as you might consider it.
The novels' author Alexandre Dumas was a POC.

Reply to comment by ILoveRegenHealth in ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘Skeleton Crew’ Enlists Director David Lowery - The series wrapped production in recent months, however news of who directed is just now coming out, with more expected to be revealed later by Neo2199
This kind of reaction is what you get if you hire a director that deeply despises the source material loved by the fans.
