Well it's entirely Starz fault. When Season 2 came around they offered a streaming only plan but it wasn't advertised that well. Signing up was another issue. Could you do it on the Starz website? No. (I think now you can.) Roku app? No. (Haven't checked recently to see if they finally updated the channel.)
At the time of Season 2 (I actually got a cheap cable deal with free Starz for Season 1) I could only sign up through the Android app and then login the Roku channel so no wonder most whom refused to get Cable and the addon package for Starz ended up pirating the show. Also didn't offer any type of Season pass on like Amazon, Vudu or Google Play at the time either....
What was advertised at the time is Starz being an addon to Amazon Prime & Sling TV though....
So they need to advertise the Starz streaming service better for Season 3 and consider offering a Season Pass option as well.... I mean DVD and digital sales do well....
Wasn't the amount of Seasons pitched for the show 4 or 5? Hopefully they decide to continue the show and let it wrap up to the original planned amount of seasons....
I also hope the Season 2 ender is some type of dream or trick by Ruby or they make sense of it somehow. Otherwise i've enjoyed the show warts and all and look forward to Season 3 even though I'll have to wait a few extra Months.
Yeah, they did a bad job making their cord cutting measures actually be cord cutting measures. Apparently the Hulu deal is supposed to help with that.
I'm pretty sure none of the Starz shows have season passes except for Highlander? Can anyone correct this?
It was five!
Uh oh then as many are complaining about Hulu's new UI design. I mean people threatening to cancel Hulu because of how difficult the new UI is.... Not good....
I hope they offer a Season pass for this.... Makes sense if the main viewership appears to be from Disc & digital sales....
They need to do a better job to advertise ways to view Season 3 and let people know.
This site should also do a News story that covers all the basis for viewing Season 3 as well.... I asked to do this to let people know when Season 2 dropped but was sadly ignored.
Hope for the best. We gotta let Starz know they need to improve ways that fans can watch & support the show.
Oof, that's too bad. I was considering jumping from Netflix but I'm probably going to stick it out there.
I'm guessing they're not season passing most of them - I went googling and can't really find anything, not even for Outlander or Power. It seems that you can only buy episodes individually, versus subscribing to just buy the series alone. The digital numbers have been all over the place (they're not doing much in live fives and DVD sales are actually smaller for 2 vs 1) so you'd think they'd be more options to buy the show as it's airing.
I sense you weren't being ignored! It's likely your email slipped through the cracks; Kain's told me he's super busy IRL. Either way, I like your idea and I'm going to DM him to see if we can apply it to the site with credit to you once we get an actual S3 start date.
The thing is that Starz makes it hard to actually offer options. They launched the $9 cord cutter option just after AvED 2 launched last year, and for a lot of people it seems not to be worth it. They have a tendency to (as far as I can tell) release the entire season after it airs to itunes/vudu/Amazon/Google Play/Youtube, which leaves the viewer to spoiler dodge, which can be annoying/tough on them. I guess Hulu will have them same day or day after airing like most of their series.
I plan to jump on Hulu so I can catch up on Season 1 of Stan Against Evil. As well as some other shows & Movies then back to Netflix for Season 2 of Stranger Things.
Yeah must have slipped through the cracks. I decided to post it here as I have been a little annoyed with Starz as I want the show to do well. I used to post here years ago but stopped as well to be honest talking about just 3 Movies and a couple of video games can get a bit stale after awhile. No offence.
Maybe it's time to E-mail Starz and let them know we want a Season Pass option....
Starz streaming was decent last I recall as it offered a decent selection of Movies as well TV shows including their originals. The Hulu partnership sounds interesting. I recall when they had one with Netflix back in the day.
Hopefully Season 3 does well and people legit support it this time around....
Er Cult Of Chucky got leaked before release and many went ahead and watched it (even some early YouTube reviews popped up).... Good thing Universal has a deal to stream on Netflix and such.
Yeah Starz needs to have ol Bruce do a goofy ad for Season 3 and have him explain the various legit ways to support and watch the show this time around.... Seriously.... I still have talked to some people who like Evil Dead but didn't know a TV show was on Starz or just thought they'd need Cable....
It would also help if Season 1 & 2 made it to like Netflix too....
Really if Season 3 can't improve viewership it's Starz not doing a good enough job to get with the times.
That said the Season 3 teaser poster is nice. Yeah a very FNAF vibe but hey that's what the kids are into these days.... Look forward to seeing a Trailer / Teaser finally!
Really hope this new show runner is able to balance the tone better and really make season 3 the one to shine.
