The Taskmaster YouTube channel has been posting non-geoblocked videos from
past series and, as someone who knows about 60% of the contestants on any
given series, I think it does lose something when you don't know the
competitors by reputation.
That said, the British-style panel game where the gam

We wouldn't know about PBS here in the Bay Area; all three stations are
pretty much on permanent pledge-drive rotation, and I don't think anyone

"Fleabag"'s first series was screened on IFC (which considers itself now
alt-comedy in terms of original programming, even if they show repeats of
"That 70s Show" and "2.5 Men") after the Amazon release. Sister channel
SundanceTV screened the first two seasons of Amazon's "Transparent."

Personally, I'd think cancelling "Katy Keene" would be a sign of common
sense and good taste coming to a network, rather than a sign of imminent
failure.
