Amazon just canceled 3 shows at once: 'Jean-Claude Van Johnson,' 'One Mississippi,' and 'I Love Dick' ' here are the others it has dropped

Published by Business Insider on Thu, 18 Jan 2018


Amazon had a big night at the 2018 Golden Globes, with high-profile wins for its hit comedy series, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."Then it turned around and canceled three shows at once: "Jean-Claude Van Johnson," "One Mississippi," and "I Love Dick."The cancellations come as Amazon continues to clean house after a management shakeup.In October, Amazon Studios head Roy Price resignedafter allegations of sexual harassment surfaced, and CEO Jeff Bezos has reportedly directed a change in strategy at the company, which led to Amazon in November grabbing the rights to make a TV series based on "The Lord of the Rings."Amazon also seems to have a much quicker trigger finger than Netflix, and has killed a bunch ofshows already. The recent crop consisted of "I Love Dick," which was nominated for a Golden Globe (Kevin Bacon as best actor in a comedy), "One Mississippi" starring comedian Tig Notaro, and "Jean-Claude Van Johnson,"which launched in December and starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as a fictionalized version of himself.Here are theshows Amazonhas killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic:SEE ALSO:Amazon's 15 original comedy TV shows, ranked from worst to best'One Mississippi': Canceled after two seasons (2015-2017)Amazon description: "Love is in the air when we pick up with Tig, Bill & Remy, living together again in Mississippi. It's a season of new beginnings and new relationships for each of them. Tig's back on the radio, but her outspoken point of view proves controversial for the local market. A chance to take a bigger stage in New Orleans comes with more reach, and responsibility."Critic rating: 77/100Audience rating: 6.7/10'I Love Dick': Canceled after 1 season (2017)Amazon description: "Adapted from the lauded feminist novel, I LOVE DICK is set in a colorful academic community in Marfa, Texas. It tells the story of a struggling married couple, Chris and Sylvere, and their obsession with a charismatic professor named Dick. Told in Rashomon-style shifts of POV, I LOVE DICK charts the unraveling of a marriage, the awakening of an artist and the deification of a reluctant messiah."Critic rating: 73/100Audience rating: 6.4/10'Jean-Claude Van Johnson': Canceled after 1 season (2017)Amazon description:"What if I told you that Jean-Claude Van Damme - yes, THAT Jean-Claude Van Damme - was, in fact, a secret agent' That his entire film career was built solely as a front for his black ops' Would you believe me' No' Well then that's egg on your face because that's what this show is about."Critic rating: 60/100Audience rating: 7.4/10See the rest of the story at Business Insider
