Why is My Adventures with Superman on Adult Swim? It was never the plan
When My Adventures with Superman premiered on Adult Swim in July 2023 — at midnight, no less — viewers were baffled. Here was a sweet, all-ages, anime-inspired take on Clark Kent, airing in the block built for Rick and Morty. The show got glowing reviews and one recurring question. What is this doing here?

Which characters in Boardwalk Empire are real?
Boardwalk Empire ran on HBO for five seasons and 56 episodes between 2010 and 2014, and part of its trick was blending invented characters with genuine figures from Prohibition-era history. Terence Winter built the show on Nelson Johnson's 2002 nonfiction book about Atlantic City's corruption.

Who was killed in Deadwood? Every death in the camp, from Wild Bill to the final episode
David Milch's Deadwood ran three seasons and 36 episodes on HBO from 2004 to 2006, plus a 2019 movie — and for a show remembered mostly for its profanity, it piled up an astonishing number of corpses. The camp killed quickly, quietly, and usually on somebody's orders.

Where is the Band of Brothers cast now? Two of Easy Company's privates grew up to be Professor X and Magneto
When Band of Brothers aired on HBO in September 2001, most of its enormous cast were unknowns. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, based on Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 book, the 10-part miniseries followed Easy Company of the 101st Airborne from training at Camp Toccoa to the end of the war — and quietly launched an absurd number of careers.

How did the Deadwood series end? Not on air, and not until 13 years after HBO pulled the plug
Deadwood ran on HBO from 2004 to 2006 — three seasons, 36 episodes — and then stopped mid-story when the network and creator David Milch couldn't agree on a shortened fourth season. The real ending arrived on May 31, 2019, as a standalone film: Deadwood: The Movie.

Why wasn't Godless renewed? Ratings had nothing to do with it
When Godless hit Netflix on November 22, 2017, it looked like the start of something big: a gorgeous seven-episode Western with Jeff Daniels as outlaw preacher Frank Griffin, Jack O'Connell as fugitive Roy Goode, and a mining town run almost entirely by women. Critics raved. Fans binged. And then — nothing. No season 2, ever. Here's why that was always the plan.

How true is Band of Brothers?
Band of Brothers opens every episode with elderly men describing things they saw with their own eyes — and only reveals in the finale that they're the real veterans of Easy Company. That framing is the show's honest answer to the accuracy question: this happened, to these men. HBO's 2001 miniseries is remarkably faithful to the record. But it is not flawless.

What Deadwood characters are real? Every historical figure in the show, from Hickok to Hearst
HBO's Deadwood feels too profane, too violent, and too strange to be history. It mostly is history. A remarkable share of the show's saloon keepers, sheriffs, and scoundrels walked the real camp's mud streets in 1876 — David Milch built his drama on actual residents of an actual illegal mining town, then filled the gaps with fiction.
