This past week was one of surprises in the world of social TV – with unexpected trailers, new series and shock-worthy late night skits.
First, Netflix released a trailer for their new show ‘Bojack Horseman.’ It doesn’t have the same real-life drama-filled appeal as hits like ‘House of Cards’ or ‘Orange is the New Black’ but, but surprisingly enough, we’ve seen some advocacy for it on social media. Then the infamous ear-biting boxer Mike Tyson surprised Comic-Con with the reveal of his new ‘Scooby-Doo-esque’ cartoon series which looks…interesting, but worth watching nonetheless.
As usual, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers both hosted some high shock-value videos that are both entertaining and hilarious. Finally, our late night favorite John Oliver shares some disturbing facts about nuclear weapons in America and how sincerely suspect that top-secret facet of the American government is. All of which has gotten the masses buzzing on their social channels.
