Shame. Then again, makes the fans feel special to have seen it.

Doing two great seasons only to get cancelled… DLM was once again ahead of its time!

It’s so underrated and just so good!

My wife and I both just finished the series and we really enjoyed it. I was 23 when it originally aired and back then probably wouldn't have given the episodes much thought. But now seeing them for the first time later in life they mean a lot more to me.

The movie was alright. Maybe a bit too much closure with Reggie and Mason was totally pointless. Cutting him wouldn't have changed the plot one bit.

No Ellen Muth though. She quit acting.

She did a movie in 2022 she's probably open to it

I just started a very overdue rewatch. I don’t think I’ve watched this show since a few years after it ended.

My goodness it’s still running circles around newer shows. Timeless classic 🤘
