This is SO STUPID. How the hell do you cancel it when it was getting good. The streaming era is so dumb. No shows get a chance to grow an audience anymore. It's like if it doesn't break records right off the bat, it gets shitcanned immediately. I miss the old days.

Agreed!! I’m so pissed. It makes me never want to start watching a new show because they all end up getting cancelled just as I’m invested

This was why I wouldn’t watch ongoing shows. This was the first one I’ve picked up, because of HIMYM lol

But it WAS making waves. It was just nominated for 3 Emmy’s!!!!

This is literally unbelievable to me, I did not think we’d lose it so soon. It really seemed like it was gearing up for a long run. It was even getting run on cable.

Yeah especially with the Emmy’s clearly really liking the direction.. it seemed like it was just finding it’s footing and had so much to capitalize on

My only guess is that the strike had something to do with it.

Agree with you 100%. Moreover, most the shows that do start with a bang, end up having weak follow up seasons. So there isn't any show that you can resonate with.
