    Throw it on the pile.

    At least Our Flag Means Death had a bit of closure at the end of the 2nd season. I’m livid there won’t be another season of Raised by Wolves.

      I will never again lament that a show didn’t find closure before cancelation.

      We were really liking Ragnarok (Netflix), but when it was clear thege wouldn’t be a fourth year, the writers threw together the worst, most unsatisfying, rushed, cop-out conclusion. Ever. Like, GoT season 8, but worse. Like they collectively said, “cancel us? Then fuck you!”

      I honestly wish I’d have quit in the middle of S3. Not knowing would have been better.

      I had strong love for the brilliance of the first 2 episodes as directed by Ridley Scott, and the absolute batshit craziness of the ones directed by his son, Luke. It was pretty clear they ran out of SFX budget for S1 during that scene though…

        Batshit is about right. That show was so off the rails in such a fun way. Really scratched the bizarre sci-fi itch. To the point that I didn’t mind the poorly done visuals. It was a lot like Lexx or Red Dwarf in that regard.

      It really sucks. The third season would’ve been the last anyway by design. Zaslav has turned HBO/Max into the new Netflix. it’s best not to get invested in anything they make now. He’s going to cancel it.

    “Business people” don’t contribute anything to society and should be thrown into a dumpster.

    Um… So I guess I shouldn’t finish season 2 then?! It’s not a cliffhanger, is it? Unlike Santa Clarita Diet.

      It’s not a cliffhanger at all. The show would be greatly improved by a third season imo just because the tone of the 2nd season is really intense compared to the first, and while S2 has a fairly satisfying ending - it could really use the catharsis of a final act.

        Just to expand on myself, I’ve read that S2 had a lower budget than S1 and everybody knew they might not get a S3, so they wrote it to have a satisfying ending even though they were still hoping for S3.
