Absolute shame that this show got canceled.

Everything gets cancelled, it has really stopped me from watching shows all together.

I'm tired of unfinished story plots etc in so many shows

I hope there is a trend towards standalone seasons like Fargo. Hard to get excited for shows that might get canceled or have 2+ years gaps between seasons unless I've already read or am planning to read the completed source material, so I'm not depending on the show for a conclusion.

Fargo is standalone-ish

Ive watched some of them and didn't even realize how they're all connected.

It's not a straight up anthology, it's not a continuous show, but I'm definitely going to do a rewatch and pay attention again to see how much I missed

But yeah, if a show is based on a book, I'm reading the books in the 2+ year gaps between seasons.

I've had it with TV, so many good series that get canceled early often leaving a cliff hanger that clearly would have been explored on the next season.

Dude needs to take a rest. He had a heart attack during Better Call Saul and then jumped right into another series lead after it ended.

I couldn't get into it. I was going to try again but....I guess not anymore.

It was such a good show. I’m really disappointed.

Bummer. I really liked where they were going with his character

I'm not massively surprised about this. I watched the first season and my best take was it's okay, it had some good moments and the characters were well developed, but I just didn't think it was quite as funny or sad interesting as it could have been.
