Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Yeah. A lot more def goes on behind the scenes, and then some shows that are still going way way past their expiration date are kept around because they do well overseas. Sometimes it's also because, even though it's now crap, it's ratings are still good and its still making them money so they're like, might as well keep it around.

YESSSSSS. The reason for Sense8's cancellation blew my mind. I could see if they said, hey, the second season flopped hard between its reception and its viewing numbers. I would've been like, okay. THIS HURTS but it's a legit reason. The actual reason just didn't make sense. Heyyyyy we haven't cancelled any of our originals so I guess we'll just cancel some!!! And the second season barely premiered so there really wasn't any legit reasoning even behind the scenes because there wasn't enough time for them to be like, the numbers are not looking good guys if that was going to the the case.

lol omg I was legit just posting about this in a FFAF post. I wish shows were given notice at least five episodes in advance when they're going to be cancelled so they can wrap things up. I know this is wishful thinking since, depending on the show and network, they wrap up filming anywhere between halfway through airing the season to a month or two ahead so that'd be really short notice. On the same token, they can also be like, hey. You guys are on the line and things aren't looking good... but I know a lot of networks choose what they'll be cancelling way ahead of time and still don't give notice. It's like, let these shows wrap things up. Give them a two hour wrapping things up special etc. This is a story with viewers invested in them. Why not build some trust with them that hey, you do care about them even though ratings etc. etc. are making you guys have to cancel them? Because I've been burned by two networks cancelling crap and barely even promoting their shows etc. before they even start airing and then dropping the ball once they start. I honestly don't trust that any of my shows on ABC and FOX will be given a fair chance so when my shows are cancelled there I'm like, well, I knew they were probably going to axe the thing and I went in thinking they were going to axe the thing so I'm happy that said show got more time than I thought they would.

Same hereeeee. I tried to keep up with season two but it just got so bad and everything was being destroyed and... I just pretend it stayed cancelled and The CW started a whole new Supergirl with the same cast and it's just far from being up to par. I think that, in part, it was due to the filming location moving because they did lose a main player and then they tried to recreate that with a new character who was just crap. On top of that, they nipped things that were set up from day one in the bud from the start etc. and some of it was... very CW showish. Not all of their shows are this way, that's for sure, but a lot of them seem to have certain things that are all common with them and I have to wonder if that's the network putting their two cents in behind the scenes because it's just too common for it not to be.
