Same. First thing I thought when I saw the post title was "What? They made a new Kindred series? How did I miss this??" followed by disappointment.

The article says they only adapted a third of the book. Absolute madness this was not a limited series to begin with. I’ll score it off my watchlist now it has been cancelled without a conclusion.

Omg it was. I am dumb. I would posit that those three shows were bad after awhile but I am truly kneecapping my own argument with true blood.

Nah, True Blood was an HBO show.
Showtime had Dexter, Weeds, Californication, and endless seasons of Shameless, Homeland, and Ray Donovan.

I actually thought the girls in the show were pretty ugly. In fact i can’t think of one attractive woman in the show

Reply to comment by 33LivesAloneHas3cats in ABC News Breaks Up With Amy Robach, T.J. Holmes Over Off-Camera Affair by Jeffmister
These people operate at a level far above mere severance packages. Ever since the news broke, the show they host has been continues to be called "GMA3, with your hosts TJ and Amy," which tells us that they weren't out yet. Surely their lawyers were fighting it out with the network's lawyers, and if the shows intro hadn't mentioned them, it probably would have been seen as firing them, thus violating their contract.
The network would have cited the rite to cancel the contracts under the "moral turpitude" clause, and the stars' lawyers would have reminded them that simply having an adult relationship while separated from their spouses wouldn't have qualified as a violation of moral turpitude.
So the network wanted them gone, but were bound by their contracts, and the stars' lawyers have been busy negotiating golden parachutes for them.

I loved Laverne and Shirley growing up. May she rest in peace.

I’m a deeply cynical person with a shrivelled heart and I will not stop recommending this show. Wholesome good fun, watch it people!

Rege Jean Page knew that signing on to other shit instead of making cameos on this show was the move. You have like 10 minutes to capitalize on your fame and that’s it. Sticking around would only hurt your career.

Showtime has never really had amazing shows or numbers. They’re definitely not actually competing with HBO over quality programming.
HBO has Sopranos, the Wire, Six Feet Under. Showtime had 7284 seasons of True Blood (edit: true blood was on HBO, making my argument wrong)

Sam Esmail knows what he's doing. This show has it all: killer cinematography, a superb soundtrack and score, delicious acting from amazing actors, a plot that hooks you from the start, memorable characters, innovative visual storytelling, a satisfying ending and incredible social commentary. Mr. Robot knew what it wanted to do and ran away with it. There is some growing pains on season 2 because season 1 was the buzziest show of the season, but the show is very good. One of my favorites.

That's it. It laid out mysteries through its run and it manages to answer many of them, while leaving others unanswered but that don't feel frustrating.

I was disappointed by The Leftovers. Some questions do need answers like how did Kevin get powers and what did it mean? With a show that finishes with a big question mark about the sudden departure, why bother introducing an extra layer of supernatural things and not explaining that. I am ok with no explanation about the sudden departure but to me not explaining supernatural Kevin felt like a cop out. Like Lindelof hadn't decided whether or not he wanted to give an answer about the sudden departure and gave Kevin superpowers, then decided for an open ended mystery, but it leaves Kevin's arc twisting in the wind. It's a good show that is frustrating because of its shortcommings

I binged a season or two of it. But it just got too weird for me so I dropped it.

They only managed to adapt a third of the book. That is hardly going out on a high. It would have been better to just make this as a miniseries from the get go!
