HBO Cancel ‘Vinyl’

Glad they cancelled Boardwalk Empire for this bust.

 

Man I kinda liked it...ah well...

 

Never tried it since first episode was basically a movie. Good thing I didn't...

 

Man it must have been really bad if HBO, which lets almost everything get a second crack and invested heavily in the show, cancelled it after a lone season

 

I watched the whole season, and I'm not even remotely bothered by this news. I know that we're living in the age of the antihero on TV, but most shows counterbalance that by having a supporting cast of likable people you want to see thrive. This show did not have a single person to root for, which made every stupid decision they made all the more insufferable. I really liked the concept, but they botched it from the start.

 

This was the worst HBO show in a long time.

 

New HBO head of programming is doing great work. Bringing back Curb, cancelling True Detective and this. Nice work.

 

Is True Detective dead? I thought it was on hold for a while.

 

Could the Cancellation of True Detective Ring in a New Era for HBO?

I think it's dead.

 

I watched this entire season mainly because I wanted to see how much worse the storyline and characters could get and it did not disappoint me there lol.

 

I was super excited for this, but never watched it after how lukewarm most of the buzz was. Seems like I didn't miss much.

 

Thanks for the scoop. Good riddance.

 

Same boat. Now if I want my music fiction shows sex drugs and rock and roll is comin back plus roadies first episode was promising

 

I was on the fence about the show for pretty much the whole season. I really wanted to like it but at times it just left me feeling eh. I was hoping maybe they could come back strong in the second season.

 

Definitely need to look into that one. I'm a big Cameron Crowe fan, so it's probably more up my alley than this one.

 

Yeah show was bad

 

Definitely dead. I know cause an HBO commercial said watch the entire series of True Detective meaning it's come to an end because normally they say "new season of.." if it's still on. It's a shame the second season couldn't find its grounding. I'm ok with Vinyl being cancelled but still salty about them cancelling The Brink after renewing it just 2 days prior.

 

Exactly the same.

 

Never got around to checking this out.

 

Maybe they should have set it in the 90s and called it CD.

 

Watched the first episode and never felt the need to watch the following ones

 

the show took WAYYYYYYY too long to figure out what they wanted to do. Bad main character, too scatter brained, and just....not what it could have been. A show about the music industry in the 70s via Martin Scorcese should be amazing!! The music was great but the great moments on screen were too minimal.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm pretty bummed.
