Canceling this great and not very expensive show makes me and my household want to pull the plug

First HBO cancels vinyl this year and now this?!!!!

Why continue paying for only a few great shows a year . yeah game of thrones is amazing but its almost over. I'll pay for two months next year for the whole 7 episodes. Real time and vice principals and night of are great but we need more great shows like this one HBO!!!!!

No one cares about the cropped movies you guys show that are ten months old at least . we have already seen them .

More original content that is interesting is what is needed.
This show was a wonderful addition to a premium cable provider and it is shameful HBO screwed this show and fans of this show yet again .

A major misstep for this network. Don't know what is going on over there but they ended once great shows like Boardwalk Empire and true blood horribly and they are dragging their feet with the great True Detective .
Don't know if the great 3 or 4 shows are worth over $100 a year. Seriously.
Impress or you guys are done for

Black lives matter. Screw the Blue!
Gavin Long and Micah Johnson are American heroes.

THis show was as guilty pleasure of mine but it was never good.

It NEVER was documentary series.

It NEVER showed what it was really like on set.

Making the movies was an after thought. They hired no talent, disagreeable directors that wouldn't get jobs as local commercial directors, let along million dollar features.

They orchestrated conflict like all reality shows do. They showed people doing things that would get them fired on real sets.

Take the last season. They showed Jason not making up his mind on where to shoot until the last minute, supposedly because he was such a perfectionist and so disagreeable he would ruin the movie rather than compromise--what they cut out is he decided on two other places before that. The places fell through for other reasons. The fact they almost didn't have a place to shoot wasn't his fault.

They also showed Effie and Jason at each others throats, both of them though have said they didn't argue much on set. They edited it to make it look like they hated each other.

And Vinyl was the worst show I ever saw on HBO next to Girls.

Never Trump! Never Hillary!
