I am kind of glad it was canceled. It was perfect.

Sometimes it's better to end a show in it's prime than to let it drag on for too long. The ending is so bittersweet and impactful that I can't imagine a better way to end it, or how to have it go on from here without it feeling like it's being stretched. Not that I couldn't be surprised, and the writers seem more than up to snuff, but sometimes it's nice just to let a story end without turning it into an on-going saga.

I liked where it ended too. I imagine most typical viewers wouldnt though, at least on American TV. I'd probably continue watching if it was milked though so who cares what I think

Besides wanting to see them together as the power news couple I was rooting for, it feels like a fairly "closed" ending to those stories. This and Boss were two of my new favorites, sorry to see them both gone in their prime...

On Netflix, Hulu or any of the On Demands? I didn't see it on BBC America.

Netflix has it on DVD, but canistream.it doesn't even know it.

But amazon.com does have it available for streaming and, if you're a Prime member, it's free.

I can't believe the BBC cancelled it, it was one of the best programmes they had produced in years.
