The news is beyond infuriating.
Of all the shows that gets canceled it’s this one?
The remake of Gossip Girl?
No problem, see ya later.
That weird show with The Weeknd?
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Winning Time, though?
I don’t understand it.
This isn’t a good show, it’s a great show.
If you disagree and would rather watch Euphoria then different strokes for different folks.
The acting here is absolutely phenomenal.
Seriously, whoever was in charge of casting for this should have any job they want moving forward.
The biggest criticism I’ve read is that the show is too unrealistic at times.
Hey assholes, it’s NOT A DOCUMENTARY!!!
They literally admit it’s a dramatized version of the events that took place.
Who is watching this for a step by step depiction of what happened?
It’s built for entertainment and that’s what it is.
So what if Jerry West is upset that they display him as this deranged man?
He’s a lunatic who cares so much about the organization winning.
In my mind Jason Clarke’s portrayal of him was my favorite week in and week out.
Vulturedid an interview with executive producer Kevin Messick where he clapped back at that whole notion.
Everybody involved in this, all the real people, almost everybodys written autobiographies.
Theres tons of press and research.
This season we decided to show our work.
For the most part, I think weve hit most of the major beats.
The show is a love letter to basketball and to the Lakers and to their success and their rise.
That was the whole reason and the inspiration for making the show.
It captured a place and a time in sports history, in entertainment history, in Los Angeles history.
Those were the driving factors.
They do the same thing a few episodes prior when introducing Riley as head coach.
That was one of my favorite episodes in the two seasons in my opinion.
That whole ep felt like a movie in itself.
The problem I guess is that no one watched.
It wasn’t until the rumors of the cancellation that I saw the outpouring support online.
By then it was unfortunately too little too late.
If not enough people watch there’s only so much you might do though.
In that Vulture interview the possibility of another streaming service picking them up was discussed.
The door seems definitely open for that if someone wants to play ball.
We havent really dug into that.
The first thing she said is, You cant end there!
I know its effective because the person that was in the room where it happened was affected by it.
But, again, it wasnt where we wanted to land.
How the fuck is this show canceled??
The Short Porch had more run than this.
Someone needs to scoop this up and continue the story.
