"Winning Time" has battled lower viewership and criticism from former Lakers players. The strike contributed to the show being canceled.

Not a sports guy, but I've been enjoying the show. Was sad tonight when I realized I'd just watched the series finale.

What a fucking bummer. Great show.

Dammit. I figured as much with how the end of this season wrapped up, but I wish they had kept going. Brody was excellent as Riley, and who doesn't like John C Reilly?

Now I have to look up how Buss' lawsuit played out.

This was the only good thing on HBO. Yes, even better than house of the dragon ( I'm still sick from GoT season 8).

I find House of the Dragon convoluted and dull. My dislike of it it completely unrelated to GoT.

The best show on HBO in years. They are fucking dumb. It didn't even look expensive to produce the whole thing takes place in like 5 places.

It was doing well enough ratings wise. After the merger they're only going to put money into sure things. Prepare for more garbage lowest common dominominator content. Superheros!!!!! Although, gotta say I did really enjoy peacemaker. It's like so dumb and intentionally bad, it's like it's making fun of the whole genre.

Absolutely dumbfounding decision, especially when their other good shows are ending or have already ended. There's nothing left to give me a reason to subscribe to the service and I cancelled while mentioning this as the reason.

How to with John Wilson ended, Succession is over, Barry is over, they moved Minx off network, they don't even have Westworld anymore (a show that hasn't been good since its first season) and other things I can't remember.

The app and the network are also no longer worth the price, and I have absolutely zero interest in the basic cable tier reality show content they've added in the last six months.

It really was a great show. A disappointment indeed.
