Really sorry to hear about time bandits. I had a lot of hope for that show.

I’m surprised AMC canceled OB Echoes. It wasn’t a huge hit, but it’s not like it was an expensive production, or that AMC has anything to replace it with. I’d like to know if the international ratings were better. It will also be interesting to see if anyone else buys the property.

There's a lot of pressure for better performing works right now, money is tight as hell, and amc is honestly known for surprisingly great works like breaking bad.

Cancel one and steer the money towards something that will be a more likely winner, it's easier to sell to the board. You're both tightening your belt and increasing quality.
