AMC is going off their diet. Vulture reports the network has cancelled Dietland after only one season.
The dark comey centers on Daisy Chain magazine ghostwriter, Plum Kettle (Joy Nash). As this perpetual dieter starts to broaden her perspective on self-worth and feminism, someone starts taking out men who have been accused of sexual abuse and assault. Now Plum is caught between two worlds, while she is still trying to make sense or her own life. The AMC series also stars Julianna Margulies, Robin Weigert, Adam Rothenberg, Tamara Tunie, and Erin Darke.
Despite a star cast and critical acclaim, Dietland never really caught on ratings-wise. Season one averaged a .10 rating in the 18-49 demo with only 433,000 viewers.
What do you think? Have you seen Dietland? Do you think the show deserves a second season?
Good. This show was pure trash. It showed that men should be subservient to women and that women can kill men if they think the man got away with a crime.
I love Dietland! Please bring it back for season 2!
PLEASE BRING DIETLAND BACK. I LOVED THIS SHOW. THE SHOW WAS INTRIGUING AND KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING.
I thought Dietland was excellent. Brilliant writing and acting, and a fascinating story line. I hope they manage to bring it back somehow!
Dietland is the most brilliant TV ever produced. It is a work of art. Women are portrayed in all our complexities, better than anywhere else in TV or in movies. The acting is excellent. Scripts are brilliant. We are impoverished by its cancellation. I believe it will find a cult following, much like Star Trek, if allowed another season.
I think it may have been the after show, where they talked about what was just shown, that doomed the serries. The after show had a politically Left leaning bend to it. I t was enough for me not to want to see anymore.
YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD. THE AFTER-SHOW EXPRESSED AS MUCH OBJECTIVITY AS “JENNIFER” CULT. ALSO,
NO ONE HAS EVER ADDRESSED THE DEEPLY IMBEDDED, TOTALLY PC, PREJUDICE TOWARDS THE OVERWEIGHT. THERE WAS THE MESSAGE OF SELF-ACCEPTANCE SO MANY OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE NEED TO ADOPT, AS WELL. THE SERIES WAS DARK. YES. I DON’T THINK SANE PEOPLE WALK AROUND WITH THAT MUCH HATRED TOWARDS THE MALE SPECIES. STILL, IT WAS WELL WRITTEN, WELL ACTED AND SHOULD HAVE GONE ON.
I’m not surprised because having watched only the first episode, it was so dreadful that I couldn’t bring myself to watch another.
Such a shame bearing in mind the quality of the cast.
They must have known quite early on that they had a duff one on their hands.
I liked it – I thought it was interesting. I just kept forgetting to watch. I love Julianna in ANYTHING she does, but I guess I won’t miss it, because I just completely forgot it was on !!
Good, it’s not a Comedy when your promoting Terrorist Acts.
