I am absolutely gutted! It’s a phenomenal series. I truly expected it to run through as many seasons as Six Feet Under (best drama series of all time). The cast is exceptional and the writing is so, so relevant and poignant for today’s society. C’mom HBO! What the hell are you thinking?! I’m completely captivated by it. Gosh, I hope they change their mind!
Yes it is! I loved that show! If I wasn’t home I recorded it! I can’t believe it!!! It’s nice to know that others feel the way I do!
