Enjoyed Shut Eye. But all good things must end. I’m grateful to Hulu and Sony. They were great places to work at. Onward and upward.

What do you think? Have you seen Shut Eye? Do you think the show deserved a third season?
Shame on hulu. This show was really good.
Wow, I’m saddened to hear it was canceled. Very creative premise, excellent acting, all kinds of plot lines to explore (supernatural, FBI white collar crime investigations, Roma culture, weird family bs). If this show can’t get renewed, what show is actually deserving?
I really enjoyed this show, and wish it would have been continued. This was one of the few Hulu Original series that I liked. I am sure it will make more room for another reality show. Soon that is all we will have to watch – low budget, no writing talent, fly by night want-to-be actors on reality shows…! Maybe I will just cancel Hulu and Netflix and just watch YouTube for entertainment. Why pay for crap?
I really loved this show omg, I’m so sad to hear it’s canceled, I found it I told all my friends how good it was! I binged watched it! Such a great story line, so much happening and to look forward to! I love my second family, my Shut Eye family! They should really bring this back! I usually don’t watch anything with only a couple seasons for this reason, but I didn’t realize it till I was most of the way through! This is a Heartbreaker Hulu!
AAAAGGGHHH!! This sucks!! I need closure!!
I really liked Shut Eye. I’m a huge fan of Jeffery Donovan, and now of Angus Samson! The actors were good, but the writing and story line… not so much. Not surprised it was canceled, it sure wasn’t the actor’s fault! Not on the page, it’s not on the stage. Looking forward to seeing Donovan and Samson on other shows!
This was a really good show. As usual crappy shows are renewed and a show of merit is axed. Boooo…bad.
why oh why Great show bring it BACK
No way…no end to the story? Why bother then!! It was really great series
What??? Are you kidding me? There was no resolution at end of season two. I feel like we’ve been scammed. I’m not going to invest my time watching any more of Hulu’s original series, if they’re going to leave their audiences hanging.
Every time I get into watching a great series, in this case, ‘Shuteye”, it gets cancelled. I’m beginning to think the TV gods have a microphone in my TV room and whenever they hear me say “this is a great show”, they chuckle, a lot, and say “gotcha!” Shuteye has , errr had, that certain something. Great actors, a great story and a great production. I want to know what is going to happen in their lives. I care about Charley’s family. Arrrgghhh. Well, at least I have 3 more episodes left. The same thing happened with Sense 8. Another… Read more »
Another loss I was becoming impressed with with quite a few of the #huluOriginals. Now I’m really disappointed, there’s not much left anymore.
I’m so mad at Hulu for canceling this show!!! It was a great show, but I’d have to call it a hidden gem because you had to stumble across it to know it existed! The handmaids tale was widely advertised so no wonder if got so many views, it was promoted well. This show i never heard about until I found it by luck and I mean bad luck now that I found out its been canceled. The show was put together well, it had good cliff hangers – definitely made you want to binge watch!! Im just dumbfounded as… Read more »
Are You KIDDING ME!!! I just binge-watched this whole show and Just Finished… couldn’t get enough!!!! I just Now found out there’s no more, What!!?
And whoever wrote S2 Finale… Damn! Pure Genius!! I want MORE!!!!!!! Someone needs to send me the script of how things were gunna go… Cuz my mouth DROPPED on that Finale… Brilliant!! Hulu, wth are you thinking?!?!?!?
Remember when the brain trusts at Fox cancelled Firefly? I bet the same moron went to work for Hulu. At least give us a movie to tie up loose ends.
