**6/29/2018 Status Update: History has cancelled Six after two seasons. Details here.
Please say it isn’t so!! Six is a fantastic show, great actors, great scenarios, edge of your seat drama! Why?? This is the main reason I tune into the History Channel, it has some really good programming and now you take it from us!! I certainly hope someone else picks it up!!
The cancellation should come as no real surprise as we are told that shows such as “Two and a Half Men” or “American Idol” have or are America’s favorites. I never watch the major network shows. “SIX” was a very welcome offering. I see some criticism of the show as focusing too much on the personal lives of the team’s members. Perhaps this is valid. However, if less emphasis was on this aspect I am sure there are those who would find reason to criticize on the lack of such emphasis. As for the “colorful” or profanity language I am… Read more »
EXCELLENT show – please don’t cancel!! The CIA/Olivia Munn story line dragged on too long, but after last night’s episode, you can see it getting back on track. Gotta keep this going! There are so few shows that my husband and I both truly enjoy and look forward to, but this is definitely one. Such a great cast! We love all the action, but also getting a glimpse into the struggles these guys face balancing the dangers of their job and their family life is fascinating. I never post comments, but when I heard this show is being cancelled, I… Read more »
The show is GREAT! Do not cancel this, PLEASE! You can’t just build it up like this and just leave all the faithful viewers hanging. If, you do anything different, just leave out the “f” word and graphic SEX scenes. Other than that it is the BEST! Less “f” and sex and you will pick up more viewers. LOVE THE STORY AND THE CAST!
Loved watching Six. Sad to see it be cancelled.
Super bummed my hubby and I watch every week we love this series
This season was very disappointing. Walter Goggins was a great loss as he is a superb actor and the show centered around him. Once he was gone, there was a very large void of strong characters and military action. Too much on the personal front with the guys and not enough SEAL. I knew it was going to tank.
I think history channel should renew Six. I Love to binge watch shows, so I tend to wait til the whole season is available. I believe many people do the same, for this reason I think the way ratings are considered should change. Programming has changed drastically.
You made a huge mistake killing Rip so fast. I was really disappointed about that, this guy could have changed those ratings really hard. Cindy is right, Six needs more media attention, I found it totally randomly, there were totally not enough ads or anything.. Very disappointed to hear its gonna be cancelled. Shows the most interesting, brutal job for a man, shows how it creates and destroys their minds, their faimilies… so goddamn deep tv series gonna be cancelled… it hurts. I know its clear bussines – but reconsider this decision, please.
This is a show both my husband and myself enjoy watching. We are very disappointed that it will not be on for another season. Hopefully enough people will make a comment and let History Channel reconsider. It has not been advertised very much and would have been seen by more people if it had more awareness & media attention. Please keep this show it is a winner.
Very disappointed Six is going to be cancelled. Love this show, the characters and story line. Season 2 is quite different than season 1. It seems the professional and personal lives of the SEALS are being tested. However with 4 episodes left I can’t wait to see what happens. History channel please reconsider this excellent series .
Love this show. It needs a season 3 and beyond
Oh look at the ratings, Needs to be canceled.
They have killed this show. After the 2nd episode, I deleted the series from my DVR, and was VERY sad to do so. I’m just not interested in yet another military spec ops show where the CIA girl is the boss of them, and they’re on some mission to get back at the guy who killed her boyfriend. It could have survived and even succeeded after Rip died, showing the continued growth of the team created by Rip and as individuals finding themselves outside of his shadow. But that is not the direction they chose. And it seems they stepped… Read more »
YES! The best military drama.
you can’t cancel! It’s a great show!
