Yeah, dark & Gritty is passé. I am tired of it. 
It looks like I was on the right track about Billy and Anton. Agnew wanted the case to go cold and Geddes wanted to pin it on someone. So now they get to pin it on some fictitious ‘Chaldean’ and solve 3 murders with the stroke of a mouse.
I was however a little lost near the end with Agnew highlighting McCann’s and Geddes signatures on the incident reports of suicides. I assume those were bogus reports but I didn’t rewind to try to figure out exactly what the problem was.
I also didn’t get why the protection at the blind pig (Poppa T?) had an issue with Damon(?) not telling him about the Skelos association. Wasn’t that the first thing out of his mouth when he went to Rev. Lowdown?
Tangentially related. It looks like AMC isn’t too upset with the show runner for LWS since they’re giving him another pilot.
D’ohhhhh. A moan of disappointment goes up from the crowd as the cancellation notice for Low Winter Sun quietly slips into the abyss of the Friday news cycle.
But it’s not all ahem ‘bad’ news
deltasigma, I feel your pain. A few shows I really liked were cancelled – Kidnapped, Terriers, and that one where Jeff Goldblum solved crimes with the help of the ghosts of the victims.
Heck, there was one several years ago that only lasted two episodes. All I remember is two lawyers, or maybe they were private detectives – very quirky and funny.
Oh, and that one with Jeremy Renner as a cop. Renner went on to bigger and better things but the show didn’t get a full season. Renner’s character had a buddy with premonitions of death. I don’t remember if they came true or not.
Thanks sweetie 
:). As I try to watch things more critically, I have to admit that it had its problems. As much as I liked Mark Strong’s character, it really didn’t add up a lot of the time and neither did that of Lennie James or even the story for that matter. [le sigh]
I’ve already mentioned this, but I so love dark, dreary, ponderous ambiance that I really wanted to love the show and wanted to see it thrive. And this had all of the elements of video Nirvana for me. I don’t care if there’s no plot or if it has more holes than my brain on PCP. Just let me wallow for 42 minutes in soul crushing hopelessness and despair and I’m yours.
Hmmm. Do you get the Sundance channel? It has The Returned, and Rectified and they fit that description.
Especially The Returned. I had to bail after four episodes – it really IS soul crushing.
Thank you :). I have both in my queue. I just recently heard about The Returned and only got that one with some reluctance since it’s subbed, but I couldn’t pass it up. Rectal-fied is one that I really enjoy too. I watched the whole of the second season on Sundance and now need to see season one. I might actually rewatch season two to pick up whatever references I missed - and I almost never re-watch tv series.
There is a second season of Rectified? Shit. How did I miss that?
Never mind. I just checked. There were so many references to what happened before that I just assumed that there must have been. There’s only one so far. D’oh. :smack:
The Unusuals. Harold Perrinneau (sp?) had the visions. He was partnered with Adam Goldberg if I remember correctly. The visions didn’t come true. Goldberg was next on to NYC22, which aired at 10 on Saturday nights, a time it was sure to catch a following. Cop shows I like tend to die young.
Good to know. I really don’t want to miss this show.
D_Odds, seems like if both of us were watching, that should have been enough to keep it on. But nooooooooooooo.
