And then it was CANCELLED by the end of season 1 with only 10 episodes. I've come to believe that the TV industry has become spoiled by the low cost, low budget, low quality invention of Reality Shows. It seems that any new show that comes out, if it doesn't kill the ratings the first season and in some cases I've seen the first 3 episodes, the TV Executives kill it. This show had some real potential and could have gone in so many directs, hell the whole first season was like a roller coaster ride of suspense and discovery and twists at every turn. I love a show that when you start to think you know what's going on, something else happens that makes you say, "NO Fing Way"! So sad that the TV industry has forgotten what commitment, loyalty and belief to a show is and that it may take some word-of-mouth and the like to gain larger audiences but if you kill it early, you'll never know. I guess it really is all about the money but then again maybe the Internet and online programming like Netflix (and others) will start to change all that with better shows.

The show was designed to end this way. I think they covered all three current books. If anything they would have taken a different story for S2 (think American Horror Story, True Detective). No need to romp on the TV industry...

It indeed wasnt canceled it was designed to be an event series.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &gt; Copied from my comment for the series: Under The Dome because iam to lazy to retype it for this series :)<br /> <br /> &gt; Around 2008 alot of people became pissed of about the high percentage of series that never conclude to anything because of cancellations and because alot of director/writers are idiots with no self respect who think every series deserves 50 seasons. So television channels wondered how can we keep fooling people so we can keep writing shit that never has to conclude to anything.<br /> <br /> &gt; Since 2013 Mini Series, Event Series &amp; Limited Series have become marketing terms in television so that networks cant be blamed anymore for cancellations and people seem to be accepting it for the most part. So if a series is called a miniseries but has more then 8 episodes and low production value avoid them thill they ended and did actual conclude to something. FOX likes the term 'event series' since 2014 it kinda means the same shit will happen, you will then for an example end up with a series like: Wayward Pines. So an open ended series that may or may not have another event following someday.<br /> <br /> &gt; With all 3 marketing terms they can also ofcourse just renew the series if the ratings are high enough, but thats not the point. The point is to let people believe they shouldnt complain if a series didnt conclude to anything.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT SERIES! ITS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER OF SUSPENSE. I FIND MYSELF ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE NEXT EPISODE EVERY WEEK, THEY ALWAYS LEAVE U W/SUCH DRAMATIC ENDINGS, ALWAYS WANTING MORE! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS LATELY.

Don't get too hung up on some of the poor reviews u see. Be prepared the first few episodes can sometimes have a slow start, once u r all caught up w/the characters & what is going on, then the show really picks up w/so many twists & turns, & unexpected things, the suspense is amazing!

Just realize going in, THIS IS A SCI-FI SERIES, u cannot get hung up on holding the writers accountable to explaining every little detail, like how come they have beer, where did it come from, that detail is unimportant to the storyline, it's not going to be explained. Just move past that, remember IT'S A SHOW- NOT REALITY & ur not going to see flawless scripts, that explain every detail, ur meant to sometimes use ur imagination & not overthink every detail. There's not enough time to get into that level of detail. No worries though as ALL THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS R ANSWERED.

If ur a critic, who needs every single detail explained thoroughly, w/out gaps or things left unexplained, then it may not be for u.

However, if u like suspense, & shows that keep u on the edge of ur seat, that r full of surprises that u NEVER see coming, then U WILL LOVE THIS SHOW!

This show just gets better & better! I enjoyed Season 1 quite a bit. When Season 2 started, I realized many of the characters I really grew to love, such as Terrance Howard, or Matt Dillion were gone, I was prepared for the show to start to kind of suck. But then a whole new cast was introduced, w/main characters like Jason Patric, it was EVEN BETTER than the 1st season. I loved the dramtic ending especially w/Jason & Kerry, talk about something u NEVER SAW COMING! Also, the way they left things, showing u that last frame w/the Abbie holding a baby, so many possibilities for Season 3! SUPER EXCITED!!!

SPOILER ALERT...It's a pitty that a show with such a potential ends like that.I mean look at the first episodes it's great.i feel the mystery i sympatyhize the characters but god what the hell with this ending??It's like the writers does not even care to explain what's going on.There is a 3 year gap that the only thing we know is that Pincher is worshiped by class one which is now on charge.Are you serious?So we have to take for granted that 15 tennagers have taken control over all the adults including the armed and armored soldiers?It gives me the feeling that it is not complete.Moreover how is ti possible to have unlimited resourses of food?Where do they find it??We see every fridge full of food...the facilities inside the mountain has also so many food.If we assume they gathered it from the beggining how do they sustain it throughout the years?For God shake there is beer..beer...200 years after life seized to exist but beer has survived...Another issue is the fence...This is actually a ridiculus fence...So Pincher thought ''why not to build a wall full of electricity but if there is a blackout we are done''...My little sister could climd that wall without electricity let alone these predators..Anyway..Matt Dillon is awesome and perfect for the role...The plot is nice and fun to follow..In conclusion i think the show is good but not enough for more than 4/10
