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. > Copied from my comment for the series: Under The Dome because iam to lazy to retype it for this series :) > 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. > Since 2013 Mini Series, Event Series & 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. > 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.
