ITT: Great shows that got canceled way too early

>t. Sucks cock by choice

Another Milch show he did with Michael Mann, Luck.
Most people have never even heard of it, since it got cancelled after the first season. Had there been more, it would probably have legendary status like Deadwood, and it would be well deserved.
It's great. Great writing, great characters, as you'd expect from Milch, likewise the dialogue, great performances, and everything else is really solid as well. It's really a tragedy that it was cancelled, but it was mostly due to behind-the-scenes drama. Milch and Mann did not get along at all, and there were several horse deaths(the show takes place around a horsetrack, is centered around people involved in racing and gambling).
Highly recommended viewing.

Watched it recently, didn't like it much. a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. Like, How we are supposed to root for ellsworth when he watched that chicks husband get murdered and didnt do shit. Why no one just shot Hearst already. Can't bring myself to watch the movie honestly.

Definitive answer.

Hearst had history armor and didn’t die until 1891 so they couldn’t kill him. Watch the movie if you want to see him get some sort of comeuppance

I'd rather this continue than Aborted Carbon

Ian McShane is great.

Jericho was bad ass for tv.

what do you think about the stuff about ellsworth? i feel like i must have missed something in season 1 because it doesn't make sense. Then they treat him like hes a good person or something.

Also, why did Al give up trying to kill the little girl? The retarded chick and charlie take her out of camp for a night and it's forgotten the next episode. I feel like i must be retarded and i just missed alot of stuff.

I think it got a bit too real for the network when they did the whole military industrial complex caused the attacks to install a puppet government and American Civil War 2.0 was just pushing it.
I'd love to see a remake though. One of my favourite running jokes was the morse code messages in the title sequence

Biggest travesty of them all desu

Star Trek Enterprise

I missed a lot of stuff on my first watch too. He killed the road agents instead of killing her so nobody could link him to it anymore

>I think it got a bit too real for the network when they did the whole military industrial complex caused the attacks to install a puppet government

This, I imagined some glow in the dark cia swamp nigger watching on vacation and doing a spit take when the plot was revealed.

It was surprisingly pro-CIA for the most part but yeah, the scene where the CIA officer talks about how torture doesn't work if you want information and then the ASA replaced all the public services with corporate officers that had previously tried to rape and pillage Jericho in S1 was probably too close to the bone as an Iraq parallel to be acceptable.

Person of Interest had some similar issues. I honestly believe they killed it because it was too real.

For context, here's a scene from Person of Interest depicting something similar happening

Wouldn't torture sometimes work though? i never understood why people say it doesn't work.

People say anything to make the pain stop and it's impossible to distinguish between that and the truth. Like remember the game "mercy" in school when you bend each others fingers until one of you can't take it and calls mercy? Imagine that except people admit to being terrorists, or say whatever it is they think you will stop hurting them if they say.

Makes sense

The example that's given for when torture does work is the theoretical "ticking time bomb" where you know everything except a single easily verifiable piece of information and you go Jack Bauer and have to break fingers until the guy tells you where the bomb is. The problem is that this hasn't ever happened, as far as we know. It's disingenuous to say it *never* would work, just that it's extremely unreliable, morally reprehensible, and less effective than a good interrogator can be without torture.
In the show they do a pretty good interrogation where torture is implied to be the alternative to the guy cooperating and making a deal that benefits him, and there may be some benefit to that but once you actually start pulling off finger nails then you're wasting your time because nothing the guy says is worth much.
