Well, the ratings dropped and the show became more expensive to produce. It's a bloody shame.

Expensive = quality. It had an incredible storyline and was shot very cinematically, based on how shots were framed. I was wowed by last summer, and although there was some closure on the last episode, there was still much to be explored in the following seasons.

the story I'd always heard was that Knauf's blueprint was to have three 2-season stories amounting to a 6-season show... so the next season would've been nearly completely different anyway... and due to cost/viewers/whatever HBO decided to end it at 2 rather than 4 or 6.

Just finished this. both seasons, in a week's time, I was so hooked. They pulled liberally from literature and the bible. therese raquine, matthew lewis's the monk, the grapes of wrath, are the books I could identify. by far the best television show ever made.
