Wish it hadn't been cancelled

I really enjoyed this series and wish it hadn't been cancelled.  It is intelligent, funny, sad and often scary.  The characters for the most part are interesting and not your usual stereotypical characters.  The writing is good.  Some of the scariest parts are when average every day people are infected with the "virus".

I don't know why they ever canceled this series.  Judging from the reviews it rates up there.  The idiots at WB just left the fans hanging.  Go figure.

I loved this show.  I became hooked from the very first episode and was disappointed it was cancelled after only two seasons.  I read an article where the creators stated this was a good way to end it.  WHAT?? Too many things are unresolved.  They've done a major disservice to the fans and the actors.  Boo to producers and decision-makers!  I hope they have a change of heart and start production again; or, at the very least, do a film to tie up all of the loose ends.

I enjoyed the series. A bit over dramatic and unrealistic at points, but overall, I was happy with the storyand the fact that it was a limited series (all too many now are open ended - never ending series). I thought the ending made so much sense. After the epilogue, I actually thought that another series might be fun.

I recently saw the 10-episode mini-series on TV. I was very disappointed. Other than the basic premise of the story, they completely re-wrote the plot. I understand that you can't do everything in a TV series that you can in a book, but this was a complete re-write. I was especially disappointed in the TV show's ending. It really didn't make a lot of sense and was a transparent set up for a future series.

I LOVE this show - especially John Reese. SPOILER ALERT....... the show has officially been cancelled. I really don't understand why they ( whomever it is ) cancels excellent shows. All they do is produce hundreds of trashy shows.

The books is great, though it ends with a cliffhanger, which would have been fine if the next book, slated to be the last in the series, hadn't been canceled. Really makes me wish I has stopped at the end of Downfall.

Crap, so now it's been cancelled. That's just great. Not that I don't watch Galactica, but Dresden was just as good. Meanwhile, Flash Gordon is only tolerable right now - and I can't keep my finger off the fast forward button to move the plot along. One wonders if the Sci-Fi channel is its own worst enemy - showing rehashed B-grade Sci-Fi for years -- when I watched the Dresden Files, I thought they'd finally turned the corner and could produce great TV on a regular basis. Now they've cancelled the Dresden Files -- what gives?

I think the worst thing about this show is or was the title - absolutely terrible! The casting and story lines had a lot of potential; I don't think this was any worse than other similar shows geared primarily at women. I definitely enjoyed watching it but, of course, was left disappointed and frustrated because the story ended abruptly when the show was canceled. Due for a revival IMO.

I'm SO disappointed that this show was cancelled; true, it accomplished something the last episode, Abbadon was defeated. But what I REALLY wanted was for Levi and Amy to become the family they should have always been. Not only is Luke Wilson a dreamboat and one hell of an actor, but Laura Dern is absolutely magnetic in her role. Levi was enlightened at the end, and despite all their dysfunctions they remain true and heartfelt toward each other... with all the mindless entertainment out there, why couldn't HBO have supported an actually positive influence in media?! Maybe "ratings" really weren't what this show was going after. Maybe HBO is just as crooked and corrupt as Abbadon. Damn, loved watching this and I hate that theres no more to watch.

Really liked this show, it starts of really, really great, by the time you get to the last season though - they turned it into a soap opera / continuing drama.
Too bad, I really liked the premises and the acting. Kind of like Heroes - where the writers totally dropped the Ball.
The whole thing was kind of like x-files meets twilight zone, only a lot better.
I liked it for a lot of reasons and am sorry they cancelled it.
Was also a fan of Star Trek Enterprise and still don't understand how THAT got cancelled. It just got better and better and it got cancelled.
I guess TV needs a certain sub-standard IQ to thrive!
Heroes and Sanctuary are prime examples why you should stick to writing that works and not "New and Improve" it!

Loved this show since it aired and was bummed that it was cancelled. I was able to find it online a couple of years later and downloaded the individual episodes but, now I'm glad to be able to finally have it on proper dvd. Too bad there isn't a bluray dersion of it.

The product itself was of good quality. The show on the other hand... May have deserved being canceled...

This is one of the best Sci-Fi shows that has come along since Star Trek, I couldn't believe that it was canceled. I thought the fight scenes were done with great skill. I use to teach Filipino stick fighting so I know that there was an excellent trainer in the background. The show that followed (I can't remember the name) was quite forgettable and the lead actors were pathetic. The only redeeming actor was the teen age nerd that was talked into going with them, anyway I digress.

So sad to see it canceled.  Was hoping to see HBO create the two movies they said they were going to make to draw the series to an official ending...

This is one of the best shows I have watched in a LONG time (adapted from this book). As a woman, it was totally empowering to see how far we've come because brave women like these stood up for themselves and their talents at a time when it was difficult to do so. I am SO disappointed in Amazon for cancelling it, and think it was a terrible move on their part. The show caused me to buy (from them) and read the book as well. Seems like that kind of cross-promotion would be a good thing. Very short-sighted on the part of Amazon Execs (rumors were that there were no women in the room for the decision and the final arbiter hadn't even watched the show - SHAME!).

I realize I reviewed the show instead of the book, but wanted to get my two cents in about the decisions to cancel. I thought Lynn's book was interesting, and offered some good background about what it was like for women in the early 70s.
