Can't say I didn't see that coming. They should have listened to the fans more. But there are SO many loose ends. This The Nine Lives of Chloe King all over again. Damn it ABC Family.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me really sad. Loved the cast, hope to see them in some my other favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteunfortunately no surprise there, at least danny and jo admitted their feelings for each other and were going to get together it's like abc family doesn't believe in mystery, supernatural dramas only in normal non-supernatural dramas like birth or fosters and it completely sucks, it's the third show like this to get cancelled, first kyle xy then ravenswood and now twisted, damn it, it sucks
ReplyDeleteDropped it after episode 14... Does it end on a cliffhanger?
ReplyDeleteThe fact that I liked a handful of people in the cast is why I'm glad they canceled it. Now they have a chance to find better projects.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the show before it went on a break, so it's first 11 eps. But than they resolved the psycho story to fast, I mean the whole tension was revolving around the fact that Danny maybe isn't that a good guy and they took it away in just 1 episode. Awful.
ReplyDeleteI liked the cast dynamic as well that is why I wanted it to continue. But as said looking forward to see them in other projects. ^_^
It was deserved, it never found its groove, and it was promoted like crazy and still none cared. It wasn't a good show either, the story the acting nothing worked.
ReplyDeleteCalled it months ago.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be ABC Family's method these days: 1 season and done.
ReplyDeleteOr its popular and runs too long ie PLL
ReplyDeleteThis makes me really happy! About time, this show turned to crap during the 2nd half, and after the treatment of Lacey and turning her character to more of a side character instead of a main. Good riddance,
ReplyDeleteHaha it's the network's philosophy! Either too short or too long.
ReplyDeleteTuned out after like 3 episodes.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Secret Life was a horrible show yet ran what, five or six seasons. TLG was decent and got canceled. Twisted was great in its first half but I can't comment on the second, after I saw the fate of Ravenswood I knew Twisted would be done for and didn't bother. ABCF has very high expectations because of PLL but they need to realize like every other cable network has, you can't expect all your shows to be as big as your number one show and when your number one show has gotten your viewers to expect nothing but open-endedness and no resolutions to anything important how do you expect new shows to attract all those people? Ugh. I almost wish FOX would buy back the network from ABC/Disney, at least it would be interesting to see what kind of originals they'd have then.
ReplyDeleteThat's almost a guarantee. I watched the first half of the season and was really into it, but I assumed it would get canceled because it was airing behind PLL and getting like half or less of their viewers. Too bad I was looking forward to finishing it but I will most likely not bother now.
ReplyDeleteI thought Lying Game was decent too, and I never watched Secret Life of the American Teenager as I was never interested in it, it wasn't my cup of tea. You are spot on about the network's expectations though. Could you imagine if AMC had of cancelled Breaking Bad after its third season just because Walking Dead was so doing so much better? Or True Blood in its first season when it's ratings were God awful after The Sopranos was so huge? Killing a show too early hinders any chance of growth that has been proven can happen with all of those shows that start low, same with Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I'm surprise took forever to tell us if the show was going to get renew sad to see it go love the show
ReplyDeleteNot super surprised (though when I saw them at the Teen Choice Awards I thought maybe!). Would like to know a bit about how they would tie up the loose ends. Really though The Lying Game needs to come back.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with the Psycho story resolving fast but they could have explained more of why she was killed it's just 1B was so bad they just ruined everything and I was hoping season 2 would be so much better.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to watch a show that is long only if it's good and I don't watch PLL so I don't know but I hear they're still trying to figure out who the big bad is and it's been 5 seasons so how does that work?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really surprised but since it hadn't happen before I was a bit hopeful, I just wish they hadn't ended on a cliffhanger.
ReplyDeleteThe show was horrible, was definitely hoping that they would get into their grove in the second season. I felt like there were too many mis-casts for the show for it to be really credible. I watched all epi's but in the end was too frustrated because they were trying to make too much of a story out of soo little. I they had focused more on the reintegration stuff of Danny coming out of jail aka rectify-ish....I think they would have had a winner, as this is a real issue that people face when incarcerated. Instead they disney-fied the show and everything was rosey.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised in the least. There was unequal treatment of the 3 leads with Jo becoming the center of attention of ALL STORYLINES - when the show was premised to be about a 16 year old male returning from Juvie and trying to reconnect with his 2 childhood best friends. At the end of the season, that friendship was utterly destroyed, all the magic/ambiguity of the male lead stripped away, and all the main mysteries sloppily "solved" illogically. WHY KILL YOUR MAIN VILLIAN??? There could have been so much richness to the plot - by keeping him alive and causing chaos to all the characters since his prior actions had been entrenched in so many lies...in so much deceit. This could have kept things interesting. The writers and producers have only themselves to blame.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say this is the only mistake ABC Family has made lately but here’s a bunch more
ReplyDeleteKyle XY
Bunheads
Ravenswood
The Lying Game
THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING
They should've renewed The Lying Game instead. :(
ReplyDeleteLots of red herrings. Which would be fine except they still haven't solved a few mysteries from season 1 even, and they'll bring it up randomly, only to drop it again and then they bring up a totally new mystery. Even if the writers are genuises they've opened up so many questions and mysteries they will NEVER make it all make sense or ever be able to properly explain it all, unless they were start now. But nope, they are still stretching out the mysteries and only focusing on smaller, inconsequential ones. I've given up on the show, I may or not finish it when it finishes it's uncalled-for 7th (and hopefully final) season.
ReplyDeleteSeems like they are searching for a new instant hit like PLL, and even if the ratings aren't terrible they'll still cancel it after one season if it doesn't become as popular as PLL, instead of giving it at least a couple of seasons.
