1) Wanted to report that a decision was made not to make any more episodes of Mad Dogs.

2) We were lucky to be one the best reviewed dramas on Amazon, if not the best. A lot of critics got what we were going for, so thanks.

3) Some Amazon employees told me that Mad Dogs, after only four weeks, already had better streaming stats than many other Amazon shows.

4) So, thanks to the viewers for finding, embracing and binging the show. It’s been a blast to read your joy and shock on Twitter.

5) That said, Mad Dogs was originally intended to be a closed 10 episode limited series.

8) Cris Cole and I said we thought there could be but we should have that conversation on if and how after the season was over.

9) We had that conversation on Thursday with Roy Price and company. Cris and I laid out a story for Season 2 we believed in.

10) Ultimately, Amazon didn’t want to make that story and we didn’t want to make the kind of story they wanted us to make, so…

11) It made more sense to declare victory after ten episodes, which was our original plan all along anyway.

14) I’m so proud of our 10 eps and how they turned out, despite the many obstacles in our way.
