Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Fuck.

I had been critical of some aspects of this show, but I really did enjoy it and was looking forward to another season  >:(

Really not surprising though considering the cost of this show, the low ratings, and then the drama with Terrance Winter getting kicked off.  Just sucks because I loved watching Bobby act as Richie.

Bobby Cannavale can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned.

Bums me out.  I'm 5 episodes into the 10 episode first season, and I'm loving it!  I was all excited that they'd been renewed for a second season, but now they've gone back on it.  And I'm told that this leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

Well, everything isn't wrapped up in a tidy bow.  But I was satisfied with the season.

If that's all we get, I feel like I got a complete story.  Not just part of a story.

I wouldn't say a complete story at all, but they did at least wrap up the biggest storyline of the season for the most part, just nothing else.

Since I'm not really in tune with what goes on in the land of TV, I only found out about the cancellation from Mike Portnoy's Twitter account.  I thought one of the replies to his tweet was kinda funny:

@MikePortnoy I wanted #Vinyl to be about music. Scorsese makes everything into an Italian mob show

I thought that plotline was a bit out of place the whole season, but maybe there is some historical relevance there.

Scorsese does always do movies/shows with a mob influence.  I was actually surprised there was less of one in this show (although it seemed like if they ddi a second season, the mob presence would have been larger).  And the show was still more about the record label than the mob anyway.
