think the problem was it started as a generic episodic "detective show"
then quickly shifted into a huge multi episode story arc...
if you missed a few of the first episodes it was fine you could jump back in, but as soon as the
story arc started if you missed a week you were lost! think that put viewers off...
what a load of bullshit. i guarantee that shit my dad says will be renewed and it's one of the worst
shows i've ever had the misfortune to watch, tv execs seem to have their heads up their asses most

executives with no thought process for enjoyable television.
ideas that are statistically bias, decisions that have not let the show run it's course, just revenue raising!
as i said continuosly dissapointed!!!!
it was and still is an interesting, intelligent show.
sad to think they believe we are all morons!
fx is owned by news corporation's fox entertainment group.
you'd think with the success of sons of anarchy, louie, archer, they'd give a chance to lesser
viewed new shows... no.
maybe there wasnt enough sex, or violence, maybe ppl were put off by the start (the whole phone sex
tape thing), i admit some episodes were a pain to watch (the divorce, repented alcoholic clich
