Two days after ‘John from Cincinnati’ aired its first-season finale, HBO cancelled the show.
I liked the show, but after the last few episodes and season finale, I lost a lot of interest. There were a lot of good things about the show, like the seasoned actors and dialogue. But there were quite a few bad things as well, such as the acting of first-time actor Greyson Fletcher which killed me. And with the small amount actual surfing footage, I don’t know why he was cast instead of a better actor that could learn to surf.
The other bad thing, not giving answers to viewers about what they were investing in, is what really killed the show. Viewers are tired of being strung along on serials like we were with ‘Lost’. People are not going to invest themselves into a show when it doesn’t provide answers, like JFC did. Yet, for some reason, networks continue to ignore this fact.
