Is anyone still upset about 'Made for Love' being cancelled?

If it makes you feel any better, the showrunners showed their appreciation for the support on the petition instagram post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceu4K-vukEd/

I am almost certain if the show had been picked up on another platform and a year or two earlier, we would be getting more than 3 seasons tbh. Due to bad timing and almost zero marketing/promotion (which I think was intentional on behalf of HBOMax), it got cancelled. Given that Raised By Wolves has a larger fanbase and announced that they wouldn't be able to find a new home anytime soon, it makes it seem like the climate is not good right now to find money or funding for cancelled shows.

Honestly, I have no idea how expensive each episode of Made For Love was, given how much VFX was in each episode (the BTS clips and footage I've seen so far show green screen use, but idk how that compares to a show like Raised by Wolves). Most likely not as expensive as Raised by Wolves, but VFX always increases the budget.

I will always hold out hope that the show will find more and more fans organically, and subsequently gain a following that will help spur another platform to take it on at least for one more season when the money gets following again among the platforms to compete with each other.

The showrunners, cast, and crew clearly loved making the show, and I am sure would definitely make another season if given the opportunity. Not sure why they haven't interacted with fans directly regarding their effort to get S3 on a different platform, could be due to contractual issues? Or that they already tried but the timing is not good?

All we can do as the fans is show our support to all those who were involved with show, spread awareness, and rewatch the two seasons that they were able to make.

What makes me most upset is now seeing them drag the corpse of Westworld around for another season. I wish this show had been better marketed? I had never heard of it until I spent some time scrolling through HBOMax.

I'm so annoyed.

And I hated the way they ended it! We were just getting some interesting character growth with Byron and his backstory was so interesting! Booo.... I had to make up my own ending.

I’m cursed to love underrated good shows. I’ve literally never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, yet that show finished till the bitter end (I’m aware that it was a good show in the early seasons). I wish the shows I enjoy were popular but also well done.

I'm still bummed. And like most everyone else, seeing the other shows that HBO is renewing just pisses me off more. I keep rewatching the two seasons we have, and also expanded into watching other shows and movies in Cristin and Billy's repertoire because I loved them so much. I found Get Shorty to be an interesting cross section of Made for Love actors - you get Ray Romano as a movie producer, Billy Magnussen as a wannabe actor, and the actress who plays the mob boss Amara was also the general in DC who meets with Byron.

I will never not be upset because WHO THE F*** IS ALICE?

But honestly, I will never not be upset because it made the second season and events that took place less important. The fact that there isn't going to be a season 3 diminished the value of season 2.. It wasted viewers' time by bringing up specific plot lines that were meant to keep the audience speculating on and supposed to be answered in season 3 that we now never get answers to. Honestly, that's more on the writer's than HBO. They were banking on it getting renewed and are quoted in a Variety article as having introduced ideas to be further explored in season 3, specifically that they ended it the way they did because of their ideas for season 3.

There's little value to the plot line of Aaron Benson now and Byron's whole childhood, as they left it unanswered. The same goes for Alice and who the hell she is, Judiff the Nun and the nun squad, Hazel's pregnancy, the fate of Hazel's father, the fate of the real Byron, the murder that was uncovered by the FBI agents at the Benson farm and who those two important people were... I could go on.
