'Winning Time' Fans Rip HBO for Botching Ending of Los Angeles Lakers Show

One More Season
One fan replied: "Everybody killed it, I LOVED Jason Clarke as Jerry West, Brody captured Riley's intensity perfectly, Solomon Hughes was damn revelation. This hurts like I worked on the damn show and I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE LAKERS."
Infuriating
One person replied: "Show is so good. Cancelling it was weak. The last episode felt like they even didn't want it to end. Another season would be [fire emjoji].
Disappointment
Sneider added: "I guess a part of me should be relieved... my COOKIE JOHNSON script didn't get a chance to be completely cannibalized by this show, which did a nice job with their relationship. It felt ripped from my own head in some ways. Still A LOT left to explore there..."
Lost It
One fan said: "I want them to release the viewership for all their canceled shows. They were hyping Succession like it had 40M an episode."
From a Non-Sports Fan
One person wrote: "I'm convinced it's about player backlash and not viewership… it's streaming. My wife and I love winning time… but it started up while some of our other shows were wrapping up, so we just started season 2. Horrible misstep for Max."
Sad Day
A person said: "Was hoping to see a Celtics spin-off to see a more in-depth look from their perspective. Loved this series. Growing up in the 80s Laker Showtime captivated me."
Strong Message
And this fan wrote: "This is the consequences of going on strike. With no end in sight until mid 2024 not going to be any TV shows left. It's a lot cheaper to just strike everything down and let everyone else go and cancel it then just paying for stage and office space while waiting 4 just 2 groups."
