BBC America won't be moving forward with Copper. The period drama, which marked the cable network's first step into original scripted programming has been canceled after two seasons, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The move comes as little surprise, given Copper's rather modest ratings, much of the narrative wrapping up in the Sept. 22 finale and comparatively bigger buzz reserved for network's other original commission, Orphan Black.

Noooooooooo
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed in no season 3, really enjoyed the show and looked forward to every Sunday. What are they thinking....
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad.
ReplyDeleteThe huge success (at least with critics and on the internet, I don't know if it translated into
That's a shame.
ReplyDeleteNot too surprised as they say in the article it didn't really have the buzz and small shows kind of need that.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks I really enjoyed this Drama.
ReplyDeleteThat's a real shame! Yes, season 2 was a bit of a let down compared to season 1 but I was really hoping for a season 3.
ReplyDeleteI completely stopped watching after the 2nd or 3rd episode this season, went as far as canceling the series recording from my DVR.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say "I'm relieved" but I am. I watched the premiere of S2 when it aired and then never had the time to watch other episodes within a day or two -I knew they were "on demand" on Comcast. Now I don't feel obliged to catch up.
ReplyDeleteSo very disappointed. This is an amazing series with great writing and acting. With all the junk on TV, this was such an intelligent program and I am astounded at BBC America.
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge shame! It's such a good show with great writing and acting. I always looks forward to it every Sunday, and it will be sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteI was quite surprised by this at first, but after I thought about it it is not a shock...
ReplyDeleteEven last year I felt it never quite hit on all cylinders... something was missing. It was almost quite good, but not quite.
Season 2 has had some great performances, notably from Donal Logue who cannot seem to catch a break as a regular on a series! At least he has Sons of Aarachy....
I will blame the sagging Season 2 ratings on a lack of Annie! XD
I think her character was one of the highlights of the series for me and she has been sorely missed in Season 2.
Love this show. Sad.
ReplyDeleteSeason two suffered under the weight of the cliffhangers and loose ends from season one. That being said, it was still a decent and unique show that I'm sad to see go. I hope the majority of the cast catches on to good TV projects elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part is how they ended the series.
ReplyDeleteThe final episode made no sense at all. (Yeah, like we really believed three guys traveling from New York were going to arrive in time to capture John Wilkes Booth - especially those of us who know our history! They might as well have done a story about how Doctor Freeman tries to revive Lincoln!)
But even worse, they left so many plot lines hanging, and had the gall to end the show by creating a new one! (For those who haven't seen it, I won't give it away.)
From the dismal ending of Lost, Dexter, too many others to mention, and now this, I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth watching serial shows, especially when the writers and producers won't tell us what would have happened had the series continued. (Anyone care to guess what was to come on Threshold, Surface, The Event, or Wolf Lake?) At least show respect for the viewers by providing good endings. Stopping serial shows "mid-stream" (or with a "cliff-hanger") simply shows contempt.
So, sorry BBC America, what little interest I might have had in Orphan Black just died with Copper. I will not subject myself to this again. (I can always rent it for free from my public library.)
Amen to that last sentence. The actors were all superb.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few of the actors on other programs already but unfortunately the roles they're given aren't nearly as good.
