After two seasons, the queer pirate romcom starring Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby was cancelled by HBO’s Max earlier this month – and its fans quickly mobilised. They raised more than US$21,000 for the campaign, which was used to purchase a billboard in Times Square and have a plane fly over Hollywood with a banner reading “Save Our Flag Means Death”. They also flooded Max’s social media, phone lines and customer feedback inboxes en masse, and launched a petition that has just under 80,000 signatures at time of writing.
In typical Internet behaviour, I tried to think of a rebuttal however immediately thought of what happened with Red Dwarf…
Black Adder had the right formula: different time periods in each series.
I can’t even watch the renewed Red Dwarf. Should’ve ended way before Series 8.
