The show deserves a higher rating ;but cutting off the season at 6 episodes just so they could make 2 seasons was a garbage decision by whoever decided on it.
I get cliffhangers are all the rage ;but how many times have shows not been renewed and the people who enjoy the show been letdown?
I can't count on one hand how many shows I think were amazing ;but ended with an unresolved cliffhanger. I'll name just a few as examples, My Name Is Earl, Ash VS. Evil Dead and Last Man On Earth ;but there are MANY more I could list (even if just to fill the stupid 600 letter requirement).
The viewers who invest the time into these shows are the ones who get screwed over and it happens way too often these days.
This entire story could have been told in a 10 episode season ;but they'll drag it out to give us 6 more episodes.
