No one is happy with the news about The Wheel of Time. This was a great show that was only getting better, and now we won't get to see how it ends (unless some angel investor comes in and saves it, but we're trying to be realistic). The early cancellation of the show signifies the end of an era on TV:
The Wheel of Time's cancellation marks the end of high fantasy TV boom: https://t.co/bjseWTnbsK https://t.co/bjseWTnbsK
