    My only issue with how it ended was both LGBT characters died.

    Pretty incredible storytelling and character development for a first season. So many layers to it. I honestly am ok if that’s it, no second season. They set out to say a lot of extremely important and revolution driven things about black identity and what true equality looks like. Reclaiming that which was stolen by white supremacy is the core of the characters on this show, and the pure amounts of black liberation theology and specifically black female resistance against whiteness are so well represented and presented. Misha Green nailed almost everything with season 1, and yeah, there were definitely a couple of missteps that she personally owned up to (indigenous people not being represented in a good light, lgbt characters in general not being well represented) but overall, the show did what it set out to do: shout loudly against white supremacy.

    I found the ending to be satisfying as both a season finale and a series finale as well. I of course would love to see more but it concluded in a way that I’d be fine with that being it.

    That's so weird. Not surprised either but still odd to do a one-and-done.

    RIP Supporter

    So can she not do season 2 with Apple TV or does HBO own the rights to the show?

    without being able to look at the contract ourselves, we won't know. My guess is that with HBO not picking them up, they can option the show at another network. If anyone else is interested though, that's between the show and the networks
