Yeah, I didn’t love the whole of Away as much as other shows but I admired its inclusion and of course Lu/Mei and honestly, just having Lu. I was willing to let it grow a bit.
Each time we get news of more cancelations like this, I do feel this bit of unease, seeing it reinforced again how all this isn’t a meritocracy or rewarding the showrunners who try to run positive sets and create diverse media. It’s a matter of luck if a few of those take off but mostly it’s about appealing to the whims of people who tend to like straight and white and sensationalized, violent media.
