Strange Empire (2014–2015)
9/10
A poor choice for cancellation
2 October 2015
It seems inevitable that a series as captivating as this one should not be renewed. The sets, costuming, and script is of such quality. that it is much cheaper to pursue the dregs of reality TV. This show takes place in an odd location, in the 19th century with women dominating the strong characters of this series. The diversity of actors and situations culminated in my devotion which has now been betrayed by the head of CBC programing. I lament your decision profoundly. It is rare in todays choices to find such a unique premise. TV today is dominated by violence, "reality" TV and a preoccupation with advertising sales & viewer numbers. That is capitalism of which government is meant to fill in the gaps or failures of private sector productions. CBC failed in this endeavor by canceling this show after ONLY ONE season. I am disheartened.....again.
