Reply to comment by lightsongtheold in ‘Kindred’ Canceled at FX by MarvelsGrantMan136

Fan of the book but living in Europe so waiting until it is available here before watching.

So I am actually surprised that it wasn't a mini series. It's not too long of a book. If they could get all of The Handmaid's Tale (314 pages) into a 10 episode run, it feels like you could hit most of Kindred (287 pages) into an 8 episode run.

With Disney looking to enact a bit of cost cutting and Paramount and WBD both pulling dead content to save cash I’d not be surprised if Disney follow their lead and Kindred never makes it to Europe. It is a dead show without a conclusion. Airing it is pretty pointless at this stage.
