RE: Revisiting 'People of Earth': A unique show that deserved better

while some of the smaller ones were left to die, with their audiences never getting to discover what happened to their beloved characters and the stories that were just getting started for them.

Sadly, this happens more often than not. It happens so much that I usually wait for a series to be over before I start watching it. I hate being disappointed by cancelations...

However, I did watch this one and I loved it, even though it was short lived as well.

these idiotic aliens that hold unknown power despite being, well, absolute idiots that seemingly fail at everything they're supposed to be good at.

Eehehhe, they were really funny, that's for sure. Also, I can't seem to shake off the feeling that the author was trying to make an analogy with today's political leaders. They are all too powerful... and equally dumb.

They were unique, offering something not really done before to the world. In a way, alomst alien itself. Perhaps it was too good for this world. Something we didn't quite deserve.

Yeah, maybe you're right... most people weren't ready for this kind of humour.

Nice review, thanks for sharing! 😎

It's funny how even years later after The Last Man on Earth was cancelled, I started to hear more and more about it. People ony discovered it when it was too late. It makes you think of just how many shows are floating around that we never even hear of, despite them actually being pretty decent. It all falls down on marketing and the effort the studio wants to put in to ensure something gets seen, of course.

Especially with these smaller shows that use casts that are Canadian or simply not all tha known. It isn't like their niche fans are capable of taking on the advertising themselves. Word of mouth is good but can only go so far.
