Those vacant looks say it all. In the 10 mind-boggling weeks since The Sopranos left us hanging, John From Cincinnati did what it could to rebuild Sunday nights. And though it will surely go down as one of the more inventive attempts at serialized storytelling, there won’t be much to reference. Last night HBO confirmed what we already knew: JFC will not be getting a second season.
What few fans remain will now have to stalk creator David Milch if they want to know what the hell it all meant – assuming he even knows himself. He did offer a few tidbits on Sunday’s series finale (as did episode writer Zach ‘Joss’s bro’ Whedon) to Variety‘s Cynthia Littleton. You can read them here and here. Personally, I feel like I’ve been let off the hook. I watched John for watching’s sake, but my attention waned as soon as the opening credits ended – which, if you never caught them, were pretty effing awesome.
