Well, that or they completely ignore that more and more people are switching from Cable TV to services like Hulu. By the way, this show's on Hulu.
And unless it gets super popular ASAP, they've basically cancelled it before it's half-way done. Because its ratings supposedly were low for the first episode of something NOT advertised akin to "Once Upon A Time"'s debut. And it didn't release all its episodes at once like "Orange is the New Black" so there was zero possibility for instant ideal ratings. Regardless, they have long-since began the slot changes to keep it away from viewers and even fans of the show.
But about the show, overall, this is extremely promising. You can immediately spot the talents and skills of the entirety of the Cast and the rest of production staff. Nothing is weak in any way and, better yet, it's not the "same old, same old" Casting style, in which people in charge and viewers alike are prone to pretending only White people were Europeans prior to African Slaves being brought over. As if the word "Moor" meant nothing when describing Othello; it had to have been one of Shakespeare's slang made to rhyme, not something that already existed in their society for centuries.
Okay, so away from praising the Casting, the first episode basically skims over what we know of the original play. However, it also contains prepping the (surviving) Cast for the rest of the story, and there is little reason to not be eager to continue watching ... unless you don't like the genre. Which would be strange to realize that considering its summary and reference to the famous "Star- Crossed Lovers" tale doesn't hide it.
But I truly, TRULY, encourage giving this show a try (before it's too late for Production to maybe get approved for continuing).
After all, "A Plague On Both Your Houses" never would end simply from two kids dying. There are always cousins.
And it's on Hulu.
