10 TV Cancellations We're Still Not Over

10. Vinyl

From the minds of Martin Scorsese, Terence Winter, Rich Cohen and Mick Jagger, it seems as though Vinyl was almost guaranteed to succeed. Though the first season ran for ten episodes, and HBO were so happy with the pilot that they confidently green-lit a second season, the show was unfairly cancelled, leaving fans (and Scorsese) heartbroken.

The show followed Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale), a record executive on the seventies New York music scene. With a slew of staggering performances, primarily from Cannavale, Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde and Juno Temple, and an engaging premise rife with sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and music history, Vinyl was only just getting into the swing of things when HBO gave it the axe, stating that it was too cost-heavy and not generating enough viewers.

Scorsese seemed more upset by this news than anyone, claiming the decision was "tragic" and that he wished he had had the opportunity to be more involved with the show as it evolved. Us, too, Mr Scorsese. Us too.
